Nahhhh I need to make an advancement. Am already a graduate and now I have to find a job. Its all a part of maturity. Its a vast world out there and only the best are selected. Chances are much greater if you excel in one field. We may know many styles but people will always go for the experts of a certain category.
Artists are all the same. We have artblocks and mood swings, it's pretty normal. What differs is the way we motivate ourselves in certain situations. I for one, when having an artblock. I draw the ARTBLOCK itself.
Its my counter measure to make myself draw and kill artblock.

Yeah, it's a very competitive world out there for young and growing artists like us which makes it hard to devote ourselves into this kind of career, because like you said, people will only choose the best - among the bests. It's always been a tough call to devote one's self into artistry. We need to excel and be great on our field just to be selected or be hired.
I too need to find a job but i like to do art at the same time, i mean not to prioritize it equally with job but pursue on it even i'm working. I might excel slowly but it's a good thing to do what you like from time to time.
I don't know what you meant about drawing the Art block but i do a lot of things to motivate myself into vectoring, like just thinking how happy my friends can be if i show them their vportraits, or i just browse for vector pics to bulk up my imagination - but these things i do to be inspired aren't always effective. It'll actually be good if i figure out how i can constantly motivate myself whenever i get an art block.

Still having a hard time with rendering
I just didn't get what you meant about "Draw the Art Block itself". Like how do you draw it or like how do you even picture it? For me, to motivate myself, i look for excellent artworks and i get inspired (usually) and that's how even started vectoring, i got inspired by some people and learned it on my own through checking different online tutorials. So maybe that's my way of destroying or removing art blocks - by looking at excellent artworks for motivation.
[quote=Edd;#68189;1336810345]Remember Geni, and never forget. To make art and satisfy your self. You will improve in a high speed rate if you learn to make art for yourself and not for others cause. Am not saying that you should not do art for others. What am trying to say is that you should make an art for yourself. To satiate your hunger for creativity and to portray what you want to say to the viewer.[/quote]
I do enjoy making art for myself and same thing with doing art for others. I am happy doing both

[quote=Edd;#68189;1336810345]Making art to gain others praises and compliments is what you should avoid. True art comes from your own passion. "Kaya nga ang mga magagaling na artist wala silang pakialam anung sabihin sa kanila ng ibang tao." It is because they make art not for others sake but for their own. I learned this the hard way. I was about to quit making Art because I doubted my passion for it. I was fueled by anger of seniors who gave sh*tty opinions on my art. They made fun of it. When the time came I was above them I began to ask myself. "I reached this level, why? Because of my anger to surpass those seniors who bow by my feet or because it is my passion?". I quit art for 1 year. Before I realized it was my passion. Never step the same faith as me Geni, learn from others.[/quote]
I'm really not sure how to respond with this one but i'm sry to hear you got crappy opinions from those who were once better (or [i]seniors[/i] as you mentioned) than you. Maybe you did expect appreciations or any kind of praises from them but you didn't get it after creating wonderful artworks influenced by them.
, I appreciate praises and I want them on every of my artworks. It's my way to tell how good my artwork is from the people's perception. I appreciate different kinds of praises and even criticisms, as long as they're constructive and/or from experts. The people from VxV have appreciated and respected my works so far, and in return i respect their works as well - one of them is by welcoming different kinds of opinion. I'm in development so maybe one day I would possibly realized what you learned but for now, I don't know. Praises, appreciations, constructive criticisms do motivate me.
