I think as artists we just have to get used to feeling not proud
#my art progress (day 317/365)

To understand its part of process of growing
Ans that it's always room for improvement but we shouldn't get lost in the bad feelings
Like in this piece I already see stuff that I could change or redo but I'm leaving this
I'm observing and I'll try to change it in my next drawing

I believe that part of that is being like having the stigma of everything can be improved which i believe myself, but it leads to underwhelmed emotions once i am done with my work. But holy i would be jump and showing it too everyone and be like "i drew that yess i drew it"
But i am not a pro or intermediate artist to point any flaws hence i want to improve to point flaws in my own drawing soo i can improve

You know I've noticed that the way you're studying also is important
Or your references
When I was starting I had troubles choosing proper references I used extreme angles or woth light and shadows that were complicated
It made me feel bad because I wasn't able to draw this

I get how u feel! But remember growth happens when you push through your discomfort or lack of will with discipline
Just try to draw for 10 mins
And if u feel like continuing, great! If u dont well u already did 10 mins
If its about you feeling like u wont/can't get any better, thats only a mindset not reality
You got this!!
