I'm feeling pretty discouraged. I don't mean to complain but its hard to work on coloring and finishing art when people seem to like the sketches and WIPs more.
I've kinda been questioning WHY I draw as well. Most people like fanart more than my OCs.
I just don't know.
Sorry for whining. :(

I KNOW I should be doing art for the sake of the art.
I KNOW I should be grateful for even having people taking a glance at my work.
I think the unga bunga part of my brain just wants to see the little numbers on the bottom go up.
Balancing making things that you enjoy while also feeling like what you create is being noticed and appreciated by others~
Sure, art should be for its own sake and yours, but it's a rare breed of artist that makes and expects to be ignored!
Not going to say I haven't had my frustrations, but ultimately I just prefer getting my ideas down. Some draw for other people, I usually draw for myself and hope others like it.
Just switch off your expectations and create regardless! It's not you, it's the nature of social media. In time an audience will come.
