I like big cats. Jungle cats 🐆🐅🌴I really just love animals a ton but I’m definitely drawn to big cats. I have tigers and cheetahs sprinkled around the house from jars, to pillows, to mugs (and I’m the sucker who bought this cold brew coffee because of the leopard logo lol)
When I see the big cat artwork of others, I’m so inspired and in awe. I think it’s the bees knees and why haven’t I created my own?
And honestly, I was worried - what if I don’t like my OWN art? What if I can’t make something nearly as brilliant and cool? I’ve had to stop these thoughts and reframe -
What if I just make something and see how it goes? I can always keep making cheetah art. Why stop at one? Keep practicing, keep trying different styles, keep creating until something feels right. And then the other thought reframe I’ve told myself recently is this -
✨Let the artwork unveil itself✨
I know there’s a ton of cheetah art out there and mine is not really an original concept of a cheetah sitting with its tail swishing upwards. But what is my version anyways? I can’t possibly know exactly how my art will turn out so why not try and see?
My advice:
✨Be curious about what you’re going to make✨💕
How cool will your version of this idea be? Let it take form and again - you can just keep creating, right? Imperfection is okay. Not liking it right away is okay too. How do writer’s work? With drafts that are edited and rewritten and tweaked over and over again. Why not give yourself space to create and refine and let your art surprise you 😊🤍
