Exploring "Fun" Art: Why is it SO HARD to Make?

Fun art, personal art, personal projects, whatever you want to call it, making it hasn't exactly been a "fun" process for me over the years. I found myself in an interesting situation where I had a bit of free time AND a class in the pipeline so I knew I'd be safe messing around for a bit and that I wasn't just going to fall off the learning wagon and never get back on again and so...I started exploring the depths...of FUN ART. Thanks to everyone who participated in the January monthly art challenge on the Discord. It was amazing seeing everyone's progress and it really motivated me to work on my own! The current art challenge is doing FIGUARY so be sure to join if you'd like to participate!
