Man that was way more depressing than I thought it would be. :( Starts so happy; harmonious; that burst of inspiration that never seems to end... I thought it wouldn't stop until the canvas is complete! With a stream of artistry radiating out into the cosmos...! Or something. Was thinking the guy looked almost too happy in the beginning, but when it was over it didn't seem enough... maybe there'd be better places to plant your easel and delve into that ceaseless creative realm without distraction?

Was also a bit surprised the markers were stored with the point facing upward, but makes sense. they would be if they're really being used... nice work. Would've liked to see what mastery this would've turned into if those guys hadn't stepped in and stopped it, but them feels. They come across.

Idk who's been sending you those messages or is giving you that impression, but I wouldn't focus on those people's "opinion" too much. Like you said, you had fun making this, and that's what counts.
If other people wanna be dicks about expressing their own opinion, it's probably because their either trying to mask their own insecurity, or they're literally too stupid to give any kind of constructive feedback (whether the feedback expresses why something is good or bad).
Keep practicing your craft, and one day you'll be able to show'em who's boss.

very nice animation

It has not ever happened to me, but it looks great!
