There's hope beyond this lone abyss.
This is something I stand by: It’s impressive to make something, anything. Even if something doesn’t turn out the way I wanted, be it writing, or art, or some fumbling with code, I think about how it would be worse if I hadn’t tried at all. If I had stopped as soon as something didn’t turn out the way I wanted, or didn’t function the way I intended, or I made some silly mistake, I would obviously be not be at the point I am at. There’s always something to learn, some experience to be gained, and fun to be made in not getting caught up in the idea of “This will be bad”... and the process is fun too, admittedly, as long as I don’t get stuck in a cycle of negativity. I love looking at my old art, even from months ago, even from years ago, and comparing it to my art now — there’s visible progress, but it also makes me appreciate what I’ve made, as it is rarely as bad as I remember it. I’m good at making sure I don’t compare my art to others in ways that aren’t useful — I note techniques, etc.— and it’s useful to compare my art to my older art. There is very tangible and visual progress I’ve made by sticking to it, and sticking to it...is so damn difficult, but I gotta make art! This is a subject I’m super passionate about and can and will ramble on about it for text walls I was just thinking about while I don’t do 1x1 RP anymore, an RP partner saw the art I sent of my character and said something like “I wish I could draw like that” and I just told him that it isn’t too late to start. I really hope he picked it up!
:sob: I love art so much
