Don't be afraid to make "bad" art

Wednesday, July 18, 2018




Sometimes, I get crippled by this urge to at least try to attain perfection in my work. I get so terrified of screwing up, I end up not starting anything at all or I abandon personal pieces midway. But mistakes can be crucial for growth, at times inevitable when practicing. But hey, that’s where learning comes in.

So here’s a late night doodle to console and remind myself that it’s okay to make and enjoy “bad” art once in a while.


I used a random gel pen lying around (as shown in the photo) and directly doodled on my sketchbook.

Used select colors from this marker set gifted by my partner last Christmas (thank you!)


Instead of perfection, I now try to aim for personal satisfaction in my works. Makes the whole process a little less draining and a lot more entertaining.

Thanks for reading. Hopefully, more soon.
