Hello every one! I hope all is good.
Recently, I've come to the realization that I am not using all of my artistic potential.
It's been so long since I started to feel like I "lost my passion" for doing art: I used to be a very creative kid who loved to draw, create characters and all type of stuff one can imagine but growing up I've been shunned by unsupportive teachers and environment who made me abandon this passion and skill of mine. I still feel the affinity with art and I still perceive my talent, I still think of me as a creative persona but I'm stuck in my head.
I really want to change this as I still feel the flame trying to stay alive: sometimes I get random spurs of motivation and I managed to draw/paint/write something but it quickly dies out and send me into the sad spiral again.
I always get so many ideas, so many cool projects I want to do (even for others, I'm planning to create some handmade gifts for a friend of mine), so many nice drawings ideas but I can never seem to get them out of my head, to bring them into reality and at this point, I don't know if it's motivation or something else.
I feel my creativity is blocked inside myself and I can't get it out of my head, I can't bring them to reality even if I'd really like to do so, to share more. I don't care of becoming the best artist of the world, I just want to let things run free in the real world too, not just my imagination, and stop feeling like shit, like a stupid and ugly person who's just "wasting her potential".
I still dream of making my own illustrated books for kids, I don't want to throw this dream away...
