i think the most important advice to give to someone who dislikes their own art is âtake your timeâ
you donât dislike your art because itâs bad, you dislike your art because youâre improving! since youâre improving, your standards -especially for yourself- are getting higher,
you donât dislike your art because itâs bad, you dislike your art because youâre improving! since youâre improving, your standards -especially for yourself- are getting higher,
therefore it makes you more critical on your own work. this can happen at any stage of your art journey, and itâs completly okay! try to think of the specific things you like about your art. maybe itâs the colour palettes? maybe the way you draw a certain thing?
maybe itâs the lightning? even if itâs something very specific, itâs still positive because itâs something you like! now, if doing art truly does make you feel bad, itâs okay -and good!!- to take a break!!! remember that you are your most important, but also your most critical-
audience. if you feel unhappy doing something, donât do it! take some time away from it, maybe come back later once you feel good again, maybe not, itâs all up to you. if youâre not a professional, there is no point in being entitled to still draw no matter how it makes you feel.
itâs honestly just going to make you feel even worse about your art. so donât do that! take time away, whether itâs for a week or for a year. as an artist, youâre constantly improving, by observation, so itâs okay to not practice for a while!
take your time, because one day the moment you actually like your art and the fact of doing art will arrive. but it will not be linear, it will not be perfect, youâll always have to improve, and thatâs okay, itâs the case for every artist! even the bigger ones, despite how it
may seem
to conclude this very long thread that doesnât make much sense: art should be pleasurable to you, but it canât be if you donât accept to step away from it from time to time. and your art is always âgood enoughâ! thatâs it :)
