So I made myself a cup of tea, saw your video notification, and thought, “Oh nice, perfect combo.” But at one point, I was like, “Wait, who the heck is she talking about?” 😂 Thanks, Josie! Just wait till I share my favorite art books and the person who inspired me to make that video. 😅 Regarding your art piece-first of all, acrylics are pure evil 😂 They’re so hard to master, but you’re doing great! They actually suit your comic style really well. Also, I’ve got a few pieces myself that didn’t make it into my “aesthetically pleasing” portfolio. I once spent a whole day studying one of Da Vinci’s famous angels (just the face). After hours of work, I remember asking myself, “What’s the point of doing this?” I actually felt pretty down that day. It ended up in my forgotten drawer. But looking back now, I think it was okay. Not every piece needs to be ‘the’ piece, and not everything has to go online. Sometimes, just the decision to make it is enough to give it meaning.
Haha, if anything this just goes to show that everyone is different, I think acrylics are easier than watercolours - which you obviously use masterfully! 😅 I totally agree with you, I don't share everything I make and I don't make everything to share either. But you know, there's a lot of excellent artists with original thoughts and sometimes I slip into comparing myself to others. I guess everyone does 😅 but yeah, I've probably learned the most from my "failed" art than any of the good ones! Definitely keeping "the decision to make it is enough to give it meaning" above my desk. That's such a good motto.
