The biggest turning point in you life as an artist is when you shift gears from thinking “I can draw these things but not those things” to thinking “I can draw anything! Quality not guaranteed, but I can draw it”

This is called “practice” :) Also sometimes “hold my beer” ;)

I like this

Me, with backgrounds. I can do it, but will they be quality? 50/50 😂

Big ups for self compassion and the right mix of determination to learn, makes you unstoppable!

Thats... thats very accurate!

I wish I could draw anything that I care about. Things I care about are what I take pics of. Would love to be able to sketch/draw them

Me realizing that I can indeed draw buildings, just not at architect proficiency

That applies to a lot of things. I remember tackling the teaching of courses I was not really well versed in, but I took them on and learned as I went. Sure, my first attempts were probably just a hair above mediocre, but I would say, "I can do this" and I did. I wound up being fairly good.

Which I feel is a very big step toward "I'll try my best, but at the end of the day, 'done and made' is better than forever chasing 'good enough.'"
