Limiting beliefs can run rampant in your subconscious mind, and these beliefs can slow you down or stop you from pursuing your creative projects.

They put a hurdle in the way of believing that your dreams are not only possible but inevitable.

If you don’t deal with your limiting beliefs, they can hold you back from using your unique "creative voice" and producing artwork that will have an impact on the world.

What is a limiting belief? It’s a belief that limits what’s possible and available for you.

Limiting beliefs are rooted in misperception, and everyone has them. It’s your job to figure out what yours are, then deal with them, and let them go.

What are some examples of limiting beliefs that can pertain to digital artists?

• Digital art is too technical and I'll never keep up.
• I will never be as good an artist as X or Y!
• Nobody likes my art!
• I can't make a living out of digital art.
• I don't have enough time to do digital art.
• I'll never get any better!

You'll notice that some of these statements contain words like "never" and "nobody", suggesting a sense of hopelessness, but when examined more closely, it can be found that these statements aren't true at all!

More general limiting beliefs for artists may include:

• Fear of success
• Feat of failure
• Fear of rejection

This tutorial includes a presentation that helps you to identify your limiting beliefs as an artist and then gives pointers on how to reframe or get over them.

It includes stories from community members on how they felt limited as artists to start with and how they conquered these self-limitations.
