Does being emotionally invested in art makes it better?
Whenever I draw things that I'm not emotionally invested in they come out looking much better than those which I do.
I believe that this is because I can just cut and delete and edit without caring too much about the subject. I can see it more objectively. I believe that this is why doctors are discouraged to treat family members.

I tend to procrastinate a lot when I draw something that I really care about. Something too personal. It feels painful.
So ideally I would just be more detached right?
But how would you feel if a piece of art that has really changed you and affected you turned out to be nothing but a cold mechanical process? Something that the artist didn't really cared about. Wouldn't you feel betrayed?
I don't want to give those kinds of feelings to the audience.
What's you attitude towards this Anons?

Fuck you.
Having personal or emotional investment is what drives me forward in my art.
When I make something personal, the stakes are higher. The piece or subject now has meaning that I connect to directly. And when the stakes are higher, I tend to put more effort into it. My person is in that art. Failure will hurt much more, as the art now has a part of me in it. Success will feel even sweeter though, as the accomplishment and victory is both an artistic one as well as one of personal growth.
That is just me though.
