something I’ve noticed about my art on tumblr which is lowkey sad, is that when I first started posting & had no idea on how tumblr works, I was ecstatic that I even got 1 note on my art. I remember being so proud of myself if my art got up to 10 notes. I bragged to my family & friends about how much people liked my art cause look 3 people liked it
now if I don’t reach this certain number for each post, i kinda feel as if my art isn’t good enough. That people saw it and thought that it wasn’t worth reblogging or liking.
and it’s SO stupid and silly to think that way! It’s like I’m setting myself up for failure each time I post!!!!!! notes! aren’t! a! competition! and these things definitely don’t matter in the long run. anyway-
you do art for you, improve for yourself, try out new mediums for yourself, and if you want to share that along the way, then you do that as well. just don’t base the worth of your art over some numbers online
