I’m feeling really sucky about my artistic abilities rn 😭 I have all these things I WANT to create but I’m so bad at drawing and if I think about it I’ve ALWAYS been bad at it. I feel like I have good color sense but idk what I can channel that towards

This is not something I want as a profession, just a hobby, but I do desperately have this itch to CREATE… anyone have suggestions for ways I can make art without being good at drawing?

You won’t get better unless you do it—don’t let it keep you from creating. The whole meaning behind art is through the process

I felt this way my whole life and finally it clicked for me a couple of years ago. What helped me was watching other people create art on TikTok and YouTube. Seeing their techniques. Don’t be afraid to use a grid method or using projection.

I’ve felt the same way, for example drawing people or having inspiration but exploring different areas of art, different types is really important. You’ve gotta find what u r best at

So for good color sense u could simply start with doodles, or just copying something from the internet to practice
