Then because of school taking all my time.
Then because I was hanging out with my friends.
These excuses kept my ego safe, but nothing was actually stopping me. I just wasn't working.

AI can generate pretty images in seconds, but it can’t fake five years of learning and showing up.
If you’re at the beginning, that’s perfect. Start now. Post your:
- Studies
- Messy sketches
- Pieces you're not proud of
If I could go back, this is where I’d start.

If you’re struggling to get into that loop, do this:
- Identify the real reason in one sentence
- Pinpoint the exact moment it shows up
- Pick one tiny action to remedy it
- Do it for 7 days
- Keep it or change it
Example: Studies feel pointless → Share each one to help others
- Identify the real reason in one sentence
- Pinpoint the exact moment it shows up
- Pick one tiny action to remedy it
- Do it for 7 days
- Keep it or change it
Example: Studies feel pointless → Share each one to help others
Draw → get better → enjoy it more → draw more.
That's the circle. Great artists just got in and never left.
