There's hardly a thing I can say, everyone else have already given sound advice. Just be assured we all love you =O

Try to surround yourself with positivity. Do or see things that inspire you. I often find music helps accomplish this. Too much negativity (in so many areas) has been my issue as of late.

As has been already touched on, despite what you think of your work, just go at it. I remembered when I was younger and my art was just awful. I guess I kept at it back then because I wasn't thinking of perfection. I was thinking of sharing my unique perspective/skill level with everyone else. ...That and I had more energy then too. -_-

Hope this helps.
Be well! :3

I believe that all artists feel this way from time to time... I certainly did when I was still a photographer... I went back and revisited what I had liked about working in the medium in the first place. Before all the technical stuff, what is it you like at your most basic self. This is the thing that nothing can take away from you, the core. If you find joy there, it is so much stronger than your reservations. Once there you can add layers back, style, content or whatever. If you find a spot you actually don't like, bypass it for now, perhaps it is something you don't even need ( ... )
