I’m always very confused when I read drawing advice. In one breath it says “draw what you love! Have fun, bring the passion!” and in the next it says “don’t do a passion project to start” so which is it?

I mean I can see arguments for both. Doing what you love helps keep you going because you love it but also it is hard to let go, easier to be perfectionist and any criticism will go to heart more as care more.

So I don’t know.

My want does exceed my ability by a huge margin but how will I ever close the gap if I never start? This dilemma is a big part of why I haven’t started as I don’t know what to commit to doing.
