>>80027378Of course you're going to make garbage. Every famous artist or writer that you have ever followed has their own garbage phase. Some of them probably still think it's the case.
The goal of any creator is to create something. Anything. Aim to make one part of it less shitty than the last time. Break it down to the basest points and study the garbage. If you suck at drawing the human body, figure out what parts you suck at. If it's everything, break that down. Break down your failures to the very iota. "Oh, this face sucks because the way the eyes are positioned aren't very good" means you learn how the face is proportioned. You can't just assume "Oh, I suck at the human body. I guess I need to improve on drawing the human body" is going to help you, because it isn't. You break it down.
If you suck at writing characters, figure out what points you suck at. If it's something like drama or comedy, find an author of a dramatic/comedic work that you admire and try to dissect it. If you're a writer and you aren't trying to learn from other works, then you are not going to go very far. Study how others did it and try to understand their process.
The only way to move along is to learn. Learn every single time. If you think you're garbage and you create something and think "I don't think I learned anything from this", then strive to improve something in your next work.
And you're going to continue to make garbage. Hell, learning is going to cause you to make so much more garbage than before, as you become frustrated by trying to learn "the right way". You will live in a landfill of your garbage. But every step through garbage is one step towards a peak, a slope, a mattress you can hop on, and finally the exit. Everyone can find that exit and create something for themselves.
Just do it.
