In the
past, I could only admire other artists’ caricatures and artworks. They looked
so cool yet daunting to create. I’d never believe I could ever create them.
Now, I
believe anyone could also do it.
One
just have to believe in own-self and practise, practise, practise. Believing is
just the starting point. Time and efforts must be put into practice. Belief
without actual work done is just dreaming!
Of course, to be good at whatever you do, you need something extra! 😊
In the past, I was afraid to show my art and
craft openly as they were often below the quality standard I had wanted. I was
very afraid to receive negative feedback and criticism.
Now, I care less and try not to think so much on what others would say. These are none of my business. What others actually buy from me is my main business.
In the past, I believed art could sell. After
all, so many artists had made it big and were making big bucks.
Now I believe not all art could sell.
Many artworks exist because artists want to
feel good and to entertain others and to make people laugh. This explains why
many artists always feel hungry.
In the past, I could easily twist and turn.
I mean my body, not words. Now, no more can.
My arm cannot swing backwards to scratch my
back below my neck.
My elbow cannot touch my nose.
My toe cannot touch my ears.
Aging is a real black hole. Nobody can ever
escape from it. ☹
