Lately I have been trying to learn drawing stuff digitally and I have found a few things about myself. I can't complete any of the pieces I start. On the way, I get a lot of ideas and I execute some of them but somehow I'm avoiding perfection, completion or satisfaction of the job done.
One other thing is that I don't like to draw things from a reference, although human mind is kind of trained to look for images from memory if it's not in front of you but there's a catch to that method. Almost no one can guess all the time, where did you draw the connection, how did you come up with it, unless you tell them exactly what were you thinking when you made it. That's highly unlikely, I am not a fan of people in general so probability, for me to share that kind of information with anyone is just close to none.
If you draw anything from a reference like a photo or live model or whatever, people will know about it. They will think they are entitled to comment on it and that might defeat the purpose of creative expression at all.
I think nobody should be fixated on becoming famous and being praised in their life time. You can go after wealth and health, which makes more sense because you can use these things only while you are alive.
You can be famous for your style or thinking even after you are dead which eases the pressure, I think.
