Description     there was a lot happening this month. so much so that something happened a week ago that would of changed everything.... I... almost quit art. the reason being. I feel when I draw something and I feel so proud about it because it was something new for me to try out... but then it sometimes doesn't get over 20 or even 10 favorite. I use to be really into drawing comics and telling the story of Wolf Hunt, because that is were most of my characters came from. characters like William, May, Tim Tim, Doc and even Jerry. the reason I stopped drawing comics was because people didn't like them. the comics sometimes only get a max of like 5-6 favorites. keep in mine that I worked on Wolf Hunt for almost 3 years and people didn't like it. 

    a few weeks ago, I was heavily thinking of Quitting art because I couldn't use the other styles I have. the stiles being comic, anime, chibi  or even the dragon style. if you didn't know I have more then one style. I have 9, and only about 3-4 of them are only get shown. I was mad and depressed that I couldn't play around with those like how I did with the Furry styles. so when I was hovering over the delete account button, something came to mind. even though I couldn't draw those anime and comic like styles. people still loved my art. I grew my art skill so much in just 2 years for being on DA (only 6 months on FA). when I first joined DA on March 28, 2018. I hade no idea on how to color, how to draw Muscles, how to draw Male and Female format, but now. I'm drawing those thing like there second nature. 

      another reason I didn't leave was because my goal wasn't met. the Goal of 1000 watchers. when I first joined. I was people with hundreds and hundreds even thousands of watchers. I was there like "I want to have that one day." I want around asking the people with thousands of watchers on how to draw Hips, muscles and other things like that. some responses latter, they all said the same thing, "look at references." the thing is, there Is something called a "bad Reference" and I didn't get anything from looking at other work really. So every thing I know today was self taught. I had no help with trying to get were I am today, and I didn't want to throw all of that away.

The favorites don't matter, don't let that define who you are.

When I first joined here... i've already heard a lot from artists being like this. How they feel like they're a failure, or worthless, because they're not getting a lot of favorites and comments.

When i started making/getting art I had one thing in mind: I didn't care about the fame. I didn't care about how many favorites I got, how much chatter I get, how many watchers, how many pageviews... I don't care. And I still don't.
I am here to have fun. To do what I want, to make what I want, and to share my creativity with the world.

Am I popular? Well I think decently so. People found me and gained interest... they stuck around for the ride. It's nice to have them around, yes, but I don't let that define me. It's a bonus in my mind.


It sucks not being able to adapt on the fly, or suddenly feel like you're stuck. But that's okay. You'll get better over time, and you won't get worse. You're always progressing. Don't quit because you get stuck, don't give up just yet.


You are amazing and talented, and your creative works, stories, are not in vain. Keep going and don't stop, don't let anyone or anything tell you otherwise.

And personally I want to see more ^^
