Dear Diary,
My name's Isabela, I'm 18 and I'm from Poland <3.
I have been drawing since I was a kid, many adults told me that I have a talent for it so I continued practicing. I started digital art when I discovered the Gacha Community. To be honest I really liked it because it was the beginning of this community.
For me, posting my artworks on social media has been a really long journey. It started from drawing those Gacha OC's to even animations and more advanced drawings. I was really inspired by this community and artists. I just LOVED those silly animations, beautiful OC's and I wanted those big artists to notice me. I had my own TikTok account where I had almost 10k followers. However I deleted it because of my mental health.
Likes and numerical figures do mess with my head a lot. I was really upset when I couldn't get as many likes as for example my most recent video. Even though my account was big, I felt that I'm not enough. When my drawings didn't get many likes I was really flustered. That's one of few things that led to deleting my account.
However, now that I'm older I can accept the fact that I have to grow first. I’ve learned that the value of my art doesn't depend on the number of likes! The realisation was a huge lesson for me!
I think growing my account and also looking at these big accounts with beautiful artworks motivates me to keep creating. Looking at different styles and drawings really helps me boost my creativity! Another motivational thing might just simply be my love for creating; I just have so many ideas!
If my art had a message? Hm… That's a tough one haha! It may seem that my art doesn't really have a message; BUT, my drawings look different, they have different styles and I think this is the message. To try new things! I love trying, experimenting with styles and it really helps with art blocks! :)
This is all for now,
Until next time!
Isabela
