A few of us are doing Zoom calls on Sunday at 7pm EST if you're interested in joining us. Like Liandro, suggested, it helps.

@Dennis Yeary, I think it can be very helpful to engage with other people who also do art, whether it's an online community or a small art group that gets together in person periodically.

Take 10 minutes to really think about why you make art (or an hour... or a week, if you must). Is it for people to say "WOW, you made that" or is it because a voice or a fizz inside of you lights on FIRE when you make work? When you can really pin point that thing - that true motivator - then it won't matter what people say or don't say, because you will know deep in you roots that you were MADE to make art! If your journey needs a little more joy in it, then take a break from trying to achieve certain outcomes and just make a mess for a while. Play with colour combinations you've never tried before, or draw with your eyes closed. When you love making, again, you'll get absorbed by the technical side, and your work will improve on its own. Good luck - you've got this!
