Just needed some emotional venting art to reset before some more big fun projects! I'm good and optimistic just channeling bad habits into productivity!

wOAH! Hey! I watch you because I like what you do! Look at your watchers. Each and every one of them watches you for a reason. In my case, I watch you for many reasons! I can only assume that others think the same way! You're doing better than I could! I enjoy your art. Your skill with expressions is truly inspiring. I imagine that your art is an expression of who you are. As such, we like your art. We like you. You are loved, and worthy of love. Don't let your internal doubts keep you away from the fulfillment of seeing things through to completion! Know that there's random people you've never met that actually care!
Imposter syndrome is a very real thing that can rear its ugly head in many ways. You have as many watches/faves as you do because we value your work, but it's finding value in it yourself that will put the syndrome to rest.
Do what you love because you love it, and have faith that we're being honest when we say we love it too! ❤️

Lizet take heart you are like He-Man, You have the Power!!! Here are some words of wisdom to help you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVA-Bx4rNc0
It is the nature of adulthood, and the realization that really no one knows what they are doing because half of what we do are societal constructs and thus the "Standards" of that activity are also little more then constructs. Thus we compare ourselves to the collective works of Billions of individual lives across centuries of time.
You draw really good animalistic anthros. Anatomically you're fine. The rest of your style comes down to brushwork and the like, and again, you're fine with that. People are going to enjoy and support your work for the subject matter over how it's painted (since in terms of relative quality you're doing fantastic), and regardless of the kind of art you make, you will always attract new followers who are interested in your work even if older people who are nitpicky decide they no longer like what you make and decide not to stick around. And that's fine. Do whatever style most personally gratifying to you. And if you don't like it or even if you grow bored of it, change things around. You don't have to marry yourself to a particular niche.
You're doing the thing very well. And I think you're going in the right direction, other than that...
I totally get it and I have no idea how it works either but as long as you continue to be a good person, and continue the arts, and all that, I think it'll work out.

Yeah I struggle with this too. Praise is out there in droves for your art but it never really touches your soul?
"I'm supposed to feel happy, touched, encouraged, and like I'm emotionally indebted to these people who praise me, so why do I feel like I don't?"
I'm still figuring that out. I've kinda come to the conclusion that a BIG number of artists feel like this, and that... it's okay to not feel an emotional investment when people compliment you. A lot of that Impostor Syndrome comes from the self. It's okay to be where you're at right now. Tomorrow will be a new day and a new discovery.

I can tell you for sure that many of us love your art and style a lot, You became one of my favorite artists really quick, I adore your anatomy and proportions the fact that you can combine that with such beautiful expressions and complex poses show how much talent you have, the problem is that as human beings sometimes we tend to diminish the abilities we have.
You drew all this gallery and maybe over time you have been unable to value the skills you have, maybe you think you can do 100 times better if you work harder and all but even if that's true you're already amazing, you're at a skill level in which many of us would like to be, I can tell you for sure that I would love to be as good as you.
Don't be too hard on yourself, discipline is good but too much of it can harm you, think of ways to improve but never hate what you've done before because is part of your growth as an artist and person.

Wow. I know that feeling!
Like, people say it's good but in your head, you're going: "Seriously? I rushed that bit. Messed up that one. I could have done that better, but I don't know how! That was a fluke. That ONE DAMN PIXEL!!"
Still though, your work, from my perspective, is flawless!

I watch you because I appreciate your attention to non-human anatomy. While for me it depends on the species as I'm not always fond of animal anatomy, species to species, it's always fun to look at something lewd or goofy, AND learn at the same time.
Mostly, I just really appreciate the way you do great service to bovines and ungulates in general.

love your girls, wish I could draw half as good as you, had a coworker see some woodworking cutouts I had done and he asked if I could make him some for his kid, told him, don't have a damn clue, don't know what I'm doing, hes liking the progress so hell if I keep screwing up in the right direction its still a win right?
