Why Did I Always Stop Here? Breaking Self-Imposed Limitations ✏️🧡 🎨 (Sketchbook & Studies)

Simple. I felt I would be cheating art or disrespecting traditional art at the very least. It might sound silly, but for a LONG time I thought that a sketch cannot go beyond the boundaries of paper. Or that they belonged there are shouldn’t be mixed with digital media. Lately, I have realised that art can truly be anything! Who was making these rules? And why was I following them blindly? Isn’t the creator/artist supposed to decide how it ends up looking?

I feel a sense of expansion when I see that paper is after all a medium and whatever I do on it, doesn’t necessarily have to be the final thing! It can exceed beyond and end even be completely altered later on...And that I don’t need to feel guilty about it. The possibilities of enhancing a traditional media digitally are just infinite and that excites me. Tbh, it has been the only thing that has excited my in my art lately :)
