Art Resolution

3 min read
Hello, everyone!

Or anyone who cared enough to read this....

During my high school years around 2005-2009, I was really active with DeviantArt. It was exciting to be a part of a community in which I could share my work and receive feedback from artists who shared the same passion as me. What was most exciting was being able to have resources within this community, such as looking up works for reference or inspiration. It was also amazing to be able to watch myself grow, gain experience, and have confidence in my work. 

Looking back at my profile and gallery now in 2018, I'm actually really proud of my work. It's amazing to see how much work I've made and how they build up over time. I definitely admit that I fell out of touch with my Deviant, and it's been a long time since I've started digitally drawing again. In fact, it's been intimidating for me to start back up on a project...looking at inspirations, though they inspire me, actually intimidates me more than ever. I get filled with doubt asking questions and wondering if my art is ever good enough. It's really hard for me to start anything when I stare at that blank page, especially when I want to create something that amazes people who look at it. I think I set the bar too high and am disappointed when my own skills can't reach the goal in my mind.

I know that I just need to keep going. I need to keep making art and over time, I will get better and even surpass the goals I set for myself. It's been hard, but I want to keep practicing, and I enjoy creating art more than anything. I want to also be more active with my Deviant as this is a resolution that I will keep for myself. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who have been through the same rut as I have, and it's difficult to bring out that courage to truly encourage yourself to keep going. Being out of college and my art classes, it is really hard to find that support and feedback when they are no longer there. Every feedback from friends and family counts now, even if they are just being nice. It's just a little push that will keep you hanging on, and sometimes, that's all we need.
