art is a representation of one's mind; or i'd like to think so. answering why i draw is like asking why i breathe, i just do it to survive. the therapy of crafting something is emotional. i can be angry, sad, happy, or even trying to fill the void of boredom for 30 minutes.
the problem with making art for me is that art is a reflection of yourself. art is the essence of who you are. So when you see your art, and decide it’s not good enough, it’s the same as knowing that YOU are not good enough. there aren't many artists who can truly ever look at their own art completely unbiased and subjectively, so does that mean that extends to the self too?
then again, you don't have to be like that. you can just make art for the sake of doing it, or because you enjoy it. but personally, that is why i do it.
any media that is an artform has always been there, no matter how lonely i've felt it's just been there for me to pick up the pen and scribble out shapes that are eventually something alive.
ooor if i'm drawing gore, they're usually dead or on the brink of death but it's still nice.
this is probably why i avoid taking criticism from strangers. its for me, myself and i to better myself and to get advice.
art is personal to me so any comments is taken personally.
even if people somehow mean well, some "compliments" can taint my view on certain things; for example, i have this character that i like drawing. i make him my muse sometimes, he's this edgy pale bitch i call aiguo.
i painted him in a new style once, a recreation of Alexandre Cabanel's 'the fallen angel'.
nice, right?
well, upon posting it in a discord server people started to overly sexualize him. i know, he isn't really real but telling someone you want to "non-con" him until he cries and "have him r@pe" your corpse is simply fucked up. there was multiple, some people just purely wanted to do things to him; i'd take it as satire if they didn't geniunely tell me they were dead serious. it was really upsetting to read all those messages, but, my fault for being on the internet in the first place i suppose.
there's probably a special place in hell for specific kind of people.
i hope there's hot cocoa there

Those comments are extremely gross. Even if he is fictional, I think it's pretty common knowledge to not make comments of that type unless the person has said they're comfortable with it. It's a really creepy and disrespectful thing to do.
