First time sharing! This started as a random doodle and the ideas began flowing. Excited to see where i take it.

Some frivolous image making today. I am working on a narrative piece on the side, but then I got another rejection and felt too dejected to finish it today, and decided to just do something light and easy instead. Anyone else dealing with rejections? Any tips for how to cope with them (apart from painting ballerina bears)?

I have been busy the last few months finishing my doctorate. I finally have time to art. I am teaching a unit on watercolor and I am rusty. I challenged myself to complete the assignment I gave my students. Here is my interpretation of the prompt, ”Winter.” It is traditional watercolor.

I may edit digitally just for funsies.

@Mia-Clarke I got about four rejections this past month from people I didn’t even remember querying lol, we gotta just keep moving forward and putting ourselves out there. It’ll happen someday when we least expect it. Love the bear ballerina. I always just assume it’s a no so I’m never really that disappointed.‍️

[Mia Clarke]

@Asyas_illos Thank you for sharing, Asya, it means a lot. I think I've been feeling like I'm the only one getting rejected, and it's been getting to me lately. I'll try to adopt your way of assuming it's a no from jump, hopefully that'll make the nos easier when they come in.

This had me literally laughing out loud @braydin-hawlette!

[Jeremy Ross]

Cute piece @Mia-Clarke!

Yes, I’ve been rejected many-many-many times! Twice in November so far, lol.

Maybe if I keep trying I will finally break in, before I die. Lol

[Jeremy Ross]

Awesome @Jeremiahbrown! I need to make one now!

Closest piece I have is the playground springy horse.

@Mia-Clarke Just love how your illos are so textural quiet and moody!

[Mia Clarke]

@Larue Thank you, Laure! I worry that my illos are not fun enough, so it’s nice to get another angle to that same thought.

[Mia Clarke]

@Jeremy-Ross What??? I love your work, whoever rejected you must be blind.

[Jeremy Ross]

Thank you @Mia-Clarke! Means a lot, but I take it as I sign that I’m not ready or that I just haven’t found an agent which resonates with my work.

If you build it, they will come, lol.

[Chantal Goetheer]

@Jeremy-Ross @Asyas_illos @Mia-Clarke you all make such great pieces! I only hope one day in the far future I become as good as you. Keep at it, it has to happen one day, because your art rocks! And I could picture it easily in a book.

[Jeremy Ross]

You are too kind @Chantal-Goetheer! ️️️

LOL I Love Slowvember, definitely looking forward to it after Inktober and Folktale week...

[burvantill]

@Mia-Clarke Put up a countdown of at least 50 markers to check off for each rejection. Don't allow yourself to get blue until after you've received at least 50. I would recommend 100 just to keep yourself sane. Lol
Then buckle down and work harder.
Good luck
