“there will always be a frame of reference where you and your art looks bad ,and one that looks good, and if you start to believe that you are bad you’ll get discouraged”
Ooh! This is a perfect opportunity to bring out the graph, because there’s a very interesting phenomenon in art that’s good to be aware of:
Your skill at analyzing art and your skill at actually producing it usually grow out of sync with one another, and this naturally results in high & low points. Often when you see too many flaws in your recent work it’s a result of getting better at perceiving those flaws, then your skill catches up and the cycle begins anew.
