I felt like I should make this journal since a lot of time has passed and the sorting of the Paint Chat Canvases has left me exhausted.
For the past couple of weeks I've been really questioning why I am spending so much time painstakingly sorting these old drawings to make sure which ones are actually uploaded. It's been so long ago that I've honestly forgotten what drawings I have actually made. On top of that, I feel like most of the drawings don't really matter to me personally anymore. I feel that I'm only really doing all of this sorting because I feel like I have to "give back" to all of the people when I nuked my content from tumblr and deviantart.
I feel like I'm doing all this sorting because of this obsessive urge to preserve everything I have ever interacted with, and I think I need to stop that behavior.
I guess the question I have for everyone is, does anyone really even care about the paint chat canvases? If nobody actually cares about the paint chat canvases, I feel like I really should just start deleting the canvases that I don't personally care about anymore and stop treating every single chicken scratch drawing equally to everything else.
Why not just simply dump sketch work and incomplete stuff into a general 'scraps' folder? No particular sorting to it. Just a simple dump.
I think it's worth posting the old canvases of things you enjoy greatly and maybe cut the ones you think are just OK or worse. It could help you cut down on posting anything and everything, and it would leave you only with pieces that you are more fond of. Granted, I know deciding "this is good enough to post" vs. "this isn't good enough to post" can be hard and might be conflicting, but I think being able to cut some out and seeing that no one is upset with that would be healthy.
