My Caricature Attempts

Well, that's basically Uma Thurman, isn't it?

Wow, disturbing lack of response, and no likes for either of these. Am I really that crappy at caricatures? Should I just give up and work on my general drawing skills?

The other ones were good. This one isn't. There's always a lack of responses in the Artists' Corner threads. Keep practicing.

Wow. That's a harsh response. Is it the likeness or just the drawing in general that sucks? I have a problem with girls I'm sure, because I tried doing Jodie Foster before Christopher Walken, and she didn't turn out so good either. I'd love to keep practicing, but unfortunately I'm too humiliated, burned, angry and disappointed to even attempt to fail again at drawing, yet I'm too restless and enraged to think about anything else. I'm really losing my fucking mind over this, because I NEED the approval that I'm a talented artist, and that my drawings are at least good, especially at this point. Otherwise I feel worthless and ridiculed. Really, it can't fucking be THAT bad. Like some 5th grader drew it.

Trust me, I'm not always this bad at handling criticism, but lately I've been accused of being stupid as well as apparently a bad artist, and I just. Cannot. Fucking. Handle this. I feel like if I'm not at least smart or talented, then I have no worth and no reason to live and should just shoot myself in the head.
