So, try to keep your ability in perspective.

You don’t know how many pages they tore out or how many hours they spent watching tutorials on Youtube. You don’t know how long they struggled to draw that one flower or how frustrated they got. Stop comparing your Chapter 1 to someone else’s Chapter 15.įrom Instagram or Pinterest, you can’t see into someone’s past. Something that almost all of my students remember from the confidence lesson of Rock Your Journal is this:

to someone we think is better than us, we are ultimately degrading ourselves. When we allow ourselves to compare our work, body, skill level, etc.

I get messages on Instagram almost daily with people asking me how I doodle and telling me how they can’t. And I want to be like the guy in Twilight, touch the person’s hand and allow them to see into my past. And over time, I have learned a few techniques that help you doodle better.
