Sounds like an okay idea, I just get so nervous showing my art.

No need to be nervous, everything will be fine. When I first decided to publish my art, I was nervous too, but everything went well

[Inferno23 36]

Yeah, it’s something  I get really nervous about because my mother told me a long time ago that it sucked even though I’ve only ever had one art class with her that lasted for a couple days. These pieces arent pony related, but because of her indifference and my insecurities I ended up just throwing away everything and never showed my work to anyone.

Bro no fucking way, these are amazing! Your mum should have been proud because I certainly would have been if a child of mine showed me these  I think a few of us have had abusive parents/partners/friends on here so I think people understand :<

Thank you friend.. I appreciate your kindness. I just wish I had somebody to tell me that a back in 2012.

Abusive parents, no social life because I was homeschooled, and broke as hell, I just wanted some type of way to get my name out there and get some recognition.

I don’t wanna hate the two who raised me, but every time I got hit by one of them it only cemented my feelings. When I have time to remember how things used to be I get sad because I lost what little bit of hope I had for my success. Maybe one day I can be big enough to make art for people and be famous for it, but for right now my hope is hanging on by a thread.

Those are really good! The texturing and shading is excellent.

Trust me... I really, deeply know the feeling you described. 

I am in full agreement with people here though, it's super impressive when people get so skilled and so young

I’m finally finishing the series with my better half and I’ve been feeling a little better about my art. I just wished that life hadn’t gone so sour so I could actually enjoy my teenage years and keep up with what I enjoyed. It’s just crazy that I went from being part of a community that encouraged and inspired me to do better, to just dropping it all. What’s causing me so much grief are all the regrets of giving up.

[Inferno23 36]

Sorry to keep on about it, I’ve just kept stuff in and never let it out. My subconscious is telling me that it’s over and I’m too late, what I want to draw is irrelevant. Even now it’s telling me to stop and that I’ve failed, the dream is gone. Tonight I’m gonna keep drawing while finishing season 6, thank you for letting rant, and thank you for not judging. /)

That's actually really good! Did you use a tortillon?

[Inferno23 36]

I did and sometimes I’d use my thumb lol
