I tried my best and i was motivated to create art and progress, which is what matters most. feeling as if i outdid myself, and feeling great that i was improving. slowly but surely over the course of a few months more, i was progressing—and i had the potential to draw something i’d never, in a million years, think i could do. i’m still growing up and of course i’ll get even better, given way more practice. i’ve still got plenty more to tweak, but it’s important to be thankful for what you have and happy w/ what can do. years and years of potential are ahead, and you unlock more as time goes by. starting out is all part of it—i’ve learned not to be upset when i can’t draw something the way i intended to. something that’s hard to swallow for me is that not every new piece has to be better than the last; take it easy. i only have 2 pieces for some of the months because they were the months where i really took a deep breath and realized i don’t need to rush and burn myself out. yeah my art still wasn’t the best it could’ve been but it was something—and i was proud i’ve still got plenty of years ahead of me and you do too, so let’s just keep our chins up and keep on moving forward ew why did i type thid
