If your struggling with being worried about ‘ugly art’ in your main sketchbook I’d recommend what I call a ‘Crap book’
Having a smaller sketchbook where you can get out quick doodles/thumbnails along with you regular sketchbook. I’ve found it really helpful for getting my hand moving and not worrying about the quality!

This may not make much sense, but allowing myself to create ugly art has resulted in me creating a lot of my best pieces.
You'd be surprised how much shame and self-consciousness can get in the way of creating a good piece. Either because the stress and frustration disrupts your flow or because you threw away a potentially amazing drawing that was either completely fixable or was simply ugly because it was not yet complete. Some of my favorite drawings in my sketchbook right now had some really ugly moments while I was working on it. Almost gave up on them a few times. But I told myself "it doesnt matter if it's ugly" and pushed through, only for the final piece to be beautiful. Sure, I have a few pieces that stayed ugly, but that's just a natural part of growing as an artist.

Do y’all guys just stop drawing for a long time and don’t even bother to study but then there’s suddenly that ONE day you get the urge to create and everything you do gets surprisingly pretty and it feels like your art skills just leveled up out of nowhere and now you draw a little better and your confidence as an artist raised a bit but that day never repeat until it does…!!! *dies from not breathing*

Brilliant video!! I think it’s important to reemphasize the importance of your statement on posting “ugly art”. I would strongly encourage posting it. There’s something freeing about showing off something you’ve been really vulnerable in the creation of, and just, stepping back and allowing it to be in the limelight. It builds so much confidence in what you do, as it strips away the anxiety you’d have making the art in the first place. It deserves to exist and exist OUT THERE because YOU made it. Not because it looks good, or could make you look good, but because it shows off you and your journey as an artist, and holds no shame about it, which is EXACTLY what every artist needs. Shame is what I think holds back a lot of our greatest potentials.

One thing I like to do every once and a while, especially if I'm feeling like my art isn't great, is to just take a piece of paper and draw something with the fullest intent to throw the paper away when I’m done. If I’m not going to keep the paper then what does it matter if it looks good or not. Because of this I drew some of the best anatomy I had ever drawn at the time.
(Oh yeah, I love the SpongeBob references)

"Stop being your own worst critic, and start being your own worst hypeman" i just got inspired so much from this quote alone i am going to make god himself fear what he has given me the ability to create
