"when i think i'm not improving, it's when my knowledge has outpaced my skill. i've learnt something new, but my hands can't do it yet" this was a really eye-opening and strangely comforting perspective that i never would have thought about. in the future, when i notice flaws in my work, it'll be reassuring to realise that i'm still growing as an creator, because at least i know what i need to improve in. that gave me a huge boost of encouragement that i've needed for a while :)) keep up the great work with your videos!

God, everything you listed is exactly what I'm going through at the moment. Really sucky! Glad to see other people are understanding of this experience. We can work through together, just gotta keep at it :)

i have something to say but also anxiety abt being. the only/first comment on this vid???? i dont even comment a lot on Anything. wtf. anyway ngl, just the fact of you sharing how you dont draw all the time or get overwhelmed when you feel you're not drawing 'enough'(in a way that sounds familiar to me/my situation) already uh. makes me feel better about the whole mindfullness/foregiveness part of doing things. probably because i look up to yall so. its nice to know im not the only one worrying about that or having that issue, especially when its someone that I think or see as doing all the sorts of things I want to do. hopefully me saying this makes you feel good too

AAAAHH!! I feel your hurts artistically so much!!! I feel artist anxiety creeping up as soon as I begin to stare at that blank sketchbook page or blank iPad screen…Love U!!

I've been going through this for a long time. thank you for sharing your experience, Ursula :'3

Yeah I'm going through it too!! I've been in an art block for almost 2 years, and this affected my art a lot, making me regressing instead of improving... Since this summer I am trying to get back on my feet, but with uni and stuff I have little time to draw... So I often get rusty at drawing and this gives me breakdowns (I just had one today) where I get desperate because "I suck at art, I can't even do an illustration like when I was 14, I'm 20 something and younger people had already achieved an awful lot more than me, blah Blah" .... It's hard for me. I've got projects and dreams I want to fulfill, but I can't do that if I can't draw and that adds pressure to pressure... This video was really helpful, it was nice to know that someone else, even someone that "achieved things" has these thoughts... Plus I pushed myself to draw even if I sucked today, which is an accomplishment, so hurray!!! I wish you all artist to break through your art block and being able to finally create wonderful things! Good luck, everyone, let's do our best

i high can relate to this im as a artist wanting to finish a small project but its sometimes get discouraging i even make new ones because my brain wants that shock of excitements but it can later on drops cause how i lower myself for little efforts i put into them

I don't experience most of this, my autistic routine requires drawing once a day and I could draw my comfort character all day long. I usually end up drawing a certain character at least once a day. My problem is actually drawing too much. It takes effort to NOT draw for 2 days, not drawing for a week sounds impossible for me personally. The only thing I can really relate to is not finishing projects but usually because of adhd. I usually draw for my own comfort, joy or because I'm bored. So I usually don't compare myself or my progress to other artists. The only time I get frustrated is when I can't get an idea down on paper the way I see it in my brain. Especially if it's in my brain all the time I need to get it on paper. Also drawing is just personally self soothing for me and a good way for me to wind down after a long day. I just clicked this video so I could understand what it's like for someone who doesn't have my experiences.
