Re: Why do you write fic or make fanart?

Awwww sorry about that anon. It can be very rough. As someone who’s never been talented but worked hard at art lessons until like 20something yo I always felt humiliated by talented kids (in my mind I was the worst artist ever but looking back now it was not that bad) but looking at fandom artists now I’m like “well even I could do better than that with the right software/hardware” . Which is to say my art was just at that “we all have seen worse, but also much better” point when I gave up. There was room for improvement. But I hated it too much to enjoy it anymore.

Lately I have been trying to go back to drawing and feeling like some popular fandom artists are mediocre at best skill wise is what convinced me like no amount of “your style is fine!! etc” had ever convinced
