When it comes to art for me I usually stick to my comfort zone of what I know I can accomplish. I will stay away from subjects and ideas that I know that I cannot do super well or to my liking. My work to me must be perfect which is why it is hard for me to just doodle or have sketches. To me those doodles are a waste of space and paper. I take a really long time to try and figure out what I am doing for my next piece of art.

Fear in art is something that will affect everyone. There is no escaping the black hole. The black hole surrounds you and taunts you because you know you will never fully be able to do what is in that black hole. Fear is what holds people back from becoming great.

The fear is holding me back, I originally wanted to be an architect but learning all the hard steps and processes makes me wonder if I will ever be good enough to fulfill my dream. Graphic design is the backup plan to what I really want to be doing. The fear of not doing well or not being good at something… that I know that maybe one day I will be great at… is hovering over me like a dark cloud.

Fear. It will always be there but what you do with that fear will determine where you stand as an artist later in life.
