Art block.

Lack of vision.

Frustration.

Depression.

Artistic doubt.

My pencil tip rests on a black piece of paper.

Whenever I'm ready to draw, I get art block.

When I try to force myself to draw, what I see on paper doesn't match what I saw in my head.

When I try and fail, I start to get frustrated.

When I find my hands clenched to my paper in a death grip, I start to feel depressed.

When I get depressed, I doubt if I'm an artist at all.

.. I can't create.

I'm not good enough.

Its the same thing over and over again.

Can't be as good as the next artist.

Why bother trying...

My pencil is broken.

I can no longer use it.

I see myself in it.

I feel like I'm in pieces...

My friend offers me his.

"You are a one of a kind artist.

Never doubt yourself.

Draw what comes out, even if it's just a line or scribble.

Even a scribble can be a unique work of art.

Draw with confidence.

Never give up."

I drew a scribble.

I see something in that scribble.

I add more.

I start to feel confident.

What once was a blank page is now a work of art.
