Hope about my life, I have...  
Hope about my artistic talent..that's a  WHOLE DIFFERENT THING.

Every time I look at my drawings, I feel a sense of almost sadness. I do improve every now and again but on the whole, I don't really have the kind of talent it takes to get hired in the industry I want to work in.

I'm a drop in a sea full of artists that are so much better than me for one reason or another... It kind of makes me want to give up for a little bit.


Also, on a slightly related note, the reason why I fail at getting better at the artistic basics is the same reason why I fail at losing weight, becoming vegetarian or getting my license.

I AM WOEFULLY UNDISCIPLINED ABOUT ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT DIRECTLY THREATEN MY EXISTENCE, RIGHT NOW.

Until I fix that fundamental problem, the other things won't line up.

I have to think for a bit.

Well for one thing, what kind of art are you interested in doing and for what? After you figure that out, think of all the possible jobs in the area you could get and go look for them. Also, is there a way you would consider working at a company that works WITH artists like yourself (i.e. comic company, etc.)

And if you want something badly enough, even if it's not life or death, you have GOT to give yourself more solid plans of attack and not just say "I wanna diet" or "I wanna drive" You need a plan to make that want reality. So figure out what you want, what you need to do to make that want a reality, then do it little by little.
