Art is all I've got (and I'm not even good at it)

Learning how to draw is hard. ESPECIALLY as an adult. There are so many added layers of complexity involved with picking up a creative hobby in adulthood. The truth is, art is all I've got, and I'm not even good at it.
In this video, I discuss the emotions behind loving a hobby so truly, but being pretty bad at it. It definitely is a rollercoaster of an experience. If you are a beginner artist, or better yet a fellow beginner adult artist, you'll hopefully find this video relatable in more ways than one.
Enjoy~

you've got this ☺☺

[@JuliRoxArt]

Thank you 🙏🏼💪🏼

I don't think skill is your problem. Rather the topic. Even with your skills if a client sees a view that can be seen outside own window - why pay for it? Though some of your Pinterest art is really cool...

[@JuliRoxArt]

Haha oh gosh, thank you for taking a look at my Pinterest. It's quite a bit outdated 😋 Yes, you do have a good point, art needs to speak to a person in some way for them to want to buy it. Sometimes, it's not about having the skills to create a perfect replica of a scene.
Although this video is about how I view my own art and skill level-and not for the purpose of selling. It's about how discouraging it can be to want to identify by your art, but not being good enough to do so.
