I had a bit of natural talent when I was younger (8th grade and earlier) and now I'm in high school, and want to draw again because I've always recognized myself as an artist. The problem is, I feel like everything I draw has to be good, and I can't ever live up to the things I used to draw because I lost my natural talent and am now overthinking it. I want to be an artist, and want to be recognized as that by others so much, that I can't even draw (I know that doesnt make sense!) How can I overcome this? Specific ideas? I used to take a class but the session ended and I didn't renew it because I felt like I can't do anything. I feel since I quit drawing that I lost a part of myself because I always identified myself as an "artist" even though I didn't even draw that much.
I'm now afraid to draw?
