創作人最常面臨的問題是對自己不夠有自信,不論是怕太招搖惹人厭,或是真心認為自己的作品不夠好,許多人會用負面的言語評價自己的作品。網路漫畫家柯琳·巴特絲Colleen Butters 認為這種貶損自己的行為反而會阻礙進步,且會給人帶來負面觀感。於是她創作了這篇漫畫,希望所有創作人都能明白,真正重要的是要對自己有信心!
I’ve received a lot of letters from artists asking to check out their artwork and their blog, and I’ve noticed that a lot of them openly write unhealthy amounts of negative comments about their artwork, it was super depressing, honestly. 🙁 Confidence plays a very very important role as an artist, it’s what helps us learn and grow without the constant feeling of doubt and jealousy! You are a unique individual who must go down your own unique path, and as scary as it sounds, you can’t rely on others to hold your hand all the way through. You are the only one who can get yourself to where you need to go, and beating up your artwork is not the way! Trust yourself and your abilities to make a change, and you can do anything!!
Love your art, love yourself! –Colleen Butters
我收到很多創作人的來信,希望我能看看他們的作品和部落格。我發現許多人用誇張多的負面言語公開評論自己的作品,老實說,這非常讓人沮喪 🙁 自信在創作者的創作生涯中扮演非常重要的角色。自信能幫助我們學習成長,而不是成天懷疑自己和妒忌別人。你是獨立的個體,有著獨一無二的人生道路。你不能 依賴別人拉著你的手走完全程,聽起來很可怕,但這是事實。只有你能帶領自己到達想要的地方,可絕對不是靠貶低自己的作品來達成。相信自己,相信你有能力改 變,沒有什麼是你完成不了的!!
愛作品,愛自己! –柯琳·巴特絲
