Whether you’ve been making art for many years or just started, confidence is something that most artists struggle with. There are many factors that can affect your confidence, but the biggest culprit for artists is the negative connotation the profession has.
For years people have thought that artists are outcasts of society who have to be martyrs for their work and sacrifice financial stability.
