also, why i am on the fuckin topic, the reasoning that finally got me to vanquish my imposter syndrome even though objectively i am not the most skilled artist to put it very mildly LMAO
think of all the art by other people that you have ever loved! and think over how often you loved it, not due to the technical execution on display or the foundational expertise, but because it had some element, some verve, some spirit that you liked - some touch of the person who made it that made it resonate with you despite the fact that like all art it had flaws
did you like it any less? NO!!! did the artist still do a rad thing by sharing it with the world? YES!!! does that same grace apply to you, the person reading this who often looks at your art and despairs the same way just about every artist in the world does? YESSSS!!!!!! It is not your perfection that appeals! it is your eye! your You! Like all those other imperfect artists you have ever loved!
