I guess I\u2019m pleased with what I can do, but I\u2019m also aware of my limitations and where I struggle, so I feel like there is a lot I can still improve on. I don\u2019t think you can have a solid goal when it comes to art, since it\u2019s such a long, evolving process; I notice something I\u2019m lacking, I work on it, I improve that thing, move on to the next thing. The things can be anything from overall color palettes to how I draw eyelashes. Becoming \u201cgood\u201d at art is a long process full of many small goals, no single large one, and it doesn\u2019t end until you quit or you die. That\u2019s the beautiful thing about art. You never know everything. You can become skilled, even masterful, but you\u2019re never done.<\/p>\n

Getting discouraged or being unhappy with your work makes the process a chore, and more difficult to continue working at it and improving. I\u2019m always pleased with what I draw even if it could be better, because the act of creating it is pleasure for me, and I also know that if I keep doing it, I\u2019ll be better in a month and a year and in ten years. I don\u2019t really mind waiting.<\/p>\n

I hope you don\u2019t mind me publishing this :)) This is something I feel pretty strongly about the art process so I wanted to share it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
