Never stop practising art and let your fear go

As a self taught artist of course my journey is not easy on this art career or path. I try every day and attempt my best to make art each day. Being canvas, paper to making graphics/ digital art. Many galleries do refuse my work as I have a bad habit mostly to not see what current market trends are and what are the niches going around internet. This attitude doesn’t make me popular or making my art sell. Definitely I cry sometimes when I get rejected from Graphic jobs and get rejection on my surface pattern design with rejections from art gallery show. It hurts and sucks.

But with all this rollercoaster ride, I still have faith on my art style, practise and my nature of keep making, learning and exploring art. So, what? One day people will know how my drawing, paintings, styles are different from others and also not copied. I try to not copy others style or art but get inspired and take little ideas from them.

May be trying, experimenting and making something from within you and your own take little more time to make people understand with higher selling and becoming famous. But what is my Moto then? Sharing and making what I feel like to or what others like. When I ask this question my self I seriously don’t doubt myself. So, clear answer from within don’t fear and keep practising and making your art.

I do believe that even little to very little drawings or paintings we should share with people through social media and wherever you can. Expecting from them hurts you, no expectation just share. The more you make art towards making art from within less people will like your work. Only masters will understand how your strong strokes are and how smooth your strokes flow. How free you are from all blocks, fear from making your art.

With this all above emotions my personal experience teaches me for an Arti practice matters a lot. If no practice you don’t have any right to cry. An Artist tip, always carry little book or journal with you for practicing art. I don’t draw everyday human figures and portraits obvious. I draw and practice what I feel like to.
Summary is never stop practising art and let your fear go.
