Life's A Chibi: Create What You Love
It doesn't have to be perfect. You can point out all of it's flaws. It look crappy compared to others. Your technique could be wrong. You could have used the wrong materials. But as long as you look upon your creation and connect with it on a personal level and feel proud of it, than you know that no matter what anyone else says, you know you created something that you yourself believes is perfect, flawless, and speaks only to you.

I too easily forget to like what I work on, like many people, I'm too focused on trying to be 'perfect' and that in itself is a discussion for another time and place.
It can be easy to forget to try and like what you're doing, to sometimes accept that what you may do sometimes may not be up to a standard, but not to beat yourself up (too much) for it. It's easy to forget if and when others offer their comments. Sometimes it's meant to helpful, sometimes it can be.
Other times it can come off as more hurtful and discouraging than what might have been intended (or perhaps as some means to make that person grow a 'thicker skin') or something else.
I and others forget too easily, to sometimes simply enjoy what you're doing, even if it may not be so great. To ...have fun.
I feel like both the images,and the caption put that across well.

You draw such adorable little motivational things.
Ever think of doing a little calendar or book?

I'm like that with my characters. Which is why it kills me when I see people whoring out their characters for profit. They're like my children. Children that done come out of my mind.
I'd like to relate to this one, but while I LOVE drawing, I HATE the result because it never feels up to standards.
I love this image more than words can express!
makes me want to make my black dolly -xo

Ur right, i pretty much bought nerfie, and i love him the way he is, sure he has some flaws, but...i love him ;w; that's what counts, there are things which take time to work on and that you love, by example, the houses i built in Minecraft, i am proud of my work.
I feel like alot of artists who beat themselves up can benefit from this! :D
These insparational posts are what give me faith in humanity, they really bring a huge joy to my heart and really make me think.
That message was just so touching and perfect :'''''') Those are some very powerful words there :'''''')
This one really resonated with me. You're doing a good thing with all of these little motivationals.
BTW, sat across from you at booth 21 during Furnal Equinox, all your merch looked really good!

Reminds me of why I had to stop drawing for a few weeks and find why I loved it again. It stopped being something I made, and started being something engineered for others.
You put a bit of yourself into your creations. Let them live.
I dabbled in similar things when I was young, repaired a dog-plush I found on the front lawn where a real dog had abandoned it, sewed up the ragged holes with irregular hand-stitching and replaced an ear with scraps from my mother's quilt scraps. Still have the thing somewhere too, really should get back into doing some sewing, I'll need the practice for reupholstering the seats for my old VW Beetles! Have to do a bit of of cleaning/oiling/repair on my grandmother's sewing machine before I can use it though...
Cute image and good message, no matter what you create it wouldn't have existed without you, and that's kinda special!

This really is a nice thing to experience. I can relate to this, this piece really should be shared and shown to others who struggle. :)
Beautiful words in an adorable comic.
I'll be taking this to heart. :3

Middle School, Home economics, making a stuffed animal for sewing.
I made a flannel lizard, and I put the buttons for eyes different sizes, and put them at separate points. I loved Home Improvement at the time (I still do), and I called him "Psycho Al."
Everyone thought the right eye on my lizard was the nose. I didn't care, it was special, and when I think about it, I kind of miss my little flannel lizard.

It's been almost a year, and this comic still touches my heart.
