It's a very good journey to not let the creation of your art stand in the way of the story unfolding. I'm glad to hear you have come to the realisation that makes you more able to focus on things of that are most important. You make a very important point with contemplating whether the details that the perfectionist tend to, like an overthinker renumerate endlessly with no real progress really are essential. Efficiency is not only a time subject, but also an optimisation of your art style that conveys what you want to express most efficiently. And I'd imagine that is also the progress you have, where the expression comes first, then the "fleshing" out. While looking at other artists can be a good inspiration and a great learning curve, I, personally think it is a good idea to not constantly compare yourself with others. It's your story, your art, and the more it is you, the more other artists will look at yours and think to themselves, "Oh, that is actually really cool, I love that line". Having said that, it is important that this will not be the operator for you. We can never satisfy everyone, but we will always satisfy someone. Lastly, now also apply the same liberation to your story telling, else you have just moved your perfectionism from the art creation to the story telling, and we wouldn't want that, now would we, ha :). Great video, Aeryma.
@janniknielsen9292 yeah of course the views in the video can overflow into the story and many other aspects of creation. Its important to make the work our own, and not compare, but I do think becoming inspired by others can be a great motivator. For some it could be a hinderence. So I suppose it's based on personal judgement
Great video ! I agree with the perfection mindset. It’s soo overwhelming sometimes that it’s almost impossible to get over. But it’s worth fighting through it since we love art so much
Perfectionism in art is toxic for illustrators and cartoonists! It's partly why I missed the Dark Age of comics as a cartoonist because I was still learning art in college!
@darlalathan6143 it's interesting to think about the innocent times where we just drew for fun, before we started getting more deep into self doubt and fear. The beginning stages of learning something are usually always the most forgiving and carefree
Here’s me pretending like I know anything about anything for 11mins (at a snails pace, sorry I talk slow) If you want some helpful psych advice, I'd suggest watching Dr. K/HealthyGamerGG videos c: Just to build on the video, I realise I only addressed the Art, but this applies to writing too, or basically anything really P.S. I’m still battling a perfectionistic mindset, if you can’t tell lol, but I have improved a bit. Baby steps!
The first step is to realise. Second step is to implement your realisation. Third step is to realise your current creation will not be your first, nor the last. I'd say you know plenty, and you are in the process of bringing it all together, all the years of experimentation is coming to fruition and you are finding you and enjoy what you find. I am happy for you, Aeryma, and for sharing it with everyone else to they can learn and/or be aided.
@moritakaishida7963 If you listen to the whole video I don't imply that at all lol. I do allude to it at the start for emphasis on our art needing to be perfect, to go along with the whole game/gacha statement though- 'max stats/lvl capped/pay for win'. Mainly to say we're all human and to treat expectation realistically
sketchy art... more expressive, raw, and achievable... so tru qwq

@Willyoart thank you! You're definitely right, the road to overcoming that mindset is tough, but we can do it! 💪
Wow, I found this while I was drawing a comic, thanks 👍
I hope it was useful! c:

Why are you implying your art can only look good if your rich
