Spring Cleaning

General
I'm working on updating my profile now. I know I haven't been that active other than buying art occasionally on here. I really do want to work on that.
I realized that a lot of why I don't do digital art is because someone I used to be closed to berated me for doing it. They told me I'd never make something of myself selling artwork on sim sites/online basically. Ever since then, my drive to do art has really tanked. Every time I work on a commission or something personal, it feels like a waste of time.
But I've reminded myself that I don't do art to "make something" of myself, or even to earn money. I do it as a hobby that I enjoy, and sometimes other people can benefit from it too. I want to reconnect with the joy I once had when working on various pieces. I want to express my ideas on canvas, even if they're silly. That's why it's a hobby. Art is supposed to be fun and creative, not come with gates that you can't get through.
Depression didn't help either, for a while. However, my life is in a pretty great place right now. So hopefully with some routine, you might see a bit more popping up in on here. If not, then at least I gave it a shot I guess.
