Very cool! Your art is amazing i don’t see why you get hate! If you really enjoy creating art you should continue, don’t listen to hate! The people on the forum are very sweet you just have to support other artist and they’ll support you back!

Not getting a lot of likes is not the same as hate.

In a forum like this, the number of likes is often directly related to the number of members one has a relationship with. Like and comment on others’ work, get to know them, and you’ll see more activity on your posts.

Your art is super good!! Please post more, I’m begging you 
About Reddit, that place is extremely weird. Bots or other people will often downvote just to make sure their post is seen rather than yours - it’s a really petty place.
The timing of your posts also matters as well - someone with a similar amount of connections as you could post something that looks exactly the same a few hours later and they could be showered with likes.
tl;dr social media sucks big time, it’s better to focus more on making friends with fellow artists (and potential clients if you plan on doing commissions) instead.

In my own humble opinion, popularity/upvotes has very little to do with the amount of efforts put into the artwork. That is more to do with people/social skill, knowing the target audience and being loud (hopefully in a good way).
Take some time off. If you still keep drawing, more than likely you love the activity of making drawings. But if you only miss the interaction after making a post, the drawing part might not be as important so you could try doing something else to support the social media activity.
I quit drawing twice in the past, I also entered competition quite a bit, I think I rarely get votes, had no friends to support me for this kind of stuff nor my skill is at the top to make the jury notice my artwork. Decided since then I’d just draw for myself or for few people I know. I also have other reasons that I couldn’t put down my pen for too long.
Take some time off, rethink some stuff. Hopefully you’ll get some clue on what to do for the future once you have some time to clear your mind.
Hope this helps

This is like… not a healthy way to think about it. I know, because I was like you once. The early art sites, when I was young, almost all had a rating system and it was terrible what it could do to someones mind. There was a time where I hated my own artworks more than anyone probably did, and it’s hard to get out of this mindset, once you are in it.
There is a reason why a lot of websites with user created content moved away from these systems. Now, from all the art sites I use, only one still has a rating system where you can give stars from 1 to five, and one star is still a like.
Ignoring my personal opinion about why reddit is a cesspool for the most toxic users for a moment, perhaps you should stick with your art to dedicated art websites with fellow artists and art enjoyers. But even on a website with downvotes, a downvote/dislike is still far from hate. I have some neighbors I don’t like and wouldn’t go to a party with, even when they paid me to, but that doesn’t mean I hate them. A dislike can mean a lot of things from “I don’t like this” over “not my taste” to “I liked your other works better”. Unless someone is going out of their way to write you in the comments that they hate you, they don’t. And even if someone does this, you should simply ignore those people (or report them if they are violating website rules or law (like threatening you)).
Most importantly you should not make yourself down and assume the worst about your own works. This is a slippery slope to bad mental health. I know, I was there and it was so bad I only got out of it with therapy. And even more so, don’t do this on the internet, you will attract bullies and people who only want the worst for you.

We tend to assume things. No one saw or commented on my post or drawing? So I assume no one liked it or even hated it.
Are these the only reasons? No: I myself spent years looking at blogs and works without giving a single like or comment, simply because… I didn’t have that habit, I only recently acquired it. This happens to many people…

when you got not that many likes (or even 0 still) and call that a hate you are taking away the attention from the real hate with a real threats to other artists. words have meaning behind them. please don’t do this and clear your mind. it’s not healthy for you and for other people
besides that many other famous artists in history hadn’t even been recognized as artists until some time after their death. it is a common thing for artists to not get attention for some or other reason. the sooner you accept that the better it will be for your mental state

Ha, this turned into a very interesting self-help thread 
Yeah, I want to say Krita-Artists is probably too small of a forum to really look at likes as a sign of anything. With this type of things there are so many factors, and the quality of the work may not be the most impactful. The timing, preferences of the users, whether they know you or not, all that contributes to it.
I wouldn’t use this forum to “farm” the following, it could be a small bonus, but primarily it’s the place to reach other artists and get artistic input. At least that’s my approach to it.
If you want to look at numbers still, I would look at the ratio of impressions vs likes or other form of “engagement” (comments, reactions, reposts, etc.). If it is low, it could mean a lot of things, but possibly that the work does not meet the technical standard this particular group of viewers is expecting, or that it didn’t resonate with them (didn’t made them feel anything). But again, it probably doesn’t mean too much if only a few people saw your work (too small a sample size).
But as it was said, the best approach to just not think about it at all and focus on yourself. Improve your craft, try to get slightly better than you were yesterday, or a month ago. You are your own benchmark. Don’t compare yourself to others, that’s a path of frustration and toxicity.

Hey internet stranger I really like this artwork of yours and all the other works you created in your portfolio. It’s original and creative, your line work is amazing and I am always amazed how artists manage to create original content. In my opinion you are very skilled! So it actually makes me quite sad that you feel that way, because I wish I could draw original content like you. The internet can be such a toxic and overwhelming place that pushes you to compare yourself to others. I also often feel like likes/upvotes not necessarily reflect the amount of work put into a drawing nor the quality of it and the feedback from a friend or fellow artist is worth so much more. but I understand how intoxicated it can be to receive a high response to your creations and how that easily becomes the only measure for you of your skillset. Like others wrote here, if you like drawing, I hope you continue because you are incredibly good and most of all I hope you learn to draw for yourself <3
