- With centuries of art behind us, it’s easy to tell yourself ““Everything I try to make has already been done before.”
- The fact of the matter is that people are still making art, and will always make art.
- Every iteration of an idea is your own, your interpretation that hasn’t existed before.
- Many artists ask themselves constantly “Am I behind other artists?”
- Being an artist is so much more than technical skills, your engagement with your content, what you have to say is often more important.
- It’s very easy to compare yourself to other artists and see how much further along they are, none of us are exempt from that feeling.
- Many artists worry about whether their artwork is doomed at a certain point, and question whether it’s worth continuing the artwork.
- Most people don’t have the experience of really truly pushing an artwork to it’s entire potential, so push yourself to do more than you think you should.
- Artists asks themselves “Am I doing enough as an artist?”
- People have busy lives! We do what we can do while taking care of ourselves and other people.
- A lot of artists will never think they are doing enough, but there’s a limit because we all human.
- We have to accept that there is only so much we can accomplish in our own circumstances.
