I hate it when people are like, \u201cI\u2019d draw more, but I suck\u201d.<\/p>\n

Guys.<\/p>\n

Guys.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re always gonna suck at the beginning. I sucked, your favourite artist sucked, your Cool Artist Friend used to draw faux Disney paws when they started out. <\/p>\n

Art isn\u2019t easy. It\u2019s actually pretty lame sometimes.<\/p>\n

But if you don\u2019t draw\u2026 If you hold yourself back? You\u2019re never going to improve. Being self-depreciating in your work won\u2019t help you, because if you don\u2019t appreciate your effort, do you really expect others to?<\/p>\n

Be confident. Open commissions, take trades, even if you\u2019re fucking terrible. Someone will want your art, someone will want to help you grow, and you\u2019ll gain experience by drawing things in ways you\u2019ve never drawn before. <\/p>\n

Please don\u2019t believe that you can\u2019t get there, or that people won\u2019t appreciate gifts or fanart because you\u2019re not Picasso. It sounds silly, but the heart of what you draw is what matters, the effort you put in, how hard you try to get better. <\/p>\n

So don\u2019t worry about it. Just relax, and draw. Draw people, draw furries, draw fuckloads of porn. It doesn\u2019t matter. <\/p>\n

Just create. <\/p>\n

I believe in you.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
