I wish I was someone who could draw to relax but if I don’t use 150% of my brain power, everything I draw comes out looking like shit 😭Dec 23, 2025

Art doesnt have to look a certain way
Its for the ride and the need to create.
Let urself do shitty drawings and just enjoy letting colour hit the page.
Art is first and foremost for the artist and anyone who tells u ur art isnt good can kiss a wall cuz its not for them!
Same 😭
I gotta stay locked in and focus
I bet you will look back later and realize you just had your ‘criticism valve’ turned all the way up, and those drawings were a lot better than you realized. Or even if not, sometimes art is about the process and not about the outcome 💖💖💖
I do recommend drawing something that looks like shit from time to time, it's good for you.

Sometimes I take a fineliner and fill out a page with doodles and life drawings, they're all bad but it's really nice after you stop worrying.
If I DO draw to relax, it’s locked-in relaxing 💀 no mindless art for me
