I hate when people say really horrible things about my artwork. I can take criticism but when someone says something thats actually really mean and hurtful....

Because I actually worked really hard on it. I know Im not that good yet but I really am trying and I practice a lot. For someone to just put me down like that...I try not to take it personally but...I actually feel really embarrassed. For showing it off to my friends and family, while I thought I did a good job. When in reality, my picture is comical. It makes me wonder if my parents and friends thought the same things as my negative viewer did. Its been a long time since I've had this feeling of wanting to give up art entirely...but it was definitely brought back to me today

I know. I know. I'll try not to let it influence me.
