Art is not a hierarchy or progression where one style or subject matter is more inherently valuable than another. It isn't necessary to graduate to something more complex or realistic or serious in order for your art to be good. Your art is already good. Challenging yourself by learning new techniques and gaining new skills and practicing is wonderful. That's the joy of growth. Drawing the same exact thing every day because that's what you want to do is wonderful. That's the joy of multitude.
Art is expression, emotion, nostalgia, curiosity, comfort, joy, sadness. Art is an outlet, a way to share yourself with others, a way to give to the world, a way to give to yourself, a conduit for ideas, a well of humor, a space to take risks. Art can be a breathtaking landscape, art can be a simple pattern on the edge of a dish. Art can be a scribbled facial expression that makes you go 'yeah, I feel exactly like that.' Art can capture ugliness, oddity, uncertainty, beauty, charm, change, love, and so many, many, many intangible things. Art is everything, and your art is a part of it.
Cause back in my day we didn't need no feel-good pills and no psychiatrists
No, we just drank ourselves to death, and god damn it, we liked it
Who makes the call? What's a symptom, what's a flaw
Can it be both? Well I suppose that's an answer
Would you give up your humanity for just a touch of sanity
Cause God knows it's not like it's cancer
And good news to the purists: they've discovered a cure
For the symptoms of being alive
It's a painless procedure with a low rate of failure
But very few patients survive
And a little conformity never hurt nobody
But lately I've been worried that you're losing yourself
So how many milligrams of you are still left in there?

Wow, a Latin name too! Delightful. I'm glad I left him alone then! What a cool fluffy little creature.
