Drawing is fun and all but it's like I keep getting this feeling like what's the point? I really don't get any sort of attention for what I do (which isn't my goal) and I know you should draw for yourself and all but... ya know, some positive feedback and reinforcement would be really cool, even if it was just a little bit.

It just gets frustrating when I try hard to improve and push myself artistically and then I get nothing in return for it. Improvement for the sake of improvement is of course great, but a few of the big reasons I want to improve is so I can get more attention to my art for things like commissions, art trades, making other artist friends, and just sharing my work with others. But it's difficult when it feels like all the work you do isn't getting you anywhere, it's like I'm beating my head against the wall here.

I've been on this site for over two years and I really don't have anything to show for it. I didn't make any friends, I haven't gotten any commissions, I've only done two trades (which I had to initiate), and it really feels like no one gives a damn about what I work hard on to put out. Maybe I'm doing things wrong? Maybe I should just duck out of drawing furs and go back to humans? I just really don't know... aughh, art is hard.
