Your taste often develops before your technical skill does. The frustrating stage where you can clearly see that your work isn’t quite matching what you imagined can actually be a sign of growth for artists Your eye has improved enough to recognize stronger composition, color, anatomy, movement, storytelling, or design even if your hands haven’t fully caught up yet. That gap can feel discouraging, but it also gives you direction. You’re starting to understand what you want your work to become. Keep making things. Eventually your skills begin catching up to your taste…and then your taste moves forward again. That cycle is a big (annoying) part of becoming a better artist. . . . #artistsoftiktok #artistproblems #artproblems #illustrator #illustration
