*Your art will be terrible. (13.06.2025)* Art is such a raw and vulnerable thing, and when you are new to it, it can turn out to be really terrible. You start with joy. You love the process, but you do not always end up with a piece you are happy with - it can be that heartbreaking. It has happened to me hundreds of times, yet somehow I keep going with renewed hope. I think there are two things that keep you going: 1. Even when your art turns out terrible, you somehow learn a tiny little thing, like a colour combination, a pattern, a design, a texture that you can use to upgrade your future work. 2. And sometimes, it's not terrible. It turns out great, and you savour that piece. When you look at it, it brings you peace, it brings you joy, it reminds you that good things can come out of art and you must keep going. So anyone who is trying art and failing, just remember it will be terrible, but you will progress, and good art will also arrive, it will become more frequent if you keep making it, if you keep enjoying the process, and learning through it.
