Dealing with some art block recently, drawing some mushrooms helped a little.

Stream of consciousness post ahead:

Sometimes I worry too much about making good art or creating a perfect finished piece, only to become frustrated and give up when I can’t. 

I’m still not great at applying paint the way I want to, or choosing colors, or coming up with poses, or designing backgrounds, etc., and being open about those shortcomings was the whole point of starting this blog (and my IG, Twitter, etc.)

I wanted it to be a way to say “everyone has to to start somewhere, and everyone makes mistakes, it’s part of the process”. As time went on I got more followers, people started messaging me for advice, and I started to feel like I had to keep up with some imaginary expectations, which turned into sharing less of my process and focusing more on making art that would make people go “ooh so good” and that could match the skills of other artists I admire.

The truth is I’m not “ooh so good” yet, and the artists I admire are still out of my league. Yes I’ve gotten much better at many things, but I still struggle a lot with others, and pretending that that isn’t the case is just dumb and the exact opposite of what I set out to do in the beginning. It’s also probably the reason why I’m in an art slump.

I don’t know where I’m going with this, but I guess I’ll be doing and sharing more WIPs, sketches, and not stress so much about painting the next freaking  Mona Lisa.

Anyway, yeah, mushrooms!
