I think I'm having a crisis when it comes to many aspects of my art style. I'm definitely inspired by lots and lots of absolutely amazing artists on FA, but I struggle quite a bit with being appreciative of my own art. Sometimes I have days when I see all the great artwork on the internet, and think to myself "Ah! One day I will be able to do something like that as well!", and then I have days when I look at same exact artwork and think all the bad and toxic things towards myself regarding self criticism. Today I had one of those "not great" days.

Today I tried to let any of those thoughts go and relax for a bit. I didn't want to create anything big or spend hours on creating a piece, I just felt like doing what I felt like doing even if it meant not finishing a piece that I potentially could do some interesting light work with, or something I could be proud of for many days. Sometimes I just want to feel proud of the smallest pieces, where there's not much shadows, not much background, nothing extraordinary, or nothing that requires me sitting down for hours before I finish it. Today I tried to have one of those days of appreciating such pieces. I appreciate this one, because I love winter, and I think snow is one of the thigs that could cheer me up quite a bit! Where I live, it snows quite a lot in winter, so just a few months left before I could experience that joy again!
