Newest merm! Hope you all like her 😌💖

Random rant: Today I was at a coffee shop with my sketchbook and had some time to think about my art. Sometimes certain pressures roll into my mind when I think about my future with art; comparisons of my work to other professional artists’ work creep in and I begin to feel restless, like I need to reach their lofty standard as soon as possible. In those moments, my expectations of my inner artist become overwhelming and suddenly drawing the simplest thing is burdened by obstacles of dissatisfaction. Then, artist block takes hold.

If you ever feel stressed about meeting a certain standard with your art or compare yourself to other artists and feel discontent, remember that your work is one of a kind; we all have a special line, a unique brushstroke. Enjoy the phase that you are in and don’t rush it. Comparing yourself to other artists and striving to be like them will lead you further away from your true authentic inner artist.

Just some thoughts I’m spilling over here 🙈 Hope everyone has a great night/morning/afternoon/evening! 💖
