So this post will be the opposite, How satisfying it is to be an artist
When a piece of art turns out well in the artists eyes, its one the most satisfying feelings ever.
There's a certain point in the process of drawing where you just realize this one is going to turn out really well, its like a click, a sudden realization, and its actually really exciting!
when I first started drawing portraits, I wasn't super good at it, which is understandable.
I kept going at it, and one day while I was drawing a portrait of my sister and her friend, I suddenly realized that it actually looked like them, and that for me was all I needed to keep going at portrait drawing.
I realized that I could do it, that I had potential to be good at it, and of course, I then went on a spree, drawing portraits of everybody I knew.
and the more I drew the better I got, it was super exciting!
This is the drawing that really had me realize I could draw
Sometimes I look at a blank piece of paper and I'm actually really amazed at what people can do with a pencil, a pen, a paint brush, I've always felt like art is like a peek into somebody's mind, much like every form of art, really.
its like an artist puts out a piece of themselves for everybody to see, and its really really satisfying when people praise it, its a huge self esteem boost!
and I don't always show how proud I am of my art, but I really am, I don't like to boast too much but I think its good to like your own art, its very important as an artist, and if you're too down on yourself about it, it kills the joy and satisfaction.
So as an artist I try to be positive, because it makes me happy haha
writing this post makes me want to go draw something :)
