    All artists see all the flaws of their work. That’d a normal experience to have.

    And you did used to have fun drawing as a kid, it’s just now you’re worried about making something look good, rather than just the fun of creating something. Try doodling once in a while while you’re on the phone just to make something because you can.

      I remember the exact moment I gave up on art as small child. I made something and it got lost. Spent hrs on something and poof gone. I tried but couldn’t recreate it. whatever spark I had was gone. Plus simple things like coloring in the lines was hard. It still is lol. Meanwhile things like science can always be recreated. its never lost just waiting to rediscovered.

      I can appreciate art but I’ve given up on creating it without any form of assistance. Can’t even remember the last time I did a doodle. My SO makes doodles everywhere we go lol.

        You should really just doodle for the sake of doodling sometime. Stop worrying if it comes out good and just enjoy making marks on paper.
