Question (? idk) for Artists 👀

Your not overeactting :slightly_smiling_face:

Take me for example: I asked my friend what she thought about a water color painting I was doing, and she told me the blending was bad, etc.
Now before she told me that, I obviously had seen my blending wasn’t the best while working on it, but I thought “hey it’s ok, this is just my first painting after all.”
Then after she gave told me the blending looked bad, I felt a little hurt, even though I knew it was true, but I didn’t want to continue working on the piece anymore(I still had to bc it was for school)

And a more recent one:
I’m working on a new story, and I asked for some feedback.
I was told that while my story has potential it isn’t something that she/he would reccomend, and that it wasn’t funny and the MC’s dad wasn’t a rescpectable character.
Like ok, I know my story isn’t the greatest thing ever, but I still like it.
After the feedback, I felt kinda empty(not really unmotivated :thinking: ) and I didn’t feel like working on my story anymore

I would just pull up the script, stare at it, code a few lines, and delete them.
Then I asked two other ppl to review my story, and overall, they liked it :hushed:
They pointed out a few details which I needed to change, which I’m currently working on, and after reading some nice feedback, it made me feel happy, and now it’s a lot easier for me to find the motivation fore me to code :party_time:

The moral of this rant is that yes, you’ll feel the negativity from other people, but you’ve got to ignore it and focus on the good :party_time:

If you ever need reassurance, as a side note you can PM me, and I will write you a nice little message about how great your art is :smile_cat:

(I mean it should’t be too hard, I’m sure your great, and I suck at art :sob: )
