      Artistic taste develops much faster than artistic skills. So there's always this massive gap between your current output and what you wish it were. As a result, many artists struggle with self-loathing. Arguably that's precisely what makes them good -- it's a drive to progress.

      I think the key to fast progress is a fine balance of total contempt for your current output, and high confidence in your ability to do better next time.

          The death of growth is to believe (always falsely) that you've "made it", that you've become an accomplished artist (or whatever else), or that you're almost there. The remedy is to hold yourself to an unbounded standard -- taste, vision.

          I would add that you have to enjoy the piece during the process, or else you won't make enough to progress. Also, relating to ability vs. perceived ability, in my experience this is true for art:https://twitter.com/JanelleCShane/status/977569703475343360 …

          Michael Berens added,

          chart of ability vs time. Skill at making art and skill at seeing or evaluating art both increase over time, but both have pauses that are out of phase with one another. result is that sometimes you think you're getting worse, but you're just getting better at seeing your own flaws.

          That's no fun. Have you seen/heard described a graph like this one? I find that it helps give me hope that the feeling is temporary. pic.twitter.com/7as4msibag
