First time drawing Mirko. First time drawing Felicia.
hey cheer up champ!! dont let the interaction on a piece put you down or make you think that its not good or that youre not a good artist! social media popularity is honestly like lightning, it strikes randomly.
but enough kicking yourself! you have some really cool works in your gallery, i like a lot of your pokemon stuff :) i dont know anything about bnha but this pose came out really good! you have some great work in your portfolio and youve got a lot of talent, dont give up >:D i believe in you, got that?
Thanks a lot! Not that I'm giving up but... I thought or HOPED I'd have a small following by now; I've done 101 artworks and that's STILL not enough?!
I understood when I only had submitted a couple dozen or so... but I'm already past a hundred and still no change... I can't help but feel a little frustrated.
youll get there, i know thats what everyone says, but theres not really much else to say.
in all honesty its genuinely pretty hard to deal with that feeling of putting so much work into a piece and nobody really even pays any attention to it. maybe you could try joining some private art communities, like on discord? sometimes it helps with that feeling of wanting validation. (WHICH IS OKAY TO WANT!! you put effort and time into something its okay to want people to appreciate it.)
I think how much we as a society really put into social media makes us conflate likes/shares/comments as worth, but i really do mean this that it does not matter. i know youre gonna be okay champ, but maybe if these feelings keep coming up it might help to try talking to someone you really trust and being honest and open about how its been affecting you and maybe even taking a break from using it for a while.
i dont want you to feel that way and im really sorry that its made you feel like this <:(
