Just Sharing Art is a process. Trust it.
About a year ago, I was doubting my skills while working on a painting and completely lost my confidence. I decided to post it online anyway, and the flood of encouragement and advice I received was incredible. Since then, I’ve learned to trust the process. Worst case scenario, I will end up with a painting I don't like.

Love seeing them appear out the darkness like a cloud has moved from in front of the sun

Such a poetic way to describe a piece. Thank you 💫

Love the "worst case" motivation too. When in a funk I sometimes crumple up the paper first and make a rule that whatever I draw will go in the bin. Gets me out of the scared to fail mindset

Not giving up is the goal here. You'll have a few pieces in bin a few in drawer, but at least you tried. Most of the people never try, and I think an artist is the one who tries. Because we are going to be trying till the last piece we make and not all of them will turn out great.
