Selling my art as a teenager really killed my passion for it. I don't want to draw anymore because it feels like work.
#worrying about metrics and exposure also ruined my love of it#i cant draw anymore without thinking about posting it to tumblr and then worrying about if people will even see it#trying to optimize my posting time#i have tried.. for 4 years.#nothing has brought my passion or love for drawing back.#if youre a teenager#do NOT try to monotize ur hobbies#it kills them almost every time#you cant live off commission money it is so much work especially for someone with such little experience#you have to manage EVERYTHING#its not just drawing you have to do customer service you have to advertise you have to manage multiple projects#all while trying not to burn out#dude it sucks..#i will never get that passion back.#i will never love drawing as much as i did when i was 16
