>>3698739>how can that be believable when clearly nobody actually thinks like thisI've seen countless people driven off from /ic/ who do think like this, the irony being, I think desu a large portion of the crab bucket type here could use a dose of it. It's good to remember /ic/ can be a bombastic stilted place.
as for what
>>3698798said, you could set out to make a mistake, or maybe try humor? If you can detach from your art long enough to make a "goof" I think it's a good indicator of your relationship with it. And I don't mean a needling, passive aggressive schadenfreude type of humor either, as that's still the wrong focus, and includes (you) in it. The focus should be defocusing from your own focus? If that makes sense.
I think the whole premise of what you're asking though is really a lifelong process. Especially the being detatched from the self(in a knowledgeable, good way) and the being able to appreciate yourself before/without egotistical "proof" so to speak, ie being a good artist. The proof will accomplish nothing, it's just a crutch that will fail you at times. Which is why I think learning to enjoy the process, and yourself/life, is the key.
