Detail shot of today’s #dailydoodle. Some days the doodle evolves into something that really pleases me. Other days, not so much.
That’s how it goes. The important thing is to just keep at it.
Not everything you create will be a winner. You have to give yourself permission to create crap, though–otherwise you’ll never create a thing.
Permission for your work to be ugly, bad, crappy, etc. takes the pressure off, so you actually START. And the stuff you label as “crap” brought you one step closer to the stuff you will label as “good.” Nobody likes making crap, but you NEED the crap, because that’s what fertilizes the good stuff!! Besides, just because you allow yourself to create crap doesn’t mean you will. It just means you’ll CREATE!
Plus you never know how your work will touch someone else.
That painting you think is crap? It could be exactly what someone else needed to see today.
Your “crap” could be someone else’s treasure, and who’s to say that your opinion that your work is crap is more valid than someone else’s opinion that it’s beautiful?
