Description

i can't do it for much longer 
i don't have a character that i enjoy drawing
i can't draw digitally, only traditionally
i can't design a fursona
and since i don't have one i like drawing, i don't practice, so i don't get better
i also want to draw humans
but i can't 
they turn out horrible digitally
i have too many styles
and the one style people actually like of mine won't get me anywhere in life
i'm so close to giving up

It sounds as if the problems you are faced with are problems I am as well. I feel like I draw better on paper because I can get my ideas down better, but I also like the easy way of drawing digitally. I can't design a fursona, mostly because I have an ever changing personality so one doesn't ever stick because it doesn't fit me the next week or day. I ten to just randomly draw up a character, and keep drawing that character for the day, then I create a new character the next day. It's easier to keep an open mind about characters than creating one and having that on character define you as the artist you are today. An ever change array of characters shows that you have a creative mind and you're always open to change in them. And trust me, you've gotten a lot better then when we roleplayed in :devrebelious-wounderers: 

Also, I've always had a hard time drawing humans, but when my old friend told me that if you stopped thinking negatively about your ability to draw them then you'd be able to. Her words worked and it seemed that in a matter of minutes I figured out how to draw humans in a style of my own, you've just got to practice on a tablet, because it's muscle memory. You've got to get used to it and not have a negative mind or else you might just get angry like I always do and ruin a good pen tip (lol). 

I'm a style copier, i've always been one. If you want more of your styles to be know, then make it know. I grantee that your watchers will accept your other styles just as much as your most lenient one. So just show off your paper drawings, or show off your other styles.
