My Epiphany as an artist
2 years ago
General
For the longest time I struggled to love myself as an artist as the work I do were getting less loved and lose hope. On top of that, some time back, one of my friend showed me their merchandise of the picture made by their favourite famous artist. Someone I know. After that I was at a breaking point wanting to give up, not able to get the love I yearn for no matter what I make.
But then……..an epiphany occurred.
I learnt that someone I know, someone who is a badass artist while I was a rookie artist back in the day, lost her drive to draw cause of the meds. From that moment, it made me realise while being a bad artist is a very upsetting feeling, but losing the ability to even draw is much worse and it’s not like I can’t draw or even drew bad art. I really hate myself for even gave in to doubts of my drawing skills when there are plenty that couldn’t even draw.
With that in mind, I vow not to doubt myself in drawing ever again, even if I get no likes, I don’t care.
I been drawing some stuff ever since then. I will upload more stuff once I finish a few finishing touch of what I been working on.

To keep this long-winded speech short, don't be afraid to want to be like others. If you want to get better, do the best you can to do so. If you like where you are, and it covers the need it fills, then that is perfectly fine too.
