For as often as I visit DA, I never seem to mess with my own page, do I? Well, I organized the faves and gallery, and here's a journal entry to boot!

I've been having a bit of a crisis of art lately. I in no way claim to be a good artist. I enjoy what I do for the most part, but I do it strictly as a hobby, and it definitely shows. That said, I *am* trying to improve. Perspective, better anatomy while keeping it in the style, more backgrounds, etc. The problem lies in that I have less time to do these things and also that in trying to do them, I'm often hitting glaring limitations in my artistic ability. These can lead to some nasty frustrations, and thus the intent of having fun while drawing goes right out the window.

People have asked me for webcomic advice, and my number one piece of advice is to have fun. Enjoy what you are doing, and people will enjoy it, too. Lately, I've been having a hard time taking my own advice, it seems.

A few friends, including my comic partner, Robin, have recommended scaling back and going with a simpler style like I did in the past. But I really hesitate from purposefully going backwards when I alreayd get criticized for not improving. But at the same time, time is a factor, and if I'm not having fun--well, we covered that already.

So any advice?
