I think I've finally found out something that's been at the core of my artistic dysfunctions.
Anxiety over wasted time and hatred for slow progress
Of course, yet another fucking thing that exists thanks to my fucking parents own traumas. Jesus fuck, I'm so fucking tired of digging up traumas and then finding out it's because of my parents. Jesus fuck, I already I know I have daddy and mommy issues, but fuck me it's like every single trauma I dig up, of course it's their fault, and it's their fault because their fucking parents caused that trauma to them too... Fuck me, mental trauma is the thing nobody fucking asks for but absolutely everyone is given.
But really, I've had problems with perfectionism, with impostor syndrome, yet everything at the root of this is because my progress is being glacial slow, and everything fucking feedback-loops into itself.
>(Feel like) I suck at art, need to draw more to git gud.
>Drawing more is just a waste of time, why don't I just draw something big down.
>Real artists do X, you're not a real artist if you don't do X.
>Put down a bare minimum of guidelines
>oh, it's out of shape, you didn't do X, a real artist does X
>You're fucking wasting time
>why bother? You're just wasting time, go do better things...
>(delete the page out of frustration)
I'm tired of this shit. I just wanna suck in peace, and yet at the same time I want to draw things good so I can get on with my life...
Yet I completely forgot about drawing just for the sake of drawing... As a kid, I didn't give a shit how bad or good my art was, I just did it because it was fun.
What am I missing? How do I avoid feeling guilty about wasted time?
