9. Art/Artists

• https://e621.net/forum/show/198347
• >Whether you want people (aside from yourself) to enjoy your art is a question that each individual artist must answer. For most artists, it's rewarding and motivating when people enjoy their work. But for many artists, people enjoying their work is definitely not *the point*. It may be to understand X better, practice a technique, achieve a better result than last time, simply communicate your thoughts on a subject, or for a professional, simply get the job done well enough and move on.
• People also typically have standards for -how- their work should be enjoyed. Acknowledging the artist as a person and writing a comment expressing your appreciation of the specific merits of their work, is immeasurably better than simply getting lost in the wank inside your own head. The latter tells them very little about the quality of the artwork, and a lot about you.
