Unrealistic Expectations
”Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.”
Hello guys, let's talk about unrealistic expectations of art and some little art advice. it won’t take more time , come on let's move to our content!
You want to be a good artist. You practice a lot, you follow tutorials and watch videos, you analyze the art of others… but you don't seem to progress at all. You work so hard, and yet you can’t see the improvement you were hoping for. “Maybe it’s just not for me," you’re thinking, “maybe I’m wasting my time”. Practice longer guys! creating art is not a joke, it's about creativity and practice.
I believe there are other possible reasons. You may simply be making mistakes in your learning! Misconceptions, unproductive practice… Once you remove these obstacles, you’ll see yourself improve much faster. So what kind of obstacles may there be?
UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS:
Whenever we desire something, it’s based on a vision of satisfaction we’ll feel once we get it. When you’re looking at a great artwork, you imagine how amazing it would feel to draw something like this. That feeling is what you pursue when you start learning how to draw.
The problem is, you cannot satisfy this desire right away. You want the emotion of drawing an artwork that is based on highly developed artistic skills, and those can’t be achieved overnight. So you have a desire to be able to draw something great, here and now. That’s what you want. And what do you get instead, when you draw? A bad drawing. A proof of poor skills. The artwork of a child.
Because of this, every session of drawing inevitably leads to frustration. You want a certain feeling, and you get the opposite of it every time you try. You may know, consciously, that it takes time to learn, but it doesn’t stop you from feeling like a failure.
It always strikes me as odd that drawing is treated differently than other skills. When you sit at the piano for the first time, you don’t expect you’ll play like Mozart right away. When you sit behind the wheel for the first time, you don’t really dream of winning a race that day. When you want to cook something on your own for the first time, you don’t expect a restaurant-quality dish.
In all these cases, you expect failure. You know you’ll fail, and it doesn’t matter. You may even laugh when it happens, because beginner mistakes are often funny! Yet when you want to draw your first drawing, you take it completely seriously. You feel as if everyone expected good results from you on the first try. As if you were only allowed to draw if you were already good at it.
And still, drawing is a skill like everything else. You are bad on your first try, when you don’t know what you’re doing. You’re not much better on your second try, because you’re still getting a grasp of it. You’re getting a little better with every other try, but you still seem like a child in comparison to someone more experienced. And this is normal!
The desire to be good, to feel that amazing satisfaction of creating a perfect artwork, makes you impatient. You want the destination, but not the journey. And the slower the journey seems, the worse you feel—because that’s not what you wanted at all!
To become a good artist, you need to lower your expectations first. You need to learn how to think in a more productive way; to put less focus on your desire (the goal), and more on the process (the way).
Friends, don't fed up for first fall after all we have long way to go, don't show fear when your are afraid that the way of war and don't give up its not the end, Even if it is a end lets do it one more time!
that's the only way to make our unrealistic expectation into an obvious truth.
