In this concise advice segment, Ryan Maloney contrasts two mental approaches to learning Procreate and drawing: the "trying" mindset, which involves dabbling, comparing oneself to others, and fearing criticism, versus the "confident" mindset, which embraces boldness, shares work publicly regardless of response, and repeats this process over years. He argues that sustained confidence and public sharing transform an artist from feeling inadequate to becoming an exceptionally skilled drawer and, more importantly, an effective visual communicator who can convey intended messages through art.

Chapters

When you're learning Procreate, learning how to draw, or learning to get better at drawing, you need to have the trying mindset, but then the confident mindset. Trying mindset is, I'm gonna dabble, then you're gonna start comparing yourself to other people. That's gonna make you feel like you're an inadequate drawer, you're not good enough, and if you share this to the world, people will laugh at it, say it's pretty bad, or there will be crickets. So, I'd recommend just being totally confident with it, putting it out there, letting the world respond to it or not respond to it, and just keep doing that over and over and over for years, and you'll look back and you will be an insanely good drawer, but mostly an insanely good communicator, someone who can get the that you want to get from your drawings.
