RE: The Fear of Messing Up: My Journey in Art!

in Sketchbooklast month

Really relate to this because it's easy to underestimate the fear of messing up, but when you're in the real situation, the fear is much stronger. I really felt that whenever I start a new art proj, when things get pretty smooth going, that's when that fear starts to kick in (especially when I color stuff). Anyway, you really color well! I'm not really into coloring because I'm not good at blending colors, and I also really suck at analyzing color theory ahahhaha... Btw, continue making art because, with a talent like that, I know you'll become a pro, and who knows, you'll get expensive commissions someday... Bitaw, I'm rooting for you dae!

Exactly, that fear is really something! And what's funny about it is that the greatest provider of our fear are ourselves. That is why at times, it is so much challenging to conquer it. Like what is said, "Your greatest enemy is yourself." But at the same time it is our strongest ally too. So, it's all up to us, to choose whose hand are we going to take.
Oh, no! To be honest, I'm not really the best at coloring, I suck at it and I lack the patience. But, you know what? We just have to trust the process. It may look terrible during the first layer, but I promise you it gets better. You just have to keep going!

Thank you so much for your support. I appreciate it a lot ❣️🙆.

Yep, totally agree with this... The fear of not knowing what will happen after does really attack me often during the art-making process (especially that I'm an overthinker, ahahaha), but yeah—you gotta trust the process—whether it'll turn out good or bad because what really matters is it's another experience, a stepping stone to become better at your craft.

Btw, you're welcome~⁠♡
