Bad Head Space
| And it's just this negative spiral of self-loathing.
Like it's not even like all the negative feedback wasn't warranted. I totally see where I went wrong with the piece, but damn. I hate how I get into this negative headspace.
| Well, hate to burst your bubble like that, but someone has to. You have to draw for yourself and your own enjoyment, not for upvotes and feedback. Stop looking at what other people post as well if it hurts you this much.
| You say draw for yourself, but one of the reasons I stopped drawing was because I just hated my art. I think I've grown since then, I look back at my old works and this current work not with complete disdain anymore.
But god, I used to be so fucking dissatisfied with whatever I drew.
I say all that in the first two posts, but I don't actually feel that demoralized. Still excited to keep drawing.
| I hope this rebound is real this time cause I have been in this love-hate relationship with art for way too long
| Sorry in advance, I just feel like rambling
This stupid inner quarrel I've been having with myself has probably burned a few bridges.
Really, my headspace with everything in general has been so bad. I just wanted to voice all this dumb shit I've been thinking.
I was gonna post the artwork but didn't because I'm currently too much of a pussy to do it. Not because I'm afraid people here will say bad things about it, but because I'm afraid it might get recognized.
| Those bridges I was talking about earlier? Formed on /u/ between people that were counting on me to make art.
If they're still around, they probably know. Here I am too much of a coward to just tell them directly, "I'm sorry," and explain my situation even though they'd probably be totally understanding.
You know what, I'm gonna do it. Tired of beating around the bush with everything. Need to fucking step up.
| Like what am I even doing typing on an anonymous board about my problems that concern literally buttfuck no one but myself. I'm taking action my g/u/rls, on various things. Wish me luck
| Good luck g/u/rl. Also, tell us when you start making delicious LEWDS AND NUDES

| Fuck. So I draw art, I guess.
Haven't drawn in months then I drew something I quite like. Posted it online and get like a third downvoted and some negative feedback and suddenly all the positive feedback I receive becomes just lip service in my head.
Then I look at other people posting fan art that get more upvotes like simple chibi art and there's just this dude doing this https://i.redd.it/f2x6ceavy2351.png
which is just the official art of the character but simplified.
