Whenever I'm in an art block I find myself drawn towards the recreation of other artworks for the sake of inspiration; Salvador Dalí's "The Disappearing Bust of Voltaire," done in Copic markers.

Friendly reminder to not punish yourself for creating.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by this?

[why-bless-your-heart]

I have a tendency to beat myself up whenever something I make doesn’t meet my expectations (which is always). The result is that finishing something = bad feelings: I am effectively punishing myself for having created something. The natural reaction to this punishment is an aversion to creation, meaning that my perfectionism is harming me, not only by causing me to despise what I do make and by impeding the creative process, but by attacking even my desire to create.
