Art is not some gift given by the muses. It is a skill that you learn from all the time.
While trying to draw a turtle, I had a hard time trying to figure out how their legs work. So I had to google reference.
While inking my pen accidentally blooped out extra ink I had to clean up.
Even during the inking process, I had to scratch in details for the shell, lest the extra info would overstimulate my brain.
Art is imperfect, messy, and fun to me. It’s the way I have stimmed for years as an autistic person. Let’s bat away perfectionism and have fun again.
