I’m on an not art related discord Server. It has an art channel thou, where I keep uploading some stuff from time to time. I’m known for my drawings in this community.

This happened in the art-channel yesterday:

Me: *posts a new drawing*

No response. as usual.

drawing beginner: *posts an drawing*

10 People (including me) comment on it, like it, encourage this person.

Randy (random dude): “I’ll rather like and comment this new art instead of Noji’s.”
Me: “Outsch is it that bad?”
Randy: “No quite the contrary! Your art is amazing! But you’re so good you don’t need encouragement.”

This……. is the worst thing I’ve ever heard. I may be quite happy with my art at the moment and this is the reason why I love to share it with you. But there where times I was not. Where I felt uncompfortable sharing my stuff. Even if other people said it’s wonderful.
And people who are good at something (in the eyes of others) don’t deserve some praise because they don’t need it? Because they know that they’re good?

Bullshit.

Everyone deserves some praise and approval. Everyone deserves encourangement and likes. No matter how skilled they are.

So in case you haven’t heard it today:
You are wonderful. It doesn’t matter if you’re drawing, writing, producing videos and/or music, if you’re crafting or whatever. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner, advanced or proffessional.  And it certainly doesn’t matter how many follower you have. Your work is amazing. Even if you don’t feel unsure at times about your works, let me assure you: There’s no need to feel unsure or uncompfortable. Because you enlighten everyone’s days with it. So keep it up as long as you have fun doing it. And don’t let anyone ever tell you, that you don’t deserve love, praise and everything good. Because you deserve it.

Beautifully said! Everyone deserves praise and feedback for their work, no matter the skill level ^_^

Art is an expression of oneself so getting positive feedback is important. Knowing that what you create makes others emotional is important and the need for knowing that doesn’t have anything to do with skill level.

Please everyone when you see or read something you like let the creator know, even if it’s just saying “I love this”. It can make someones day just like seeing art or reading a good story can make your day better ♡

@silverryu25 knows what’s up.

agree 500% with what’s been said but also- You may think someone is awesome/great/well known etc etc but that doesn’t always mean they will think that of themselves esp if they’re in a block/trying something new. By all means support new people, that’s amazing! But don’t stop encouraging people who you think are really good either!
