Should I make art? (lemmy.world)

I have feelings to express but no creative skills. Nothing comes out as perfect as it is in one's head. So is it even worth it to try?

There's a saying in my language that goes like "perfect is enemy of done".

As you fear not doing your ideas justice, maybe before trying them, you could participate on Ink52 from !inktober@sh.itjust.works? It's a gamefied way of making people train drawing, and Ink52 is afaik the loosest of the 3 trends in that line, Drawtober, Inktober and Ink52, meaning pressure is also minimal.
