Communities to share... Bad. Like, REALLY bad drawings and ask how can I improve them?
I will NOT use ArtShare, I'm not good enough of an artist. Hell, I can't even be called an artist.

Sucking at something is the first step to being sorta good at something
Share your “bad” art! If the moderators are worth anything, they’ll push back on anyone just calling your stuff trash. Posting your “worst” is the best way to get honest feedback and get better.
There’s no such thing as a “real” artist. Just look at Jackson Pollack if you want inspiration for what can and can’t be considered art.
Being bad for 7 years may be a signal that my condition is... different.
Still don’t let that stop you. One man’s trash is another man’s period piece. I genuinely mean this. A good example of “bad” art (not an insult to the artist!) is the stuff put out by unix_surrealism. Not stuff you’d ever see being taught in a school or by an art tutor, but I love looking at the stuff they put out.
Seriously. Just share. It’s ArtShare. Not OnlyYourBestArtShare.
Alright, don't say I warned you.
That’s not bad! Helluva a lot better than I could do without a few years of practice. I wouldn’t worry so much. You might be falling into the trap of comparing your work to others. Compare your own work to your early work and I can’t imagine you won’t find progress there.
You’re doing just fine. Keep at it and don’t be afraid to share more! The only way to get feedback is to share and from a non-drawer perspective, this is plenty good for someone who thinks their art is “bad.” :)
Still not enough to be considered an artist or on the level of the ArtShare members.
