I'm not really good at any visual art forms, but I made a pretty big collage for my friend's birthday, and it was just fun following my instincts on what to put together, seeing where I could place an inside joke, and just telling a story in a way I usually wouldn't.
Hours went by before I even realized how long I'd been working on it. I just listened to music, cut up magazines, rubbed glue into my hands, fucked around with a bunch of markers, and it was pretty chill. I'd recommend anyone who struggles with visual art to give it a try, you might surprise yourself, but you also might just have fun, which is worth it to me. It's making me consider learning how to do it digitally.

When I draw or paint something and I don't feel 100% happy with the end product, sometimes I like to use it in a collage or do a collage around it.
It turns art I'm disappointed in into something I like looking at. It keeps me from getting disheartened and helps creative juices flow.
I think the collaging aspect is especially useful because it less technical and you can be pretty abstract with composition.
It's a lot of fun and I think everyone should try it!! Here's a picture of one I did today. My drawing came out at a little flat and lacking dimension. I turned it into a collage and I feel like my original vision started to show. I started creating a story for this character I made through the collage.
If you like to do this or want to try it, show me ur collages ❤️ would love to see what other people come up with.

Remote, cucumber, bag of chips, house keys. Not sure they get anything out of it, but they just seem happy to be kept in the loop.

It bums me out whenever someone's trying to say something but cuts themselves off or says "nevermind" because they assume that they're wasting time. Think it through, or let it come back to you. 3 years ago, I started saying, "Talk through the thought" with my friend, and I think it's made me more patient, and I've ended up hearing/saying some cool shit (or at least some funny shit) that I would've probably missed out on otherwise.
