Shy

General
I'm suddenly shy about my paintings (also about writing, that is the reason I don't write too many journals or I end up deleting them, but painting is a new thing) and I started keeping some pictures to myself because of quality or theme.
I'm beginning to wonder if that is logical (and if it ever was), since now there are folders and I can have all the transformations in the same folders, and whatever else in another one (maybe I should start using the Scraps section too, I guess that is what it was meant for...) I just feel like I don't want to fill your inbox with submissions you may not be interested in.
I didn't have this problem before because every painting seemed either the same or better quality than the former ones (plus I would rarely get more than 3 favs per painting), but now I have some ups and downs and I don't know what to do about it. There are some paintings that look good in very little time, but then I may spent a lot of time in another one but never get it look as good as I want, and I just want to finish those and move to something else. And if I upload those I feel like I should put in the description "hey, I drew this, but I know it doesn't look that good, I swear.". And some of that paintings may get favs anyway, while some I thought were good don't. It is so confusing.
Can someone relate?

Also, it's pretty easy to ignore drawings one's not interested in, so don't hesitate sharing even those you don't consider perfect =)
I agree. And then that's how I find quality content. I play games that authors wanted to play themselves. I watch art that artists wanted themselves to see.
