Be grateful for all the art you receive
Whenever someone draws me anything I try my hardest to write a really appreciative comment, but truthfully I never feel like it’s enough. I always worry that I am coming off ungrateful! My other fear is that I might come off insincere.
It is actually really impossible for me to convey in words how sweet it is when someone draws me something. I know, for many people, it seems like it’s such a throwaway thing because it’s ‘just a picture’. But I think about the fact that someone had to sit down and spend their time on something solely for me. Time is something you never get back! Not to mention effort haha. Also, art is pretty personalised, especially if it’s something of your own, like a character.
I really love getting art for this reason & I always hope that people know that I appreciate it - even if it’s a gift, trade or commission, I really love it all the same and I appreciate all the time and effort that went into it!
