Hi Hive account@yagurlali. Thanks for the kind words!

Now I have a question for you. Would you stop speaking if people laughed at how you speak? I hope not. :) If you still want to, I encourage you to get back to drawing, at your own pace and in your own time. And if people laugh, it will help. I'll tell you why:

Anything we start learning looks funny in the beginning, like riding a bike. You know when a baby walks, falls and we giggle at it? The baby doesn't care and keeps trying, and so the biggest challenge is to act like a baby, not just ignore it but learn to channel it into motivation to get better, instead of discouragement.

Which, and this is important, will help you deal with yourself. Because every good artist, EVERY good artist, hates some of their work. And the ones who take this 'hate' and turn it into motivation to do better, this helps them to get even better. Does that make sense? :)

And, also it's really fun to look at some of those works after a few months or years. ;)
