You dear reader, have been given a gift of creativity. You were designed for a purpose, and part of it is to create.
Pitfall thinking----> your art is supposed to like mine or Picasso, or Monet...
Truth-----> your "art" or projects do not need to look like something you have already seen or experienced
Pitfall thinking----> if you can't draw then you are not artistic
Truth----> many "artists" (including myself) have used light-boxes to trace, projectors, tracing paper or templates
Pitfall Thinking-----> If it isn't perfect it isn't beautiful or good.
Truth-----> If you shoot for excellence and NOT perfection you will have much more fun and enjoy what you have created without stress.
What makes my heart sad is people telling me they aren't creative. You have the ability to create, whether it be as a programmer creating code or a sculptor creating a funny squirrel with clay. Maybe drawing isn't your thing... there are plenty of outlets to be creative. If you have tried it once and failed... give it another shot if you really want to do it. You are creative, dear reader... maybe it is with your words and poetry, maybe it is making music, metal art, baskets.
