the honest truth is that I& #39;ve been trying for years to oppress the need to draw the things that I really enjoy drawing, which are lewd, sometimes violent, kinda guro-ish things. I know it shows, but I always try to hide it behind bishonen faces because I& #39;m terrified of

my art not being liked by others. Sadly, if you wanna have a decent living, you have to be likable in order to earn money. People tell you "draw whatever you want" but nowadays it& #39;s super scary to just go with what makes you happy. Specially of you& #39;ve been drawing "cute" things

for years because otherwise you don& #39;t get approval. I& #39;m tired of trying to be liked. Yes, I like handsome guys, but do I wanna draw the handsome guys in ugly scenarios? Absolutely. So, take this thread as a trigger/content warning. I& #39;m not holding back anymore.

You should unfollow now if this is not your cup of tea.
