This is important: I know you want to do a “masterpiece,” and you’ve been influenced lately by the Norman Rockwell version of a “masterpiece,” and that you’ll be influenced by somebody else in the future, but ultimately, your path lies through the land of illustration, comics, commercial art, and children’s books. You mustn’t get depressed and out-of-sorts because you’re not living up to some other ideal. I know you’re a little upset at the initial phase of this first work you’ve started for the new year, but, believe me, it can work and it will work. Anything can work. Be true to this vision of your work. It will be OK.
Next, you've got to find the resolve to stop wasting so much time looking at stuff online and searching for something worth watching online. Listen to CDs or the MP3 player or nothing at all. You're wasting too much time and getting your thoughts in a muddle.
The above painting is from my old blog, https://artistlanceash.blogspot.com/
I have no idea what the title is or how old it is. I put it here as some kind of statement.
