For me personally, it's a coping mechanism and simultaneously something in the back of my mind that makes me wanna give up. I'm starting to grow out of that denial at least.

>Denying talent is a coping mechanism. But using the excuse of not being talented is also just another way to give up responsibility.
Kinda accurate, but when I'm not practising, it's not only that I'm being lazy (well, also that) but also me just losing motivation when I get stuck in a doomer ngmi mindset.
I've been trying to change things up and to engage with other types of art and not just drawing with pencil on paper and I think it really helps me with staying motivated. Like combining my art with my writing, painting with other digital and traditional media, sculpting and animating, things like that. Maybe I can collaborate with someone cool and we can complete each other's creative visions... But even if that doesn't work out, I'll keep drawing and making art.
ONE is genuinely inspiring to me. Talent isn't everything and even if it was, there's more than one kind of talent. I'll keep working on my writing too. I believe that working hard is also a talent.
