Of Art, Confidence, and that akin
2 years ago
I'm gonna prattle on into the void, but should the void want to speak in turn and offer advices I wouldn't complain.
I've been working on some stuff with my art. It's something that can't be shown as it's mental.
I have art, I have a whole stash. I just didn't want to post it.
So into my mind I go. At first I suspected it was the usual quality insecurity, the whole "It's not good enough" to post. I realized that was not the case. Trying to convince myself that was the issue, because that would be "easy", felt wrong, like I was hitting a wall.
I stepped back and had to wander the depths of my mind.
One thing I realized is "You don't have to do full polished pieces, you can just do things with less detail, things at different stages of the art process. A sketch can be just as complete as a full on painting"
Along with the "Draw what you want to draw"
I'm not doing any sort of freelance work, it is 100% okay to draw whatever I want.
I did a couple scribbles to help myself there (like so: https://tinyurl.com/ysc65ewr) Little known fact, I love drawing me some sighthounds!
The other, a major one is I'm afraid of being judged largely for my subjects. It's a little funny as it's not the typical "Oh no, I don't want to be judged for drawing lewd stuffs/porn" Still a SFW artist, sorry guys :P.
I haven't quite pinned down why this is the case, still working there. Especially since it's been things like drawing foxes or dog, or concepts for a 'sona (Shout out to
Shadowhide and his mate for being my sound boards and giving feedback). Perhaps it's the new subject matter that's coming with the potential 'sona?
Who knows?
Have any of you ever hit these walls? If so, how'd you get through it?
