The first impression is internal. It's produced by what you feel when you create. That serene sensation of painting, coloring, writing. It's a powerful and seductive feeling. That's why writing, or painting, or whatever a true artist does (the world doesn't necessarily have to recognize your work), because you carry that compelling need to create with you everywhere. And then you're going to do it anyway. The biggest difference is that when you have someone to share your art with, it's doubly great.
