Fear

Artistic procrastination is something that I am very familiar with and I think a lot of it has to do with fear. I often find myself coming up with grandiose ideas, but these ideas never manifest themselves. This mostly has to do with perfectionism and the fear of messing up a canvas or whatever surface I'm working on. This is probably true with most artists, not just me. The antidote to perfectionism is the realization that it is human nature to mess up. Making mistakes is what allows us to grow not only as artists but as people.
