I have to say that first things first you should find a way to decrease your stress. Stress effects the art you crates and usually not for the better. As a person who had a similar problem I would suggest a cup of green team and some Bob Marley or just regge or chill music as you take a moment to relax a little. It might just sound strange but after an hour of just sitting like that I felt so much better and now my art is so much better. I would also like to say that the US is the only place I know that considers collage to be a continuation of traditional school. It is not mandatory to go to collage right away and also will do you better to experience the real world first. Lastly, NG is one of the best places to put your art because of the way it is built and the concentration of artists in the community.

You just gotta' power through the hardship, I'm debating weather or not to go to Art School as well. Also, it is sad to see this site slowly drop off the map, I wish there was some miracle influx of users from some strange land, it needs free advertisement. This site doesn't get enough attention.

Ye, Im hoping if i just learn how to schedule stuff right itll be easier.
Whats great about this site though at least is that its userbase is a lot more connected in a way I guess? But I'm hoping it does see some users as well, Im hoping some people from other art sites migrate here too.
