How long before confidence with graphics?

[Katrina]

How long was it before you became confident at creating graphics? I find that I'm still a little shy about showing people what I can do and I've been doing graphics for 30 years now.

Both banners in your signature show your skills. It could be like stage fear, in this case, gallery fear.

I didn't design the Christianity Haven logo unfortunately. I don't know who did that. But I did design the Crafter Craze one.

I use Corel Draw as I'm most comfortable with the program and have been using it in various versions for probably 20 years now.

All depends on the person and their own self esteem. Some don't like putting themselves out there for criticism. Took me a couple of years before I shared mine.

I've self taught myself on Photoshop since I was a kid and kind of always tinkered around creating logo's backgrounds and stuff. I'm still not confident enough to showcase my stuff but confident enough to use them on my website projects.

I agree with @Allan its all about self esteem.

I guess I got to work on my self esteem 😅

When I was interested in graphics, it took me a few months to understand the techniques of Photoshop and other little details. With repetition and time, it actually does not take long to self teach with graphics.
