I don't think any good artist is truly satisfied with his/her artwork 100%!.

I know I'm not!.

In my opinion, the strive to constantly improve and do better is what produces good art!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes this is normal!.

it can be a good thing since you see the flaws in your work and well know what you need to work on to become a better artist!.

the other people might not have as close of an eye as you do and so they don't see the mistakes you do or let's be honest even if they do see the mistakes they may be being nice or because you can draw better then they can whatever you do seems great in comparison!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i feel the same!. or i feel like my art cant be classified as good due to the fact that i draw realism and always use a reference!.!.!. and the fact that a bs the hair and background!.!.!. i dont try so why do i deserve the credit i am given!?

idk!. people love my art and bet me not to stop so, as you said as well, i guess we must be doing something right!?

but then again, i see people who IMO SUCK!.!.!. and they get compliments all the time!.!.!. D: so i start to think D: well maybe they are just saying that :D ****!.!.!. being an artist is hard D: lolWww@QuestionHome@Com

Hehe, most every artist is this way!. "You are your biggest critic!" Take a step back and instead of noticing your artwork's flaws, appreciate the time and effort you put it to it!. also, you can try making a mental list of what you DO like about your artwork! Hope I helped!Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's true!. It's just that i don't tell anyone my flaws, there is some people out there that will see my paintings and love them, but they won't see the flaws and i don't want to show them either!. I like to have people guessing what i put inside my paintings!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

haha ya that normal cuz that happens to me i take a look at my work and im proud but then i look again and im like what the heck!!!now it sucks!! but ya its normal it just means that you know that you can do better than thatWww@QuestionHome@Com

everyone is like this nobody thinks their own art is good, you can always find something wrong with your own artwork!. or maybe everyone is just lying to you, who knows!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
