creating good stuff is painful in the beginning, not unlike learning how to do stunts on a skateboard, though usually you won't break any bones, but maybe you will feel so utterly despondent about your hand-eye-coordination

i am better at other things but i spent a lot of time doing visual art and my one piece of advice is stop thinking about representation, and either do drills (my mother had a great book that explains some, negative space is a big part of it, drawing NOT the thing) or just enjoy letting the instrument flow around the page and make of it whatever, doesn't matter if it looks like some weird modernist art industrial plastic texture design

I really don't fret too much over it. Sometimes it flows, others not. Once the commitment to the idea is there, it's just attempt after attempt until something satisfactory emerges.
