Do you end up having piles of crumpled paper when you draw? Do you judge your work too harshly?
What we don’t know is that what seems ugly and imperfect to us is a masterpiece to others. And that’s what the book Ish by Peter H. Reynolds wants to convey.
If what you’re making is far from what you’ve imagined it to be, let it go. Don’t be too hard on yourself because someone out there will see the beauty in your artwork that you don’t normally see.
When you let go, have fun, and make something ugly, sometimes you end up making a beautiful mess.
Remember, perfection isn’t the definition of beauty.
So feel free to share your artwork, and let others see that beautiful mess you’ve created. (Drop your links in the comments, I’d love to see them!)
