So I can't post this on my main... because yeah But I have this...friend who is not being so enjoyable. I showed her how to draw a basic cat drawing, which I thought wouldn't be so bad. She picked it up and started drawing cats. I'm not bothered by this. But what gets me is what happened today. I was sitting and she turns and looks at my computer. I'm working on my 1 year animating project, and she sees an old drawing of mine and laughs. I turn. "What's wrong?" I ask her. "That's so...ummm...interesting." She says, still laughing. "It's from a year ago." I tell her. "Was that your first ever drawing?" She replies. I nod. She laughs even more. "Look, --------, I'm a beginner and I can draw better than that. That's terrible!" She laughs. I turn back to my computer, not knowing what to say. I'm shook. How could a friend of mine say something like that? First of all- it's beginner art. There's no set way you have to start drawing. You just...start. It doesn't matter how good it looks. Secondly- she makes "fun" of my other art. Like, wth? DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO PUT MY ART OUT THERE? HOW SELF-CONSCIOUS I AM? And I've been working on my art for a year. She tells me her art is better and more proportionality than mine. I'm just...terrified. Like she claims that I draw stomachs thin? Like I'm sorry for having an ART STYLE. Third- her art isn't really like hers. I started right off of the bat- not looking at anyone's art, trying to find my own unique style. But I look at her and she is flipping back and forth between other people's art. Including mine. And then using the style and basically putting down on her own art. I'm sorry, I'm just not a type of person who approves of that. And then she makes fun of others! She criticized beginners in my Fix You MAP. Like, it's an art style! People aren't perfect, and neither are you. They may not be the best animators in the world, but they are drawing, and they are doing good. She's telling me basically all this stuff about how her "art" is so great and everybody else's isn't. Like wth? Also this is the person I've given chances over and over again and joined the school musical for so she wouldn't be alone. I'm sorry. I'm just done. I'm going to give one more chance to this person. If you are reading this, you know who you are. One more chance. That's it.
Sorry to anyone else reading this. Thanks for listening to my vent :(
