re: motivation
Thanks everyone who replied ;w; its refreshing to read about how other people keep motivated.. and I think, over time, motivations change and reasons change but in the end people enjoy to create.
a-startled-fart-deactivated2013 asked: I have no intention of a career either yet I strive for better. It's because of the responses I get of "This is great!" and then I'm like "NOT REALLY. LEMME GET BETTER" so I keep pushing and, for this reason alone and I don't care how selfish it is, I draw for reactions from people who want to see my stuff. Because you can't draw for yourself.

feelings after typical trip to conceptart.org
GOOD GOD i suck LOL…………….
i love browsing the wip/critique section because i like seeing how people fix images to make them look 10x better, and then i try to avoid whatever mistakes they fixed or whatever. some day i’ll have the guts to post something on CA… @_@
so i’ve had the struggle with art style for the longest time (and i still dunno wtf...
motivation?
I posted this on DA but I’ll post here as well - what keeps you all motivated to keep creating art?
Some people love art, a lot Some people have dreamt of being an artist and want to make it a reality Some people just have fun with it etc
Particularly interested in responses from people who keep art as a hobby and/or have no intention of making it a career (freelancing included)....

User experience?
Anyone on tumblr/twitter in the UX field? Looks interesting but I’m not exactly sure what they do… so I have a bunch of questions if anyone wants to answer them. :D
Since I don’t have any trips planned this summer I’m on a hunt for interesting internships related to my field (front-end web dev) but not really, just so I can have more perspective on whats out there so I...

art preferences?
i’m curious what type of art everyone prefers (since art is fairly subjective, well to an extent)
