Stop thinking: “I’m not talented enough to execute this concept.”
Start thinking: “I’m going to be a stronger artist when I’ve finished this piece.”

This is a fixed mindset vs. a growth mindset.

Your abilities are not static, and any challenges you have, anything that turns out different from how you imagined, is not evidence of failure, just a struggle towards improvement.

If an artist draws something for someone at no cost, that person is either very special to them, or it was a personal choice and a mutual agreement between the artist and the recipient.
Artists who make a living by their art do not deserve harassment from people who feel entitled to free art.
Why is this so hard for people to understand.

The intended horizontal format is here. It’s got some flow that way. Reformatting for tumblr turned out to be a bit awkward.

If anyone’s interested, I’ll add some notes to this post about the dances, art styles and fashions depicted here. 

(The 60s are doubled up because they changed so much from one end to the other and I couldn’t decide what to focus on.)
