I have a stock of art supplies gathering dust. I feel bad for not using them, but also I feel like using them is a waste of material bc anything I do will suck.
I get the concept of ‘keep sucking until you don’t’, but I don’t have the mind and emotional energy for that.
I’m the opposite. I used to just paint without worries or doubts, each artwork taking me less than an hour. Just pure, raw inspiration.
But then I learned a lot more about drawing and painting and catch myself doubting every action and each piece takes me hours and while the results might be technically better, nobody finds them interesting anymore.
Since I’m not particularly creative I’ve thought of picturing everyday objects in all its ordinary glory so that I don’t feel the need to represent them accurately.
I don’t know if that makes sense to you or of it even helps, I’m not particularly qualified on the subject.
Ps. If you feel like posting your artwork, there is a neat community !artshare@lemmy.world
