My artist arc
it's hard for me to call myself an artist but i'm currently trying to improve my skills so i can draw better.
For the longest time, i always thought my art was just straight up bad, that i should be ashamed of myself. For crying out loud, the best i thought i could do was stick figuers and even that was a big ask
One big reason why i had this mentality is because i would often see so many talented artists on twitter (or bluesky now that twitter is unusable) and i would always compare them with own, and my art would always look inferior to literally anyone else. Making e feel wortless, like i couldn't do something even a toddler could do easier
But if i wanted to chase my dream of becoming a game dev, i had to try harder. Look at drawing tutorials, getting a tablet and doing my first commission.
I didn't actually made real money because on the PMU discord server, CGwest was looking for commissions for pokes, the in-game currency; But that meant that i could have a nice starting point without much risk
And...... It went a lot better than i tought. It's still wasn't something great compared to other artists, but i very much underrastimated myself. And with enough practice, i could potentially do really nice looking
i still don't feel confident in showing it but once i'm done with the new commissions i have, i might update the site with a gallery to show them off. And who knows, i might start doing commissions. I'll let you all know whenever i do
TLDR: always believbe in yourself, even if you think you can't, you are just holding your own potential back for not even trying.
