How to “Fake it ‘till you make it”

Spread the love
Have you ever heard the phrase “fake it ’til you make it”? Yeah, it was my first time too.

Hi, how’s your shade today?

When I was just starting set up for a new role that I’d never done before, I didn’t have complete confidence in my skills and abilities. I’m filled with self-doubt and worry that I’ll screw this up.

In 2019, I uploaded my first drawing to the internet. It took me around two years of self-study drawing before I hit the “publish” button. I was excited. However, no one liked or commented on my artwork because it was terrible. I was disappointed. As a result, I stopped drawing. I was unsuccessful.

In 2021, I resumed drawing. I started from the beginning and it took longer than usual because I took my time learning. I didn’t want to draw sleazy art ever again. This time, I didn’t stop. I kept going.

I learned from my mistakes, improved my drawing skills, shared every step with my friends, and they began to like my artwork. I took small steps, and they paid off day by day. I was just faking and acting like a real graphic designer, but I was not lying.

“Fake it” refers to test your limits and see how far you can go. It doesn’t mean lying to make people believe you are someone you’re not.

A friend once told me: “If you want to be a good baker, do what a baker would do. They bake, and you too. Fake it as if you are a real baker.”

I admit that I am afraid of being judged, but this is an opportunity for me to focus on myself learning new things, improving my skills, and putting effort into my artwork until I make it.

You should find your chance and fake it to achieve success.

I hope you found this post inspiring!
