Current Roadblock

facing Unbeauty🌱
- seeing an ugly WIP demotivates me even if logically I know it will get better when I add more to it.
- It manifests as a physical reaction: don't know how to describe it my chest feels really uncomfortable.

Aside from good technical skills, why should people like my art?
- currently my strongest weapons is still composition but it will be getting old real fast if I don't spend time to study and do more isolated graphic design.
- theme, topic and subject curation is another field to explore

my 3D drawing skill is still weak so I rely on my flat composition skill.
My willpower dwindles as the commission approaches completion. The later steps suffer as a result (graphic design couldn't be polished more, some rendering is rushed etc, color grading sometimes have to be skipped)
The character rendering doesn't easily match with the graphic surrounding it.
I have to extensively research the character so that I have many materials to work with. It takes a lot of time compared to character commission, but at least it's fun.
I'm not too sure, but my poster artwork don't really do well on Twitter, I think it's because the content is too customized for my client and it can be hard to understand and communicate. Beauty in rendering and composition should be the easiest for me to communicate but I guess my skill and uniqueness is not there yet. I have plans to improve my skills in every domains but I'm stuck with drawing and sketching for now

due to low technical skill, shitty perfectionism and my worries about the future.

weak Drawing Skill, I've been using my color and composition skill to compensate but that's not going to cut it in the near future
- Archived: I've since improved my drawing skill and I think it is useable for consistent commission now. Still not enough for my most ambitious idea but that's ok for now.
