Hi everyone, i need a little help. I used to love to draw, but suddenly when i entered college to study animation i cant do it anymore. I am constantly comparing myself with other artists and constantly telling myself that i suck. In high school i used to draw manga style and then began experimenting with other styles(american comic, french comic, cartoon,etc). I moved from one to another because i thought i sucked, so i kept looking for a new style. I have never taken life drawing lessons until now, but currently i dont draw anymore, i am not happy with my drawings and have an art block since almost 6 months.
i used to copy other artists drawings a lot...and that became a bad habit...
The truth is i am very sad and anxious, mad, stressed and many other feelings. I want to draw happily again, make drawing a pleasure not a weight.
 
can you go back to old sketch books and look for what you actually liked? i know it's like a lot of things in life-music/fashion etc. trying to find your own niche. i know the majority of famous people had their 'standard' people they would always draw and name them. i guess start simple and keep drawing!
