That's what I was thinking.

I don't write, but I draw-- and drawing for other people is just one of the most stressful things, even if it's just a "quick sketch" for a friend. It sounds easy at first, but then once you sit down to do it, you just start feeling more and more pressure that it has to be "good"-- then it gets harder and harder to actually draw it, and as more time passes on you feel like you have to make the drawing even better to compensate for how long it's taking you, and so on and so on--

Seriously... it's really hard to create things, especially when you really care about what the receiver will be thinking of it. Creating work is much more difficult than appreciating it. Please be more thoughtful about that...

As a fellow artist OMG this so much.
Let me hug you and share your pain, anon ;_;

(Anonymous) 2013-03-20 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
this makes me sad and want to hug all artists and writers.

as a fan who loves getting gifts no matter how good or bad, it makes me sadder still that someone got a gift of creativity and couldn't appreciate it for what it was.

a gift.

I wish artists didn't feel like you feel. honestly, there really are people out there in the world that are grateful for anything you put on the page, regardless of how you feel it turned out, even if it's just on a napkin. thinking of us while you were doing it?

best feeling in the world.

to bad some folks need their gifts to be made perfect before it's appreciated.

sad!anon is sad now.

Calm down. Anon didn't say that it had to be perfect. Anon said it felt like no real effort went in and they would probably know since its their friend and they read their stuff.

This is why virtually all of my gift art is surprise gift art.

If it takes a long time, I don't have as much time pressure to berate myself with, and if it sucks, then I can scrap it and no one but me will know that I even tried.
