Namjoon, patron saint of public speaking
Seokjin, patron saint of winning
Yoongi, patron saint of overwork
Hobi, patron saint of perfectionism
Jimin, patron saint of beauty and tummy troubles
Taehyung, patron saint of the bacchanal
Jungkook, patron saint of children, puppies, and artists
Just realised I'm praying to my Tannie like he's a patron saint
Jiminie come hug me better, I have tummy trouble 😭😭

perfectionism is a habit i slip back into without even realizing it, until drawing becomes tiring and daunting because I'm trying to meet a "standard" that I owe absolutely no one

lately I've been trying to combat that, again!

I'm trying to reach flow-state, but I think my perfectionism is fucking me over 💀

Gonna breathe, count to 100, then just write whatever comes to mind

This. Drawing analogue ink is the fastest way you can improve.

Incorporate the failures and errors as part of your style, or learn to stop making them.

Become comfortable with failure.

Perfectionism is the enemy of learning.
UNDO is bad.

I used to be pretty passive about this but "undo" is not only a crutch but becomes a disease on your art. It "undoes" your ability to earn mark making skills and stunts drawing momentum.

A lot of artists would be satisfied with first result.
Not you apparently 😅
Yay for perfectionism 😅

Perfectionism is a curse.

Codependency: Trying to control others so you feel safer

People-pleasing: Trying to control others’ happiness to avoid potential rejection or abandonment

Perfectionism: Trying to control yourself in order to earn love

Me vs my perfectionism

November 7, 2026 at 6:16 PM

This is so true. Your job is to finish the project on time (and maintain your sanity); you're no good to any client if your vague sense of perfectionism keeps you from those things.
Idk what comic book artist needs to hear this right now, but…

Some pages will not be as strong as others.

It’s ok. Let it go.

Mental Health and Perfectionism are closely linked. When you have a stumble, you want to get back to a frame of mind that feels just right. But there's no such thing as perfect. Not for a human. Just good days and bad days.

I hate when perfectionism takes ahold of me a little too strongly, let me enjoy and like my work whether its good or bad 😤

The perfect body. The perfect clothes. The perfect lifestyle. The mould keeps shifting, yet we are expected to fit it. Perfectionism leaves little room to be ourselves, no space to breathe and no freedom to grow.

why yes, our perfectionism IS pathological, thank you for noticing

defeating perfectionism and accepting that my art doesn’t have to be finished and rendered in order to be posted and enjoyed is the hardest thing that i’ve ever done in regards to my art, but this fandom has genuinely helped with that a lot

Been stuck in a perfectionism/artblock/high expectations loop again during these last months, I'm trying to draw more loosely and ignore any errors/defaults I'm seeing on my art lol

There’s definitely a strain of perfectionism that ties together these albums.
