Artist Journey

Doubt, perfectionism, and comparison can hold you back more than any technical skill. Planning and Shifting your mindset is just as important as refining your technique.

Doubt, perfectionism, and comparison can hold you back more than any technical skill. Planning and Shifting your mindset is just as important as refining your technique.

Start Your Artistic Journey With Clear Plan

When I first started my journey, I used to draw randomly, hoping I’d get better over time. But without a structured plan, my progress felt slow and frustrating.

Everything changed when I set clear goals. I broke my learning into phases, focused on specific skills, and created a routine that worked for me. This helped me see consistent improvement and kept me motivated.

If you feel stuck, the best thing you can do is create a roadmap. Set small, achievable goals. Focus on one skill at a time. Track your progress. When you know exactly what to work on, you’ll move forward with confidence instead of guessing your way through.

Overcome Self-Doubt

There were so many moments when I thought, Maybe I’m just not talented enough. Every time I saw artists who were miles ahead, I felt like I’d never catch up.

But I kept going anyway…

And over time, I realized something: self-doubt never goes away, but you can learn to push through it.

Instead of comparing myself to others, I started comparing myself to my past work. I celebrated small wins, even if they felt insignificant. The more I focused on progress instead of perfection, the more confident I became.

If you ever feel like you’re not good enough, remember—every artist you admire once felt the same way. The only difference is that they kept going.
