Why no artists like to do freebies. Aside from some pretty irritating notes of people demanding I draw their sona, people unwatching me when I don't do a freebie fast enough, nobody/few buys anything. Well, I hate to say it, but I'm done. I will be finishing the ones I've already got to do, but aside from watcher Raffles, I can't anymore. I still love my watchers & hope you'll stay, but I expect I might lose some, it's just the way it is..people start treating you badly & feeling very entitled when you try to do something nice. I get it, I like free too...but I'd rather support an artist if I can because I am one. One who had her dreams crushed by everything around her. My parents always told me, you're good, but we don't think you could make it, you can do anything, oh, except be an artist full time. Hope you have a backup job/plan.
I work full time @ a job that pays for things most if the time but that I have less than 50% passion for. This is the real world where everything costs money & you end up paying for people who are less fortunate than you.
Still will do doodles for donating since it's technically not free. I know I'm not a great artist, maybe not even a good one really (I'm not asking for compliments here I know I can draw but that doesn't make me that great) but a little respect would be nice, not even I think I could make it on art full time now, but @ least I draw when I can.
That said, for all of my watchers, what would you like to see me do? More adopts? YCH? What would keep your interest?

FA+

People who claim a spot and then unwatch after getting their freebie are just lowlifes.
One reason I haven't tried it, yet only offer freebies to friends like you, Ace and my mate.
*hugs* You'll never lose me as a watcher.
Same here and we must hang out more with the summer coming and do more trades. :D
