Dear akali:

My suggestion is  that you accept the possibility that maybe you will fail, maybe you will not pass, that your art may be  not good enough to  pass. It is better to come to peace with something we fear, whenever possible.

Let’s say everyone around  you says to you: your art is great!  Or if you only practiced more, you will be a great artist, or believe in yourself and you will become a valued artist, that is nice  to hear maybe at this or that moment, sometimes, but these encouragements also increase the fear long term. Because these  encouragements don’t silence the self doubt, and when you get a poor grade, those self doubts become so much stronger.

So better hear a less encouraging  message: maybe your art will become  very good maybe  it will just improve, maybe it will not be good enough, maybe you don’t have  it  in you.

Maybe you do, but maybe you don’t. Have some  peace about it, relax, draw, focus on your drawing, pay  attention to what you do, the drawing itself, the art itself, removed from your own grading  of your work.

Do this for a few days, see how it feels and post again with an update, if you would like.
