Artist to Artist Call! You are in a creative field and your drawing sucks. Is it only me or anyone else can feel it as well. I am a 5th semester animation student and sometimes i am ashamed to admit that even my basics of drawing are not good. In the foundation year we got to experience so many different things such as perspective drawings, live sketches, painting, charcol drawing and out of which i only found painting interesting. Then comes the era of AI and we switched to it for reference and i would admit it here that it made my digital drawing better but hand drawn sucks for me.
But I try to gaslight myself by saying that there are so many artists wwho are not good at drawing and still doing wonders and being and artist it is not only limited to how good you can draw.

You're definitely not alone in this! Imposter syndrome hits almost every creative. Great ideas, storytelling, and digital tools matter just as much as raw sketching skills. Don't be too hard on yourself, practice turns it around naturally!
