Gonna be a bit real here. Been very underwhelmed lately. I know I shouldn't put so much value on the reception of my work and just draw for myself, but it's knowing that people care that motivates me to keep drawing. And lately, I've been feeling very glossed over.
I don't know if it's Twitter's broken timeline (I barely see posts from mutuals anymore myself, this site is such a mess) or the simple fact that I'm not good and don't have an interesting style.
Like, I'm trying to improve. Each hurdle is impossible for me to pass until I can get better equipment. I feel so restrained with my current tablet. Line accuracy is shit and 90% of the time my drawings come out way different than I planned. My drawings on paper look way better.
At this point it seems like I'm scribbling out half-assed stuff just to remind the 3 peeps that actually see it that I'm around.
I have something I've been passionately working on ready for Monday, but like...will it even get seen? Will anyone even care? Given the feedback of my recent stuff, the probability is abysmal.
Like, I get it. Numbers don't equate to skill, but I feel like that's easy for people to say sometimes. I just can't shake this feeling time to time. It's gets pretty disheartening to be so under the radar. Support is so hard to come by nowadays.
