#like what is real art. why isn't the cutesy manga unique and creative art but the portrait of a face in greyscale is.

my creative ideas have always felt so stifled i keep thinking what i do with my art and things i enjoy isn't enough and it's been this way since i was out of the fun parts of childhood making art because i just loved cute and happy things. i'm excepting myself to make something grand and unique and astounding to be "real art" and i discredit everything else i make at this age, my head is so....

#like what is real art. why isn't the cutesy manga unique and creative art but the portrait of a face in greyscale is. #i need to be free i'm in a prison with bars i keep repairing its sick in the head #my oc art is still art to me!!!!! i don't want anything to ever take that away from me but even with that i feel bad that so many of my ocs #are simply just plain people. everyday ppl. my fantasy ocs are people with powers #my favs i always draw my a.s crew is literally just everyday people #for years and years i felt bad that i didn't have ocs that were like animal hybrids or fancy fantasy ocs with complicated lore about their #bodies or just non-human ocs that don't even look romtely human #why can't i allow myself to have fun and be able to SHOW THAT FUN PUBLICLY
