What do we lack? Artistic self-confidence. How do we augment this? Some thoughts.
1. No social media
Social media as the worst deterrent to creative thriving.
2. Childlike curiosity
A child doesn’t seek to be ‘good’ as an artist. A child simply seeks to explore their own personal curiosity for fun!
3. Focus on just making stuff, not perfection
To gain self-esteem [higher self-estimate of yourself and your art works], focus on the act of creation. Just keep making and creating, don’t look back. The second we look back to gain approval from others, we fail. When we look back, we are waiting and looking for approval from others. This is not what we want.
