I really like the cretaivity for the weird aspects in your art. Soemthing I admire but just can't imagine myself. As Alec said the first question that popped into my mind reading your text was why are you forcing yourself to do digital art, if you can't enjoy it. Are you hoping to get to enjoy it, do you think it is necessary for your carreer? Depending on the answer I would figure out what is frustrating to you. Are the program and the options to overwhelming? Do you miss an aspect of traditional art? I staretd traditional and I got my tablet just for adjustments and background coloring (background with alcohol markers are....). But then this method surprised me. You can experiemnt so much and never have to worry abou messing something up you like. You can play with colors, brushes, masks ect. For me it really sparked my creativity as soon as I found out that I can create art that does not look so 'digitally' like I had always thoght it would always do (yes I had no clue about art or digital art at all ^^). So if you have reasons to keep trying digital art, I would say try to embrace the freedom, that you can play and experiment until something klicks with your style. Also for me I really started enjoying playing with the options when I found the program that felt intuitive to me. For me that was CSP, but I think that is very subjective.

really nice! im also still struggling to get used to digital art myself so im not the best at it and only finished like a couple vids from ctrl paint XD it does feel a bit tedious but once you understand it will be fun! i suggest u to watch ctrl paint's vids on brush control since i think ur work can definitely boost a lot with it and another tip is to paint over ur sketch layer to give it a cleaner look and more rendered feel to it! i really like ur drawing concept and color choice here! really nice work i hope some of my tip might help ^^

Hi Jonas, I do not mean to sound derogatory, but it sounds like you don't enjoy digital painting, have you tried your hand at painting traditionally? Personally I enjoy painting with gouache/oil a lot more than with digital when i want to make 'art'. It is a weird thing but I always find that there's some disconnect between myself and photoshop, so I just don't do it much unless I need to for work. In general I don't think it's good to force something you don't enjoy doing. I'm curious what your goals are with digital?
