Don't be shy about reposting your art over and over again!!! You've put in the effort, and many people should see your thoughts and feelings! Especially since Tumblr feeds work like a train; people who follow you have plenty of other blogs that actively post, and when they visit at a certain time, your art might simply disappear down the list, and no one will scroll to it. Reposting makes it rise to the top! Then just remove repost later if you're embarrassed about your action. But it really helps (only the weakest will mistake your repost for spam)

online numbers can really fuck you up when it comes to your creative work because you're sharing something you worked on with all your heart but it's very important to remember there's actual people behind those numbers. even if it's 1. that's one whole actual person. that's a human being who said "haha nice". that's a connection with a REAL person with a REAL life and REAL thoughts and feelings and experiences. like. damn. that should mean something
