How would you rate your art abilities out of 10?

Still as low as ever. I’ll rarely if ever get any critics to help me grow or have people willing to look at my work to help me grow. Even when people agree to look at my work I don’t hear back from them. Guess my work is so horrible it makes them lose passion in what they’re doing.

@Amana09  
Just had a look at your artwork here on the site.
 
I’d say you’re around 5-6 out of 10. (No backrounds for the most part).
 
I think the reason no one’s critiquing your art is, there’s nothing really to point out.  
It’s pretty much spot-on to show style.
 
Of course, that means they lack a bit of the… personal touch.  
(Maybe try adding some shading to give the illusion of depth perhaps? Most of your art seems to be a bit flat. It’s not bad by any means.)
 
(Most artists here that have been producing for a while have a distinct style. You can look at a drawing and say “yeah, that’s one of X’s”).

Guess I was jumping to conclusions seeing as you posted here in a thread about how good you think your art is….
 
As for fan fiction, I’ve no room to comment there.
 
Only got 1 story, and it’s not been well received.
Background Pony #15DC
Compared to other artists I like 3of10
 
Compared to the skill level I want to get to about 5 1/2of10
Background Pony #47F0
I’d say I’m about 6/10 on where I want to be, but that can change depending on what style I’d like to get to.
