    Yeah I get the feeling the kid has. When you spend hours making something and the only thing you get is 2 likes, it hurts a bit inside

      Remember that social media numbers messed up our perception;

      Imagine 5 people looking at your drawing and saying “woah, cool” now imagine 10, 15 and 20
      It’s a LOT more than people think

        Yeah fair enough. I do my art out of passion and because I want to, so I try to not worry about those things.

        Although it kinda is hard sometimes, even more when you have fellow artist friends that do a lot better than you in the social game. That does make people jealous
