If you overlayed the graphs of my skill and confidence there would be a brief spike in confidence fairly early one that would then drop off. This would be the initial beginner's confidence brought on by learning the initial basics and feeling a surge of accomplishment. The fall off would come from realizing how much more there was to learn before mastery.

Creativity is adaptation, confidence is helped by sales and positive remarks. Being an artist is a struggle between positive and negative emotions often coming from the external world.
