I think I should stop drawing
3 weeks ago
I think, ....I should stop drawing. Because I have no any talent. The number of likes and follows proves this. This's what proves drawing skills and talent.
Well-drawn or talented drawings have high likes and followers. And people who draw well have a lot of likes and followers. And of course, other artists get that normally.
But, only not me. Not me...
Because I haven't talent, and stupid trash character design skill.

Sending love and a big, big hug.
-Wanting to be popular shouldn't be your reason for drawing, but if you want to be popular it's more about being spread around to as many places as possible than actual art quality
-Being found to begin with usually requires you to draw something that pops up easily when searched (Lots of rule 34) or to be retweeted by someone with a lot of followers
-It's innately paradoxical, but uploading often helps you get seen more, but posting art en masse makes people look at individual images less
even NullGhost constantly has breakdowns over the same thing, and his work was wildly considered to be some of the best in the furry community.
TLDR, popularity has nothing to do with art quality, popularity is about luck and being friends with other popular artists. Your art is great.
- I'm already posting it on a lot of sites
- I'm already drawing a lot of popular characters, and I'm not being retweeted by someone who has a lot of followers.
- There are already countless people who get a lot of hearts and retweets even if they post a lot.
- Nullghost is already a genius, and he's already getting a lot of likes and retweets.
- Popularity is still related to drawing skills. Have you ever seen art with drawing skills have fewer likes?
- I already have a lot of popular artist friends, but they don't retweet my art, they only retweet certain artists.
You can try to have both, but the more you focus on the former the more you lose on the latter.
If you continue to enjoy what you do and continue doing it, naturally more people will see what you have done and will more likely follow you and like you.
Besides, I can see the numbers in your own pieces and those are still good numbers. If you're comparing yourself to big names in the community, you're more bound to hurt yourself than do any good.
If the numbers are that big to you, then use it as incentive to do more, not a blockade that will stop you.
I hope you will continue, but ultimately it is your decision.
