@owashii@plush.city thanks! I mean by definition every artist’s stuff looks better from the outside than from the artist’s POV, at least as far as I understand; but now I know how and when I was told I was no good/that others were better at it, built right off a batch of bad childhood experiences and sits squarely in my RSD.
So getting past that is more involved than just “I draw okay, and that does count.” Or at least it feels more involved?
