While there's nothing inherently wrong with having faith in one's abilities, watch out for presumptuous self-confidence.
Real artists aren't pompous or smug. Real artists are scared. They're worried. They're afraid their ideas won't resonate, the words won't do the story justice, the colors won't speak to the theme or make the necessary impact.
There are so many ways a project can go wrong, and the real artist has considered every one ad nauseam.
The real artist's hands and fingers still shake (literally or metaphorically) when it comes time to release their project out in the world.
Be wary of those with big ideas, who have all the answers, yet never really accomplish anything.
Be Brilliant!
