The lack of "evident progress" has been haunting me for a while now. I wanted to share my thoughts in case you're also having similar feelings and punishing yourself for "not improving enough" (as all artists do 😂).

Rina here to call out my down fall. Jk, but this is a good video. Honestly I used to watch your speed paints all the time when I was in a rut or had art block.

Thanks for sharing this! I just draw as a hobby and sometimes I try to remind myself of that when I'm feeling a lack of progress. Even so it can be hard because I do want to feel like I'm getting better but as you say, it's about looking for what I've learned and how I've improved with each drawing. At the moment my pencil sketches are getting better and I don't feel that translates into drawing with a stylus but, my pencil sketches are getting better so that's still a plus!

awww thank you dear! Makes me happy that I could help you back then! The speedpaint era of Youtube was so nice xD

Indeed! We gotta look at it that way and appreciate even the most subtle change because that means we are exploring, and that's the only way to have a chance to move forward!
