in my opinion, you can make art for attention because you want to be validated!! as long as you love what you're doing, it's perfectly fine to make art in order to get validation!! don't push yourself too hard, but if you make it because you love it, and because it gives you serotonin when someone compliments you, by all means! go wild! make your art, get your compliments, we love you! for some of us, we need that boost. that compliment can make our day that much better. some of us don't get validated at home, at school, at work, we get the opposite. you DESERVE that compliment! make your art! but don't forget, it's for you to love and them to enjoy :]
