I would like to be a cartoonist because I enjoy creating characters, and would like to make some of my rough ideas into say a comic. I never really a fan of realistic or even anime style, because I find it stressful to put a lot of details. I'm more into cartoon or say simple design. What I like about your comic and your art is they were a mixture of simple design with a bit of details like facial expression. I used to draw all the time, but I haven't much improve my drawing skills and I don't like seeing my old drawings because it makes me feel talentless. I tried looking into how to drawing tutorials and try to draw the way the artist would do, but I don't know how to explain it just doesn't fit like it doesn't feel right for me. So I haven't draw much ever since, but that doesn't that I stop being creative. I also do creative writing most of the time. I'm not much of a storyteller, so I find it easy for me to write it in summary. I'm sorry for talking too much.

Oh you're fine ^_^ For me the simple design and facial expressions just feels like what I've known making cartoons to be.
For ANYBODY that makes stuff though you have to find your own way. You can see tutorials and stuff to help out at first, but your "style", be it in drawing or writing, comes from you. The evolution of your crafting over time. Honestly I too hate a lot of my older pictures and I'd take them down if there weren't a lot of people that (for some reason) like em. But no matter how ya feel, just gotta keep at it ^_~ Only way to get better and know what you'll be.

That is very nice of you. To be honest with you I met few talented people. I went to the small art studio during the time I went on holiday with my parents. The people there mostly make figures and/or models. I was impressed by their skills and creation, but my Dad thought it would be good fun me. I preferred not to because I preferred drawing than saying modelling, and even I want to do that I didn't have any experience in making figures or models. Also I don't like having my let's be honest here crappy figure, standing next to the more brilliant figures. It makes me feel even more talentless. To you this maybe coming from the perfectionist and you would be right, but I don't want to improve to be good at it, it just I want to be happy with the design of my characters. I know it sound ridiculous but that's how I feel about.Β

well I certainly do know the embarrassment that can come with comparisons to others that are much better, but your father does seem to care about at least a vague understanding of your interests ^_^ what does truly matter though in the end for anybody is their own satisfaction of their work. Once you've gotten to that point of "I like it" that is good enough.
For me my dad was always, and I mean ALWAYS, pointing out how things could be better whenever I showed him stuff. No matter what animation I do or what-not, he always is like "that could go on for more frames" or "could be a bit more detailed" or some other thing. I know it is him critiquing and all that, but I think it did sort've drive a divide with my brother between him with how nothing ever seemed good enough for him from my brother's point of view whenever he made something.

He does understand what I like. My parents bought a art kit for me as a Christmas present to make me happy. My Dad even plan to built my own small art studio for to do drawing. Honestly all it does was make me feel upset from how far behind I was. The one thing that I regretted the most was when I went on a tour in Liverpool Community Art College. It was back when I was in a special school, and by special school I meant the school for students with autism. There's a lot of class in the art college, mainly three of five of class had a same lessons like sculptor, painting, etc. After all that I decided that I didn't want to go there because it was overwhelming for me because I felt crowed being in the building, even though the college is large but the college is in the city so there's no say a park for me to enjoy the blaze. Some people with autism like me do get stressful and/or panic easily. I along others, who need some space to ease their stress. There's no spot for me to be myself when I would like to draw, write or just need some time alone. However, to this day I felt that I made a wrong choice, and I waste a opportunity to do something I would enjoy.

Oh college. Now that is something I NEVER did. Not for discomfort, simply because of cost. Here in the US you can go into thousands upon thousands of dollars of debt for most of your life if you don't succeed in a career that you were studying for afterwards to pay off your classes you took.
But I always have people at work going "hey, did you go to school for that?" everytime they see me sketching. For art especially you can end up doing however good you want as long as you put the effort into it with or without going to school. And with the internet you can study everything you want at the click of the mouse ^_^ I am sorry about the college thing for you, but if it is like the US you can try for it anytime you want if you change your mind. If you even wanna do it.

Well I'm researching for any place that I can do art and have more space, but if there isn't any other place then maybe I'll go there. I apologize for talking too much about my personal issue, but I had been kept it for far too long that I have to let it out.
