There is a strange pattern I've noticed when I create a piece, whether it's a painting, bracelet or sewing project I can't help but feel lacking. Now don't get me wrong I love what I make and I uphold a certain level of pride for what I make, yet it's never good enough which is a good and bad thing at the same time. Because on one hand that negative emotion pushes me to improve and get better. But on the other hand that negative feeling makes discouraged and reluctant to create.
Thoughts of doubt such as will I be ever good enough? will I ever be satisfied with my work and feel fully proud of what I do? The answer is no because as an artist the force that pushes us further is our need for perfection that we'll unfortunately never reach.
Such a sad fate, being able to see the beauty in everything yet never fully appreciating said beauty.

i think it's less that one day you will feel good enough, but one day you will be at peace with the ambition to improve and not associate it with negative thoughts.

I think at the very least, while you may never be satisfied with your own work, the fact that you continue create through those negative feelings is impressive. And also since you're creating these pieces, you'll get better and more skilled, and then you can look back at your older pieces and see what you can add or change now that you know better.
But as a fellow artist, I rlly understand what ur saying.
True we really don't realize how far we've come

Fate is a Fate after all. But worry not, whatever you draw, it will always remind you of the hard work to do. You can always draw what or how you do. Everything improves by the time.
Don't worry and don't overthink that much. Whatever you do, me or others will love it! Even if you don't believe on it.
Don't give up. Move forward!
That's very encouraging thank you for such sweet words
