Fake it till you make it

This illustration is part of my university project, for which I illustrated and designed an entire magazine myself.

"Fake it till you make it" is a popular life motto that suggests that you should act confident and self-assured, even if you may not yet have reached the desired level of experience or skill. The idea behind it is that adopting a confident attitude or feigning competence and confidence can actually help you gain more self-confidence and ultimately succeed. It encourages you to take on challenges, even if you feel insecure at first, and to strengthen your belief in your own ability to ultimately achieve personal growth and success.
