Seeking validation for your work is a surefire way to never do anything creative in your life. You have to believe in your creative choices and there ability to find their own audience. People in your direct contact might not give a shit about your work, or even hate it. You have to have confidence that your work is good, because it's the only thing you can guarantee.

This isn't an excuse to blame your inadequacies in technical skills on people having shit opinions. You need to develop and refine your taste so that you can spot mistakes you make. However, at the end of the day, when you have skills that are developed and can create great pieces, if your friends in your direct contact still only passively say "nice" or "great" without any further words, maybe you need to accept that they don't have a taste for creative work like you do, and maybe they have more important shit in their lives that they care about than making sure they are taking care of your inferiority complex for you.

Go out there, make great stuff, share it PUBLICLY, and you'll find an audience that gives a shit eventually, no matter what you're drawing. If you only draw once a month, and share what you've done with the same person every time, that's not an artist; that's an attention beggar. Get a dog.
