Why am I so scared to draw...I really want to draw, but I don't want to as while I did draw during my childhood, and even submitted some art into some magazines according to my parents that were apparently published in said magazines (Dora the Explorer to be specific, and yeah, this is pre-school me).
During Primary School, I enjoyed drawing, while during my Secondary School years, I didn't really care for it. And if I did, I would of only done it during my Junior Cert. The art teacher during my Junior Cert years was a very kindhearted, elderly woman that my Sister had back when she was in Secondary School. However, during the leaving cert, the teacher we had was...not so nice, she was basically a bossy, rude, ableist (I asuume, from an interaction I had with her) woman. (For context, the previous one retired). So if I had done Art, I would of immediately quit it just like I did Chemistry & French back in Secondary School (although, when it comes to French, I just found it hard in general and I did like my French teacher in general).
Afterwards, there were a few times where I was interested in it, and got art supplies, and even got a Wacom digital art pad back in 2021, however, I never did anything with it (although, I do blame currency exchange fluctuation for that one).
I really want to draw, and wish I could of remembered my drawing skills from my childhood, however, I can't, and I know I will suck. I want to try and draw, at least draw Simpsons characters first.
Does anyone ever have these feelings of been afraid to draw? I know there are artists on this site, and from what I've seen from some of them, THEY ARE AMAZING, with one example I can think of been

Of course, AI is another reason why I'm scared to draw too, and it getting stolen from what DeviantART has shown me through the years
