Hey guys I just have something to say and I'd really like if people read this. In high school, when I actually started drawing and liking it, I did it because I had art class and I'd practice at home and post some of them on here. So I had a sketchbook of really bad art and some good-ish ones. I was showing my friends in school a time and they laughed at my attempts, and then there was a time I randomly drew something and showed it to another group of friends and they laughed as well. Even though I didn't let it show, it affected me. I haven't drawn/practice in like 3 years and it sucks because in those three years I could've grown my skills
