Non-OC question, I know everyone says they get art block, but I feel like I'm barely an artist at all. What I draw best is 3/4th portraits and even then they're never evenly on the page, formatted well on the page (usually tilted a bit far to the left or right) and drawing tiny details has always been hard because my hands have a minor tremble. Do you have any advice for someone who wants to make worlds come alive like you, but finds themselves frustratingly discouraged?
Honestly the key is just to keep trying no matter how garbage it looks. I've cried over the way my art looks off and on for years as I've worked at it, I've gone through periods of hating it or resenting that I can't quite do what I envision. It is really rough, BUT the more you play around with it, the more repetition and experimentation? You get results. They are not always what you want, but save your old work and compare. You'll see leagues of improvement.
Don't let yourself be discouraged. Even at your worst, even at your most frustrated and hopeless, remember that if you never try, if you don't make hot garbage you won't get to the point you want to be in. That point will move as you improve and grow. As for the tremor in your hands, there are stabilizers for digital work and I'd look up some methods others with trembling hands use.
It can be rough but you can do it! Use spite if you have to! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
