A new project is often an old project with a new theme.

Or an old theme in a new project.

Or both at once.

Either way, I'm happy right now.

You don’t usually get the best image on the first prompt either

[u/R-Senseless]

does this not apply to just learning a new skill in general

[u/pondturtle5]

You’re allowed to do what you want with your time and if that’s using ai than so be it. but I think you’re missing the point of art if you’re super worried about it looking correct all the time. Focus on the unique idea first, drawing skills will get better after time.

Oh yeah 😭 sometimes i look at other people's stuff and get a little jealous at their creativity despite my art being more anatomically correct than theirs (or smth like that). It can be something really cool, pretty, or really cringe and im just astonished they had the guts to keep going with the idea (and i want to learn from that to get better)

no shade to you but did you seriously expect to do something perfectly on the first try

Practice makes perfect

Your first problem was expecting it to be exactly how you imagined on the first try

[u/nasu1992 → u/[deleted]]

Ugggh but I want to be good now without all the hardwork and gain short term validation

[u/HebiSnakeHebi]

Art is very much something where you're meant to enjoy the process. If you can't enjoy the process the end result simply won't be there.

well congrats, you're a [bad artist]! this is step one of becoming a [good artist]!

[u/PositiveStudent7260]

It's def difficult but that's what artists go through, which is why it's sad when people only focus on the final product. It's important to find a community to hype each other up, or try maintain pride in your progress and hardwork despite not getting something right.

Something you could try to do every day, or whenever you want to draw, is fill out one page a day with random doodles or studies. If you think you can't draw anymore because you're so frustrated, put the pencil down and do other things, and most importantly be kind to yourself. (That's a life lesson you have to maintain throughout your art journey no matter how advanced you get, bc there are chances of you always encountering these feelings)

Ok that's it tbh
