>A common thread throughout all of them, apart from their near universal ignorance of how they draw or learnt to draw, is a positive, and open state of mind, approach to life/art.
Judging artists through learning material, which is constructed to be both extremely audience friendly to everyone and to inspire hope on normies is seeing things through a very twisted lens. It's like trying to reach an ontological ground of reality from youtube videos like pregnant elsa gives birth to poopy spiderman.

Granted, self doubt its the greatest poison you can induce on yourself, If you are extremely certain that you will never ever make it you will never even truly try on the first place. Artists tackle these two by either lying to themselves enough until it becomes a reality or through sheer unbridled autism that makes them unaware of the concept of making so they never second guess themselves and focus all the time in drawing their waifus, fursonas, portraying their fantasy autismo worlds or drawing the same thing over and over ad nauseam. There is a middle ground between these two and are people which constantly foster negative emotions because they are aware of the concept of success/failure and unable to give their visions justice due to their lack of skill, so negative feelings are normal. As a closing remark artists are usually ignorant on how they learn because being aware of this process and deconstructing it properly to other people is an extremely complicated process that takes a lot of intelligence, artists are often the biggest brainlets you will ever see, the good thing about this fact is that both you and me can make it as long as you put the autismo hours into it on the regular and having a faint doubt that you might very well make it.

What are beliefs/mentality that held you back as a artist?
