You actually cannot skip to being good at a creative endeavour that you haven't put much practice into. You cannot trick your way out of the 'knows that your work is not what you want it to be but don't know how to improve it' stage by planning or reading or talking about it really really hard. At some point you just have to craft through it until your brain finds it's own unique way back to the 'everything I make slaps' stage and be prepared to start the cycle all over again. You just have to make that project you're excited about slightly less good than you want it to be. (Says this standing in a pool of blood and covered in blood and also coughing up a little blood)

I dunno, stop apologizing for your art. This includes not posting enough, too much, changing style, inconsistent style, repetition, subject. Its your art its your expression. Have fun.

you're allowed to draw. draw badly even. draw and then delete it. draw and rework it and then delete it anyway. draw only half of it and the other half three years later. in one style or another. in different styles in the same week. traditional or digital. you're literally allowed to draw however you want

These remind me of this drawing by Franz Kafka from the 1900s. We've been feeling this way for a long time.

Jamie Wyeth (American, b. 1946) The Raven, 1980, oil on canvas seen at Brandywine Museum of Art

"I was alone for two months when I was doing [The Raven], and I got this whole thing of, 'Is it alive with me, in the dark?' Totally freaked me out." - JW

After seeing the painting, Andy Warhol noted in his diary that "Jamie is painting bigger--more Pop-pictures now. I told him he should go even bigger.”

Y'know how they say a child writes the best poetry before they learn what poetry is "supposed" to look like? I think a visual artist makes the best visual art before they learn how well it would sell if they made an enamel pin of a possum saying "be gay do crimes"

Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck.

i do have to say that no matter how shitty any sort of media is or how shitty your own creations are. always remember

I assure you: somebody, somewhere, is on the exact same wavelength as you are.
