draw anxiety with my oc's outfit refrence is in my gallery

*sigh*
Sure, I guess.
(Nobody is ever gonna notice my feelings. That's what gonna happen. I'm so lonely.)

@AlolaSpheal
Yeah. Hehe
(OH MY GOD!!!! This is gonna go on forever. @AlolaSpheal litterally liked this post. She didn't say a single thing to me a how sad I am. I hate myself so much.)

you're definitely good enough to be on here, don't say that
if you leave you'll never get to the level of skill you hope to be on.
im sorry you feel that way

@Echohere You don't have to worry about me. If I DO quit, I can just get a devianart sccount nd draw on there. I don't need the skill because apperantly A DRAWING I SPENT 2 WHOLE HOURS ON STILLONLY HAS ONE LIKE AFTER A DAY!!! Even then, I'm still not good enough. I don't feel appreciated for any reason.
Someone give me a literal reason why I should stay without giving me more sadness.

so likes is what you care about?

if likes is how you judge if your art is good then maybe staying here isnt the best option for you.
really drawing doesn't seem to be the best option for you at least not online.
you shouldn't draw for the attention it gives you
you should draw what makes you happy
if you're happy drawing then likes shouldn't matter

if you want more likes try befriending people
make actual conversation i dont mean just leave a comment saying their picture is great and expecting them to immediately befriend you and like all of your pictures
talk to them, draw for them, say nice things
then they'll follow you and their friends will do the same

but that shouldnt be your motivation for having friends
getting friends on here is encouraging growth in both of you and making you both happier

@Echohere Likes aren't the only thing that matters. Sometimes, it's just about creativity, and effort, and coolness, and stuff like that. I'm still not sure if I could sta here. I mean, I like drawing and cybernetically interacting with people, but sometimes, I don't feel like a person. I don't feel like people pay attention to the effort I put into the things I do. I wanna stay here, but at the same time, I don't wanna stay. I really can't choose.

if all you care about is the likes and 'oh poor me i worked on this and nobody liked it' then you're obviously not gonna be happy here
if that's all you care about then i really cant think of a good reason you should stay

@Echohere And I've befriended a lot of people and made conversations with them from time to time. I did everything you just listed off. I try anything I can but am still unsuccessful in every way, shape, or form.

@Echohere And I just said likes aren't the only thing I care about. I don't think my hard work is worth it half the time and it makes me a bit upset.

i don't know
that sounds less like a problem with colors and more like something about you
try finding what makes you feel like a person

i get that
time and effort dont always pay off and im sorry
but that's kinda just life dude

@Echohere I don't know if there is anything.
If you count my talents, progressions, happiness, autism, creativity, helpfuless, hobbies, friends, and more, than I can't find anything. Btw, this IS A ME PROBLEM. I'm autistic, which is why I think nobody likes me. Because of who I am.

@Echohere I don't feel you. It makes me upset when I work so hard on something and it becomes a worthless thing that shouldn't have been brought in this world.

believe me it's not because you're autistic

if you let that be the deciding factor of who you are the reason you think you're not growing then you're not gonna get very far.
that is something about you that wont change
it is a part of you
you can let it be the excuse as to why you think you're not thriving here or you can use it to drive you and your work forward

from how i've talked to you, you seem high-functioning
i have no doubt you're an amazing person and i hope other people see that

@Echohere You know what, your right. Maybe I am a person in life after all.

my oc?

i hav other autistic friends and let me tell you they are some of the greatest people i've met
the fact that your brain works differently than mine makes you no less of a person and in fact it most likely gives you a different view than everyone else sees
let that drive your creativity not weigh it down

good luck bro
(ps ive been looking through your gallery and you are definitely talented believe me. though it doesn't get attention it looks amazing and definitely should)
:]

@Theformerdq10 I don't know you. I don't know what your oc is. But I'll check your gallery and draw it.

@Echohere Thank you for the kind words. I ver much so appreciate it. I've met a lot of autistic people myself that aren't like me. We might not know each other that well, but we have a lot of things in common from what I've gained. Do you wanna be friends or something?

yeah i'd like that, thanks :]

@Echohere No prob. Do you have any drawing requests?

eh no ty
from the looks of all the people you tagged it sounds like it's gonna be a handful
do you have anything you want me to draw though?

@Echohere If you want to, could you draw me a shiny Mew and tag the drawing with #ForCyry1029 pls?

alright ill try later :]

@chaya1233 Maybe.
@Echohere Alright, thank you.

You're a good artitst and belong here. If you loos motivation just doodle what ever. I think its just a vibe thats been going around since I haven't felt motivated either. If you want a suggestion on what to draw try doodling facial expresstions or stick figures, and when you either get more motivated or want to finish it youll naturally add onto it and complete it. Other than doodling or practicing I dont know what else.

@AlolaSpheal Thank you so much!!! You don't have to apologize if you forgot to try to comfort me. I'm probably gonna do your cheese block headed Spheal next becuase of that message. I was gonna go in order, but NOT ANYMORE!!!! lol :)

I'm sorry you've been feeling that way. I'm sorry I can't do more to help. But I am glad you talked to EchoHere. You have a lot of people that care about you. I'm jealous

My thoughts: You are amazing, both as a person and as an artist. You are more than good enough to be here!

What I would do in that situation is to keep trying. Those negative feelings only become true if you let them. I wanna be a better artist too, so I try again. (not sure if this helps but I'll try)

I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles and can totally understand the lack of motivation on a personal level. But I totally agree with everyone else here in that you definitely deserve to be on here and that you art is worth every second put into it! You are an even more wonderful person who has been welcoming and kind to me in the short time i've been here.

As for some ideas and inspiration, I'll just throw some random thoughts out here and hopefully you'll like some...
>hippopatos with a sandcastle
>munna and musharna
>swadloon with pillows and blankets (it just looks like it needs the comfort XD)
>heliolisk
>polteagheist and sinistea with new and original designs/colours?
>lapras on a misty lake??

@MentalMinty Thank you so much for the drawung requests and the amazing help!!! I very much so appreciate the kindness and giving you show towards me in a lot of my drawings. You have been one of my favorite artists for this reason and more. I think we all have the same problems on Colors Live, I can agree. I appreciate the drawing ideas. I will try out one or two of these sometime in the future. Do you have a gift tag or something I could put in the drawings I make for you?

My personal advice is that it never does any good to leave colors or at least announce doing so :P I just come and go whenever i feel like drawing :) Best of luck my friend!! lmk if you branch out to other places so i can support u!

@ponopzop That's great. Sometimes, I just have the urge to leave Colors Live because I lose motivation so oftenly. I don't want to leave anymore, though, I'm doing better now.

@lydia1027 I'll draw an Eevee eventually. I haven't been posting a lot to talk, but I'm still here.

dont leave

is just returned

i*

@soniceeveelution2 I know.

thanks :)

ok so im super late-
BUT PLS DONT LEAVE :(
ive run out of motivation too, but i really hope youll stay anyways.
i realy like your art- your very talented! and OFC you are good enough to be here!!
there are artists who draw STICKFIGURES on here! everyones art is good, and DIFFERENT!
to say you 'dont compare' is like comparying apples to oranges!
both are fantastic and neither are similar! :'D
i hope youll stay id really miss you!

@ArtisanLydi I wasn't going to leave. I'm starting to regain the motivation to keep drawing and stop giving up with things like that. I appreciate the kindness and concern, though. I would miss you, too, if I had left, that is.

oh thank goodness!! XD
i would really have hated to see you leave!!
im glad you got some motivation back! :'D

oooh oooh ooh me me!
@cyry1029
