I saw this and thought I should share! For years I didn’t think anyone liked my art. I didn’t like my art because I thought it was too different. When one person told me they liked my art, it helped me believe in my art. It made a world of difference. Sometimes people are too shy to say something. But they are out there, and they like what you do!
Reblogging this right now.
I never think about this…
I loved this much.
I have more hope now. Thank you.
Very true.
This is a good perspective to keep in any creative endeavors.
I think this is a great time to share a story with you all.
When I was coming from from work one day, I took a different train than usual due to maintenance work. On the train, there was a guy next to me watching anime on his phone. I decided to ask him what show it was and that led to us talking about this and that. Eventually the conversation drifted into art talk, and we started exchanging our sketches. Turns out, he was a technical artist who was in charge of drawing diagrams of microscopic lifeforms for science books. I told him “Wow, I wish I could stuff that detailed!”. He then points to my sketches and says “And I wish I could do stuff that energetic!”.
The moral of the story is that there’s always someone out there who wishes they could do what you do and how you do it, so don’t feel too bad if you think your art isn’t up to snuff.
