I really don't know what I'm doing half the time when I draw, but then I hear others feel the same way when they create art. I want to get better, yet I still don't feel like it'd be "worth" it since I started drawing with no clear goal in mind. It used to be fun, and it still is sometimes, but it was only ever a hobby for me and I feel my inspiration running dry.
I do think that growing up made me worse with my art. Not so much the skill, but the ideas I had. If there was a way to revisit my nonsensical imagination from when I was a preteen, I feel like creating art would be much more fun. For now, it's kind of a chore. I'll still keep trying, but there is something personal missing though it isn't completely apparent.
Also, it's still odd getting attention for the adult art I've uploaded. They were meant for... personal use, but now I have people getting reeeeeal comfortable with me just because they saw my character being lewd in public. For shame lmao

But I get your dilemma of just being a hobby vs wanting to be better. Its really hard to improve at art, especially when its just a hobby you do for fun. Because the things you need to do to improve really aren't that fun. Drawing things outside your comfort zone, doing studies, etc. However, for being a hobby, I believe your art is incredible! No need to feel like it's not good enough. But hey if you feel motivated to put in the effort to improve even further, then by all means!
And yeah. . . It's kinda a given that NSFW art gets more attention. . . And leads to randos trying to get buddy buddy with ya. . . Thaaaat's just about how this site goes. Definitely very respectable that you still stuck to your guns despite that!
