Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

The first one is not respectable self-awareness. Being technically bad is not itself a reason not to do one's own art, and is the only way to become good.
it depends what the goal is. I know i can't make 2d art so i just don't try to make things that need 2d art. i don't need to go on some journey of trying to get good at some skill i have no aptitude for
Setting aside a few assumptions there, consider also that art can have purpose beyond being technically sound (art is defined first by expression, not skill), and if you really want "well-made" art that badly then just pay or barter with an artist instead of using the plagiarism machine.
"just"
or scope your project so that you can create within your means and ability.
