Posted 2023-02-28 20:07:03 (edited) #966924 IDK, random realization I had I figured I'd share. Who knows, maybe other people feel the same way lol What started me off on my art journey as a kid was all the crazy stories, characters, and worlds I had; and the need to put them down on paper and make them real. I'd see amazing, breathtaking art online, and it would spark fountains of creative ideas and thoughts. I'd see scenes of a giant fire-breathing dragon, fighting armies. I'd see pictures of giant castles and alien planets, or even just a peaceful cat drinking from a river; and they all would light up that creativity in me and the urge to make my own art. Make my own worlds, draw my own adventures and scenes. It filled me with a "GO, GO, GO" drive, to always make my art better, always rework and fill out my stories, and overall what gave me motivation to improve myself… But now… after years of doing my own art, now when I look back on those pieces- I understand how they were made, what method was used to make this particular style or that effect. Not only that, but now I notice; Hey, that castles colors are too flat, they should have added more tones. The lighting in that army scene is all messed up. That cat drinking from a stream, its anatomy proportions are all off… All the things that used to fill me with such creative energy, now have lost their magic in a way. Seeing the things that always drove and inspired me, now sort of fading away into just regular artwork when they used to fill me with such passion, and I dunno it kinda makes me really sad… Never meet your hero's amirite?

That's probably because you've grown up and can now see all the things that you didn't when you were younger. I can totally relate, there have been loads of art pieces I'd try and re-draw when I was younger in order to practice, but looking back - those references were really not that great! Now I look to be inspired by real life photographs and sometimes moodboards, which are actually unexpectedly helpful for being creative. Good luck bro I hope you find more passion!
