Re: Because my account is gaining popularity like a shooting rocket and it's so overwhelming that it's scaring me. Every darn thing I draw ends up in This Week's Best when I don't want it to. I only came back to Colors because I wanted to reconnect with friends and just post art freely without having the pressure of having to satisfy other people. I didn't really plan to be part of the community again, I justed wanted to post stuff for fun. Just thinking about a huge amount of people viewing my art really makes my head hurt, and I wish that you had an option to make your account private (like on Twitter) so that only your followers see what you post and not complete strangers and people browsing TWB. I sound like a big scaredy-cat who really shouldn't be on the internet, but really, I just want to take things slow. Really, REALLY slow.
Re: Exactly! I used to feel so comfortable posting whatever I wanted on Colors back in 2015, when I was just posting for friends. Seems like I can't escape the cycle, same thing's been kinda happening on DA and Twitter.
And do what you what you think feels best! You can make a new account if you want, but don't make the same mistake I did completely deleting my account, 'cause your old acc could hold a lotta memories :')
Re: I'm actually very bad at hiding my private stuff... I put all my old notebooks in the drawers of the tables in the middle of the living room... xD And yeah, it's cool that he's taking interest in my comics and characters and all that! Later in the day he told the whole family that I was making my own comics and stories with my own characters. Then I found out my mom used to do that when she was younger.
Guh... unfortunately. xD I don't want a Facebook at all though. I already have a GooglePlus that does that anyway, but I'm not very active on that either. I've decided that after my birthday, I'm taking a break from everything on this site, aside from commenting and liking.
Ah, I see what you mean. Well, whatever you decide to do, I'll be there to support ya!
Re: Tried that already... she's really stubborn so it's really difficult to convince her to do anything. She refuses any advice I try to give her too. The way she treats her art and herself, I think she really IS done with art. She keeps saying she hates drawing and she ACTUALLY burned all her pictures and deleted her 3DS drawings right in front of me. And ya know what? She said it was because of me. Doesn't that just fill me up with guilt and remorse every day. I tried to accept the fact that she was done with art. But I really don't want her saying this awful sh!t. I mean, I guess it's kinda my fault now... a couple of days ago I made the mistake of uploading something onto my GooglePlus, because I felt bad I wasn't active on that thing and that's where my IRL friends go, and I just wanted to put something up there to fill the void. Then she saw it. I can try to get past the fact that she says she hates drawing because of me, but now she's saying my art makes her wanna kill herself.
That is just too much. I can't handle being told something like that. It just makes me feel like an awful human being that I drove someone to feel like this. Not only did she quit drawing, but she quit her hobbies too, like playing the piano. She told me that she now spends her time sleeping all day, for about 6 hours. Doing LITERALLY NOTHING PRODUCTIVE. I'm sure that she quit those other hobbies for her own personal reasons and not entirely because of me, but... how can anyone live like this? It's awful and unhealthy. I'm really concerned for her.
Re: The thing is, her family is probably mostly the cause of her depression. From what I know, they treat her like sh!t verbally (and sometimes physically). I think they either know she's depressed but they don't care, or they just don't take her seriously. Also her parents can't afford stuff like medicine or doctors or anything really. So I don't think she really has anyone to go to... I suggested talking to a counselor once, but she just said that was a terrible idea.
Hello there! I really appreciate what you commented on my last sketch. It really means a lot! I've had a serious case of art block (and I still kind of do lmao) so what you specifically said means a ton! Also I took a look at your progress through-out your gallery and it's truly impressive. I love your art styles. Keep up the great work! <3
