One of my favorite things to do is to go through my old art and laugh at it. To see how confident I was back then in my work despite the fact it was really bland, boring, and altogether not very good. It’s also a good reminder to me that I have improved substantially. I always get discouraged and this is how I boast my morale. I drew the picture on the left in 2008. That was only four years ago. The one on the right I drew only a few weeks ago. I have certainly improved. And that always makes me think what my art will look like four years from now. What will I be able to do that I think I can’t do today?

So to all of you who feel discouraged with your art, just remember that you’re going to improve with every picture you draw. It might take a long time, but there’s an amazing artist in you that’s going to blossom overtime.
