You know as I started here, after being asked, I did with a co-writer. Everyone left, I stayed.
The past years weren't easy.true artists are rarely liked by the average person, although they are the ones colouring life.

It is hard to be accepted, liked, receive upvotes and it can be a very lonely platform if there's no single comment. So try to connect asap and invest in people who can help you and give tips and upvotes and be close those art and artists. Together being noticed is easier than alone.

This platform had many rules and unwritten laws, which always can be ignored, but the fear some experience to be ignoted or downvoted or never an uovote is real.
In the past years I yried to fight many of those nonsense "rules" frequently set by a handful of people.

If it comes to art, crrativity you can do as you like, but if you want to be liked ir receive upvotes from steem curator teams certain rules should be followed and most of all: your name should be known or visible.
The steemcuratir accounts are never (well ofgicially) run by the same people.

Still, I do believe that if you and your art is known there will always be someone who will vote for you.

I assume you know the late artist Yayoi Kusama?
Matisse is also interesting.

Good to hear your eyes do not hurt. If it comes to "not possible" to do it wrong I have my doubts. I mean you still add shadows and portraits are sketched first or?

Is it good for the mood?

I wish you fun on Steemit.
