The article above contains a personal story and dialogue of experiences from an artist that has been creating one digital artwork every day for the past five years. I found this perseverance of creation to be amazing and it was very motivational to read through what the artist learned from the entire process.
The section on ‘Overcoming Perfectionism’ was the most eye-opening. I feel like coding art gives people more pressure to make something “perfect” because of its mechanical aspect, but this article touches upon the idea of perfectionism and how that holds back many artists from creating and sharing their works. “Achieving small goals that are out of your comfort zone makes you want to achieve even more and bigger goals.” I feel like there is a lot to learn from this article in terms of what it takes to be a good artist.

I liked that the article included “You should not let your past experience lessen your desire to learn.” This was a cool outlook on how to approach the arts.
