i drew(redrew) this ON THE DAY

Redrawing this piece after a whole year was both a fun and humbling experience. Using only my right index finger to draw added an extra layer of challenge that made me appreciate the artistic process more deeply. I’ve always believed that art is as much about the journey as it is about the final result. Even though I saw little improvement from my original drawing, it reminded me that practice and patience are key. Many self-taught artists, including myself, often experience this frustration where progress feels slow or unseen. But what keeps us going is the joy and personal satisfaction we get from creating something unique. Drawing with a finger instead of traditional tools like pencils or styluses gave me a fresh perspective on control and precision, encouraging me to focus on broad shapes and expressions rather than fine details. If you’re also experimenting with alternative drawing methods or evaluating your past work, remember that every attempt, good or bad, contributes to your growth. Don’t be afraid to revisit old art and add new elements or characters—it can reignite your creativity and help you see where you’ve improved. Sharing your artwork with supportive communities, like those dedicated to cute or quirky themes (#KittiesSillies, #reallybaddraw, #drewitmyself🕺), provides encouragement and a platform to track your progress. Ultimately, art is personal and subjective. What might seem "bad" to you may be charming and relatable to others. So keep drawing, keep sharing, and most importantly, enjoy the process regardless of perceived flaws.
