[dykeplants]

recently I've been feeling like there's been a real rut in my art and that I've hit a plateau. so out of pure boredom I gathered up all of my physical sketchbooks I could find (12) and I decided to look at the very first one which coincidentally I also did when I was...12 years old. and looking at it and comparing it to my recent art it made me feel so much better about the plateau I've found myself in. eventually there will be a time when I look back on the art I've created now and say yeah I have improved so it brings me a bit of relief

#ive been doing this whole art thing for 8 years now..even longer if you want to count 1st grade art class and i decided i was a pure genius #but ive been comparing myself a lot to other artists and feeling like my art has been going no where #which isn't the best thing to do #so it was good to take the trip down memory lane bc it was a reminder that i am getting better and that my pace is fine lol #who knows what my art will become in another 8 years!!! #anyways i finsihed sketchbook 11 two days ago and i was quite happy bc that sketchbokk lasted over 4 fucking years so lets think about that #10 other sketchbooks i used in 4 years...WHY😭 #bee vibes #im becoming too introspective i think its the realization that i hit 20 next month sinking in and im officially no longer TEEN. #i want to tie that into my art too so many feelings there #one of the ways to feel good is ive just been holding my pencil like someone holding a paintbrush up to the canvas to compare proportion #and it was reallyy fun #felt really fluid
