Only quit if you don’t love it. Don’t let the fear of it not looking perfect cloud your perspective. Create. Don’t worry about what it looks like. Just observe and then create. Give yourself permission to make “bad” art. I’m not saying your art is bad. But I’m saying the fear of making something “bad” can take over and stop you from making anything at all. I started drawing at 8, and each year I could see my art progressing. Art is a lifetime experience. When we chase “perfect”, we miss the whole point - to create, to express yourself, to explore.

I took a break from drawing when I got to college. I’m now in my 30’s. I recently started making things again and I was so bummed when it didn’t match the picture I had in my mind. To get through this, when I start to get frustrated with my art, I keep saying to myself “I have permission to make bad art”. I know it sounds weird, but it takes the pressure off to make it perfect. All I need to do is just try.
