i'm going on a long hiatus and possibly quiting this place for good, i've moved to storm artists.

someone on there made me realize something, i've let this place get to me, the lack of comments and views. the thing is those don't really matter if i draw a picture and i'm proud of it and i post it and it gets no attention that shouldn't affect how i feel about it, i should just be thankful i could draw it when the rest of my family can't draw to save their lives.

comments and views shouldn't have got me this down where i couldn't even look at my art anymore, because the only opinion that really matters in the end is mine.

but still the damage that's been do has been done and those several years i stopped cannot be changed, and the fact that in that time i forgot what drawing for fun was about cannot be reversed. but this is my doing i let this get to me and i shouldn't of.

i should remind myself every day that i got to the level i got to with no help, i am and always been completely self taught, and this is something i should be proud of and not to look at another self taught person i go "look how much better they are then me" because we could have different learning curves mine just may be a bit steeper then others, or they could have started drawing ages before me. that's because we all are different.

now i need to do some deep soul searching to find that will to draw once again, i may come back and i may not. and i think judging by alot of comments i have read that alot of others need to as well.

i frequently see the line "that's way better then i could do" alot and an artist including me shouldn't have to say that because how can we compare one style to another, like realism to cartoons because they are so different, and each style of cartoon varies as well.

now if i get banned for this revelation of mine so be it, but i know i'm right.
