Imposter Syndrome

Acrylics, watercolors, pens, and paint pen...⁣ 

This was a drawing of a girl that I wasn't too happy with initially, so I painted over it a bit with dark brown acrylic paint.

I've been thinking a bit about imposter syndrome and how it relates to art... All those feelings of artistic self doubt and not feeling confident about putting my work out there sometimes... ⁣ 

I get "shy" - even on the Internet, lol.

Sometimes I feel like my art should be "better" and more technically accurate rather than just stylized and cute.  I had traditional training in art school, but my current art doesn't really reflect that...

Then I realize I am overthinking it and should just make the art that makes me happy then maybe other people will enjoy it too!

Do you feel this way too sometimes? ⁣ ⁣ 

What are some of the things you do to combat these feelings of self doubt?

Hope your Monday is going well so far!!⁣
