I totally agree with you Caisne. I used to wait for inspiration to hit because it seemed like that was the only time I enjoyed the outcome of my work. I finally just started to force myself to push through the 10000 hrs of practice and changed several things that held my creativity back. One way that helped me was to keep a journal on my phone and when something came to me I would just write it down and come back to it whenever I needed a little kick of inspiration. Another one that worked was making daily sketches. Sounds easy but when I'm in the middle of rendering an image I tend to just work on that and forget about all other areas I still need to work on. This gave me an outlet to mess around with different ideas while not harming my normal work flow.
Love when you said have fun the art. At times all I can see in my work are the areas that I need to improve especially when I compare it to everything else online. Like you said we are all our worst critics. But I also enjoyed when you mentioned make your own card game and compare it to only yourself.
Slowly I'm working on those areas but it just takes time. And each day I try and focus more on my art and remove as many distractions as possible. Thanks for the positives vibes ...
