Study Task 2 - Personal SWOT Analysis

After the session, I have been able to identify some real strengths and weaknesses in my own practice and self. This came from my own analysis and my peers' feedback.

My overall strengths lie in my time management and organisation. In terms of artistic strengths, I have also identified that I am strong at character design, colour theory, and that I have a unique art style.

My weaknesses is that I lack confidence, and this comes from my own anxiety about my work and interacting with others. While I have definitely been able to handle my anxiety better over the last few years, it definitely still holds me back from time to time. Technically, my weaknesses lie in the fact I tend to give up easily if I don't achieve success quickly, and that I often doubt myself and compare myself to others.

While comparisons aren't always bad, I tend to view them negatively, always comparing my art to others' and asking myself why mine doesn't look that good. Of course, I can rationalise it and understand that other artists may have been working longer and harder than I have, which means they have refined their style more. Still, I do find it difficult to deal with the fact that I am not as progressed as others.
