This is so hilarious and so sad at the same time. :'D Your chibis are simply fantastic, they are so adorable, and those over-exaggerated expressions are so funny! 
 
I've never been as skilled as you are, so I haven't been in that situation, but I can imagine it to be hard.:/ Though I'd be a liar if I said that I weren't thankful for the fact that you decided to hone your skills and keep doing art. Because I'm very much in love with your art, and it brings me such joy to look at it! Then again, I just like talking to you as well, although I never do it for some reason (apart from comments I mean) because...I don't really know why. Don't wanna steal your time and bother you I guess. ._.° 
But don't you base your self-worth on art only. Okay, that's easy to say, I guess....and quite hypocritical because I have almost no self-worth at all. orz But I can only repeat that even if you'd draw stick figures everyday or if you drew like a kindergartener, I'd still view you as a wonderful, very inspring person, because of your personality, and because you being you.

aaaaa thank you!!! & dont worry i consider you a friend even tho we dont like TALK talk tbh i have a REALLY hard time keeping up relationships w people when they need constant communication like my ideal friendship is one where we can not speak/only speak thru sending each other memes for 3+ months and still be besties bc i go through. such long periods of avoidance OTL

Sorry for the very late answer!
I'm so glad you do.  
Yeah, me too. Though I'm kinda torn when it comes to that, on the one hand, I have a hard time keeping up with relationships because I do need my alone time every now and then, and I have no trouble considering someone a friend without having to talk all the time, and on the other hand I'm desperate for more contact and get insecure when my friends don't talk to me for longer periods of time. I'm weird.

i'm laughing so hard at all of the things you're drawing in each panel omg tag yourself i'm the penis 
those are all masterpieces though i would PROUDLY display them on my walls I'M NOT EVEN JOKING 
and your chibi style gives me LIFE omg 

i'm so sorry you feel so pressured to create good art and pursue an artistic career though, that's awful :c your art is so beautiful, i've spent so much time staring at it and just admiring how skilled you are, but LET'S JUST GET ONE THING CLEAR 
your artistic ability has nothing to do with your worth as a person. i mean it's an impressive feat that you were able to improve so much and become so good at art, but even without that ability you would still be a really kind, understanding, generous and humble person with an AMAZING sense of humour and i'm sorry i know this is shallow but you're BREATHTAKINGLY HANDSOME I CANNOT DEAL. okay? i would still feel very grateful to know you. there are so many things to love about you, and your art is only one of them.

Yeah, to be honest I'm sometimes glad I didn't pick up drawing until middle school, because although it means I'll probably never be super great it also means that I didn't fall into this trap that I've seen a lot of artsy friends have with it becoming all your identity + self-worth

this comic is well-made btw ;u;

yea tbh it did (and does) quite a bit of harm to me?? Art + attention paid to my art became everything to me from a very young age. My one and only emotional outlet, a communication device, a defense mechanism, a coping mechanism, withdrawal and focus, an ego boost, a hiding place, an identity; literally everything. I never really learned how to make friends, i relied on my strategy of sit-in-the-corner-and-draw-until-someone-talks-to-me. My art was my only icebreaker. I never learned to speak up for myself and i'm still in the process of learning to self-advocate and properly communicate with others, because until late high school, the only way i knew to express disagreement or hurt was to...passive-aggressively draw at people?? It was confusing at best for my friends and caused a lot of strain and hurt and it took a long time before i even started TRYING to talk things through with people.

The self-worth/identity thing is even worse because it's just unreasonable. I HAVE to be the BEST artist in the room or else I feel overwhelmed with negative emotion--worthlessness, self hate, jealousy, inferiority, anxiety. I'll dissociate or panic or flee. It's horrible, it makes it insanely difficult for me to have artistic friends, especially if they're similarly or more talented than me. Art classes have been almost consistently unendurable for me because of it; art college is out of the question.  Sorry for ranting, oops. Guess I needed to get that out of my system.

//late response is late

You don't need to apologize for ranting at all, especially since all of that is totally valid. People just seem to get so attached to their childrens' interests/talents so early on, and it's like, let the kids have room to grow jfc. Sucks that you have to deal with all that aftermath.

Yep.
After I failed art college I had no idea where to go or what else I could possibly be good at now sob, it broke my self esteem quite a bit.

told my parents that I didn't want to do art A-level, now have my mum slipping it in at every chance she gets that she thinks I'm crazy for not doing it even though I hated the entire GCSE course...

Shit, everyone always told me art wasn't a real career and I needed to stop dreaming and get a real job in middle school, highschool, now, etc. I guess I can never do step 3 because instead of pressure I got "that's a nice dream, but". D:

We need an alt tutorial!
