I thought about speedpainting, but I saw it as a “performance” to show off skills rather than a practical way to draw things.
I design my character as I draw them. The process is messy and slow and breaks into multiple sessions. I honestly don’t think watching speedpainting performance from other artists is good for your skills or your confidence.
If there is one tip I can give, is that your heart is more important than your skills.
During my low period between 2012 – 2022, I tried really hard. Studying all sorts of things, doing all sorts of practices and stunts, but things only got worse. More knowledge with a bad mental state means more distractions and chains to creativity.
Now I have basically “given up” any expectations of “what I can get from art”, things actually get much better for me.
My current state is that I know exactly what I want to create, I have the observation ability and taste to assess my own art, I know how to improve, and I actually believe in myself to improve if I wanted to. The process of drawing is the most important thing to me. Any outside validation is just a bonus.
In my experience, this change of mind helped more than anything else.
