/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Do you think it's a good idea?
For some context, I've been drawing ever since I discovered /ic/ two years ago, my progress has been so so, marginal (i can at least do a readable figure and construct most objects) due to study brain (only study, not finished pieces. I started working on comics a few months ago, i can make them more or less passable with heavy reference use using the instructions in Pic related book.

Now, i met an old acquaintance, who studies Illustration in my university (I'm a cs fag) obviously told her i now started practicing etc... And she invited me to join her drawing club, to share critique and all that

I accepted and, since I knew her kind of people were anime fans, i told her i was a bit busy and would join them in a future meeting.

I used this time to take one of the short stories I wrote (/lit/fag) and downloaded the OPM (always heard it has good art) and, with heavy reference use i managed to draw a so-so short story

And, even though it wasn't that good, when i showed it on the club the other day, i received quite a bit of praise, and well, I'm thinking of actually continuing making them (I'm still studying OPM) because, well, I'm starved for attention alright, after event i met three new people that actually talk to me

Yeah I know that sounds pathetic but I've been lonely for a long time he.

Would it be dishonest to keep making them even if I don't enjoy the medium? (Not in a disrespectful way, just not really interested)

I hope it was comprehensible
