Art Machine, trying to be a person

man, I know folks leaving my Patreon is almost always about their finances and such and not about being disappointed in me as an artist, but when I lose ten bucks of support in only a couple days, it's hard to not think about what I'm doing wrong :v

I just feel like in general, I'm pretty happy where I am with the "artist" part of "online artist"! I have a decent grip of how to draw things, I have a lot of fun with what I do for others and myself, and overall, it's a great time.

The "online" part escapes my grasp, though. I have no idea how to appeal to a wider audience, I'm really bad at attracting folks to my work, I don't know how to advertise myself or anything, so I'm just kinda floundering around! The people I started my art journey with are all doing so well in this regard, there's always new artists who show up and in a month have tens of thousands of eyes on them, and it's hard feeling like I've plateaued with no way to progress in that area.

But also I can't worry about that too long - I've got big folks to draw :3
