This is actually why I share my not-at-all-professional artistic efforts:
To show myself it's okay to be a learner and to be at peace with it (and, as a side benefit, maybe helping another beginner by counteracting the ultra curated "sketchbooks" that are all over social media)

I also loved a recent trend where people showed a piece of their art from five years ago next to a piece from this year- a clear visual example of the benefits of practice. So encouraging ❤️
