@Pixalisk@mastodon.art Thank YOU for such kind words! I'm glad my silly little caption has sparked some actual human interaction :bolbheart:
I feel like critique has always been difficult in online art communities; especially in written form when you can read the thing over and over obsessively and over-analyze even the shortest of comments. I personally try to highlight the best / most eyecatching aspect of someone's work when commenting, but it's very easy to just fall into generic compliments and jokes

@milla@mastodon.art Exactly. Putting something online that you put heart and effort into does put you into a vulnerable position, and even a well-meaning comment is easily taken the wrong way. But receiving no reaction at all is frustrating, especially if it was something that you are particularly proud of.

@milla@mastodon.art If I may ask, how do you pick what to draw in your daily doodles? Do you have a plan, a list with interesting things that gets filled on occasion, or do you pick each day? I would imagine that if I would do the latter, I would take far too much time picking a motif.
