Have you ever heard something like “We’re our own worst critics”? No? Then please, shut the fuck up.
I don’t normally get this mad over something some anon wrote, but you just blow my mind, dear friend.
“Don’t pretend you ever was dejected”? Oh let me fucking tell you. I’m someone who happened to come quite a way from being an annoying copycat. And, as people on the internet tend to express themselves, I was politelly reminded and accused in that multiple fucking times in the past. I clearly never got dejected about it once, and I clearly didn’t fucking cried about it the numerous amounts of times because I hated the way I drew and because I couldn’t branch off from that immediately like I wanted to. It chased me for fucking YEARS, the fucking FEAR or accidentally making something similar to what the other person made.
Don’t fucking tell me people who you consider “good artists” or people who happen to get notes on the internet are 100% satisfied with the work they make. Don’t fucking tell me they don’t ever feel down because they are not good enough to satisfy themselves. Don’t fucking tell me people who happen to get notes or get called “good artists” have it easy because I will punch you in your ignorant face.
And just for the fucking record, artists who are “good” now, are people who worked their way through to this point. People who started somewhere just like the rest of you. People who sucked, back then. People who kept drawing even though they didn’t like the way it turned out for for ages.
So, dear anon, from the bottom of my heart:
