Thank you ❤

Totally didn't expect for it to be answered so thank you for doing so ❤❤

I always tend to get scared to post anything, and I am really greatful for your advice. Also i've been a bad week so you made me smile for the first real time in a week

Again, thank you so much and maybe I will post my little creations now >///< ❤

Where do you get the modivation to post/continue posting, if I may ask? Totally not asking to find modivation some where to post an undertale oc story idea comic thing onto my own Tumblr other than random sketches.... Nope. Also you are an amazing human even if you never answer this, (don't feel bad if you don't) and I love your work. It's wonderful! And your art style/your characters are as wonderful as you.

That’s a good question c: (long answer, expect some mistakes ahah)

Lack of motivation is a real problem for artists, and believe me, I know what I'm talking about. See, I have plenty of ideas but very few "projects" because of this very problem. Sometimes because I lose interest, sometimes because posting regularly is a pain or because boi this is too hard to draw, etc. And there's nothing to feel guilty about.

From experience, it's even harder when you have little if any feedback on your work. An idea, even a fantastic one, can only keep us motivated for so long and if it goes unnoticed, we tend to just drop it or just keep it to ourself. For instance, as much as I love Mel, I know that without any feedback, I'd have stopped after Part I (which I did mostly for fun but that's another story)

Another source of motivation is knowing that you're still enjoying working on your project. Not because other people enjoy it but because you do. It's much more satisfying to post your work when youre proud of it and you don't force yourself to come up with ideas for others. There's also seeing your art improve, eheh. As simple as it sounds, the more you draw, the more you improve, the more you improve, the more you want to share it with others/post (if it makes sense).

And because this is getting really long : -you can compare your level to other artists and feel intimidated, but never let that stop you from sharing your art. You worked hard too and will get better at it with time and practise (´ｖ｀) -ask, comic, random sketch, text or another fandom, feel free to post whatever you want to post. It's your blog -it's okay to be lazy / take a break if you need to. Again, posting takes time and energy, especially with comics -have fun (*´∀｀*)

Here, I hope it helped you ahah, and don't hesitate to show us your comic if you decide to post it, you already have all my support ;)

And of course, thanks for the compliments eheh (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)

Oh, that's a good question (´ｖ｀)

Lack of motivation is a real problem for artists, and believe me, I know what I'm saying. See, I have plenty of ideas but very few long term projects because of this very problem. Same goes for many people. Sometimes because we lose interest, sometimes because posting regularly is a pain etc. And there's nothing to feel guilty about.

It's much more satisfying to post when youre proud of your work and you don't force yourself to come up with ideas because you got bored of it. There's also seeing your art improve, eheh.

And because this is getting really long : -we all compare ourselves to other artists, but don't refrain from posting even if you're intimidated by other's level (´ｖ｀) -ask, comic, random sketch or another fandom, feel free to to post whatever you want to post. It's your blog -it's okay to be lazy or take a break when you need to -don’t hesitate to ask for advices or a little cheering when you’re working (*´∀｀*)

Welp, I hope it helped ? Also don't hesitate to show us your comic if you decide to post it, you already have my support ;)

And of course, thanks for the compliments eheh (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)
