/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I will never be able to mention my lewd art to anyone outside of the internet. I was talking to my brother and offhandedly mentioned something about censorship of anime characters and skirts and he immediately tried to bully me about me wanting to fuck fictional characters. So i guess ill be drawing in secret forever. Why are normies like this? Why can't they accept things that are different? I'm afraid to make any irl friends because everyone is so damn judgmental.

I'm not really sure if I like art. I'm kinda only doing this because I've always drawn, not because I love/appreciate art. I THINK i want to be a commission artist, but don't know if I'm capable of marketing myself. At least that's what I think I'm in college for...
Working a 9-5 for 40 years just sounds so mindless, and I'd rather do something that I can be creative with. My Mom is trying to convince me to work at her job where she's been for 40 years. I don't even want to consider it, because I know I'll get too comfortable and just settle. But I also don't qualify for any non biggershit jobs, and a art degree surely isn't going to fix that.
I have no clear goal in mind with art or in life atm. Maybe I'm just depressed.

How much does getting good/improvement mean to you?

I've been dedicating the last 10 months to drawing and improving my general funsimentals, but still have the mind set that my art isn't good enough to show around. But then I see other people with objective low skill levels get praise from normies, and it just makes me think. Is there really a point in improving my work?
Does proper anatomy, lighting, and backgrounds really matter if the general public doesn't understand nor care? Or does this mindset lead to more low quality art on the internet?
