last rps are v good; every now and then i have to re-evaluate my relationship with my art and figure out what i need to do to dig deeper and firmer, and remember my skill level (and any or lack of progress) won’t necessarily make me like my art more

you have to believe in your work when no one else is there to acknowledge it and stand firm in your belief when they are. part of why I love art, writing, music so much is [because] its imperfect. because it has somewhere to "go." art is a pilgrimage, it's a conversation. the growing is the loving.

many posture themselves as self-flaggelators while forgetting that mortification is about faith. the flagellation is in the growth, the hard work put into your craft. that is the "suffering" : not berating yourself again and again until you've forgotten why you began creating in the first place.

It seems people are often afraid of liking their own art work due to the worry of being perceived as egotistical or conceited, but you can still love your work and have a huge driving force behind that acting as a love for learning and improving. You can be proud and seek joy while you grow.

my fav is gesture drawing wc is why i tend to draw full-body, but sometimes my poses get VERY wonky bc i push it too much. but the results come out more satisfactory than not and it’s made me handwavey and “energy > accuracy!” well now i’m drawing them naked i can’t quite get away w that as much ><
