[@SweetlyDarkArt]

I was told i wasn't allowed to be an artist, that I'd always fail and starve to death. I was always told my dreams are impossible and I'd forever be a burden. That's my childhood in a nutshell. I'm just now in my 40s breaking out of those mental traps.

[@Wilmy.]

❤❤❤

[@artprof]

Unfortunately, this is not uncommon, it’s awful! -Prof Lieu

[@iamrjdennis]

Thank you for this. We need to believe in ourselves! As artists and as human beings, we all have the power to make the world a better place. It is human nature to dream, and hope, and desire to create joy in our lives. And we all deserve that. It's important to have a reminder sometimes. 🙏🏻

[@artprof]

So well said!!! -Prof Lieu

[@lindyashford7744]

Thanks for this. Really deep seated imposter stuff here. Makes me overthink things and stops me pushing through to completion. Yet I am ok with what I do when a couple of years has passed! By then it does not seem like mine anymore….

[@suppohkram]

gosh this is so relatable y’all. Really does feel better knowing I’m not alone in feeling like this. Thanks for sharing and letting us in on this mini discussion 🙏

[@SS-qg9jk]

Wow!!!! Hell yea!!

[@RoyOrbisonsElvisTape]

I feel like I cheated when I use tools, that I know are not cheating. Reference photos, rulers, protractors, my goofy 1940's elipse maker thing. I know they are all ok, but deep down I feel like a fraud, because there is someone out there who not only can do better, but they do not need all the stuff I have to use.

[@artprof]

Well, in that case, that means I’m a fraud! I cannot live without reference photos -Prof Lieu

[@autumngrace8541]

A.I. is the real imposter!

TRUE OMG - Mia, Art Prof Staff
