I have a list of some mutuals and their ocs I want to draw fan art for them for quite some time now, but idk what stops me, maybe just fear of messing it up 
it’s like you put any mental pressure on the act of art and suddenly it’s impossibleMay 7, 2024

People love to get art of their characters! I'm sure anyone would love any art no matter the quality. Plus drawing other people's can get you out of your comfort zone and push you to learn! Only good things really.

•I absolutely get that. Either drawing something for someone else or trying to pay tribute to someone else's art is anxiety-inducing. I dunno if it's mental pressure in general, at least for me, because I do that to myself with everything I draw. But there's crushing fear that comes along with the prospect of causing someone else disappointment.

•thats actually so real, its the reason i can't do commissions, they always end up looking bad or i procrastinate sm it doesnt get done

It’s always so scary but when you flip the script and think of how you feel when someone draws your ocs, no matter their skill level or style, you always feel so happy 
Gotta keep the focus on those feelings for sure!

I feel you I've always seen my art style as... "unconventional". It definitely isn't for everyone- and that made me scared when I have to draw for other people D: But I remind myself about how happy I've been EVERY single time someone draws my OCs! So just think about how happy you'll make your mutuals

•If that's the case, mess it up on purpose. Show yourself it's not the end of the world if you mess it at first, or if you just do a quick sketch fanart. People will love it whatever it is, it's art about their OCs! It could be an abstraction and it still would be great.
