i want to become a better artist but in a way that im actually genuinely excited to keep honing my skills and i find it very very fun to keep learning and improving and making mistakes and learning again. i think the pursuit of art should be fun and exciting and not sad and depressing
I'm sure you'll get there soon enough !! Realizing it might just be the first step ~
this is the way
i think that getting "too confortable" with yourself and your skill sometimes makes you stop searching and going out of your way to learn, thats something that hapoened to me and i have to force myself to have that "drive" again because learning and improving is honestly the best part of art for me
hugs to everyone i wish i had better advice to give than... its a journey...... and maybe you should give less of a fuck...... art should be fun!!!!!!
i think what can help making it more fun is learning how to accept having "forever wips" and rough sketches as the final output art is a subject of expression after all, so even rough ideas can tell a lot
Just remember even the best at their craft have their bad days. I always tell myself my purpose however small was to make music, and doing differently would be going against my being. Moments of struggle is tough, but giving up for us artists is even scarier
Same here!! It sucks so much to only care about the result, and when the result isn't good enough you simply feel worthless as an artist It shouldn't be like this yet I can bring myself to enjoy the process:(
tbqh ive never really liked my art & probably never will, but thinking this way is what makes me so obsessed with art&drawing… + imo the value of art itself is the act of learning art & learning what makes art So Good, and learning what makes me love Good Art so much
I feel this really bad. I’ve been going through this kind of funk too. It sucks because back then I had that kind of fun!! I’m sure we’ll all get out of this and have fun with art, that feeling always comes back at some point 💕💕
what helped me was a bit of conditioning... i would do what was fun, and the second I found it boring or annoying, I allowed myself to stop immediately, even if it happened withing the first 5 min. i learned to manage that feeling, and sticking with practice was much easier.
