Art is the art of self expression

About art, or my view on it is that it isn't about being "good" at it, it's about self-expression. What you produce is what you are and how you see things. E.g. if you can't draw, it doesn't matter, it's self-explanatory through your art. To put it bluntly: if you are trying to express something graphically, it tells that whatever you are trying to tell is important to you, you are just shitty expressing it.

But like walking, talking, thinking, archery, swimming, using chopsticks, climbing, painting: you'll get better by doing it, you'll get better at expressing yourself graphically the more you draw. In time you'll learn to avoid excessive and unnecessary strokes.

If you're a boxer, the only way you'll get relaxed enough is through practice, you'll learn to use ONLY the muscles needed to throw a punch. Same goes for anything else, by doing it over and over again, you'll learn to do only what is needed and letting go of the rest, thus achieving energy efficiency or elegance, grace, fluidity in the movement/action etc. Doing it relaxed = doing it enjoyably = doing it as yourself. If you're shitty, accept it, because that's what you are, continue anyway, enjoy it. Art is about your take on a subject as yourself, it isn't competition of skill.

Actually to think of it life itself is art, do it your way. It's like a canvas: you decide what and how much of it is on it. Whatever is on it, explains itself by being there, no need for further explanation (this is why I hate art critics.. there is no meaning behind the painting, the painting IS the meaning, it's all there like the way it should be and everyone can see it) And when you run out of the "canvas of life", the piece is ready; it's complete = death will buy it lol..

Tl;dr: whatever you do, do it as yourself i.e. enjoy it as much as you can, if you can't enjoy it, don't do it.
