Explaining some things
4 months ago
Okay... first of all, I want to apologize for the last journal I posted. I wasn't at my best, and I wanted to vent myself.
I'm still a little down, but not as much as I was that day. The reason was that whenever I post a drawing, I get frustrated that unless it's NSFW or an attitude to be, it doesn't reach the people I expect. (At least more than one person.) And I can't help but feel frustrated and wonder what I'm doing wrong. Is there a mistake I'm making with the drawings I'm making? Or am I just "not good at drawing?"
Normally these thoughts don't overwhelm me as much as they did recently. The reason I felt so depressed was because I made the mistake of trusting people I considered friends, fellow artists who always supported the projects and work they shared with me, offering my opinions to see them grow and improve. But when it was my turn to share my work and feelings about my situation as an artist, all I received were negative comments towards my work. arguing that I brought this situation on myself by not "following trends" or "drawing what I wanted and not what was most popular" even some said my art was attractive.
I know im not the best or the only digital artist but hearing that from the people I trusted my work to their criticism and open myself to them, it was harsh, and worts of all. I belive them for a moment and if he continued to believe his words, he would abandon the drawing again.
Just want to say this to conclude the subject,
I wont draw whats popular i will draw what i like and if i will be ignored in the furry community for that, so be it
I will try to keep doing what I love and hoping for someone else to like it too.
Thank you for all your support, even when I said at the very beginning I wish for more reach. I am moved by those who come to give their Fav, in what I get to publish in this site or other place.
