i have people tell me i'm ugly and people who tell me i'm pretty, people who make fun of my art, people who love my art.

i say heck with BOTH those kinds of people. i don't even care if you like me or hate me. i used to (and sometimes still do) have self-esteem issues, but you know what? I'm ME. if you don't like it, then i'm not making you talk to me, look at me, etc. if i think i look good, then i look good. if i think i draw awesome, i draw awesome. and if i think i'm ugly, i'm ugly. it's that simple. it's MY decision. but if you're willing to give me constructive criticism when i ask for it, i'm totally willing to listen to what others have to say about my art style among other things. because sometimes that's good to hear too.

if you don't like my art, you don't have to look at it. if you think i'm stupid you can go somewhere else where there's more intelligent people. i understand low self-esteem and how it can really hurt to be told you're ugly/not good enough, whatever. i've never had friends really until I put in the effort and now i have sort of friends. (one thing about me though is that i prefer being alone a lot, mostly in real life, so having friends isn't as big a deal to me as it seems to be with most kids i talk to)

friends aren't just going to appear one day and be like "yo i like you" YOU have to put in the effort and talk to people.

if you hate your art, draw more. it's so easy guys. yeah and i know it can seem hard, but it's all about perspective. moping won't make you an amazing artist. practice, perseverence, and patience will.

i don't know who this is about, i don't care who this is about. i heard these crazy percentages where most girls hate their bodies while they're in their teens. i think people in general should stop listening to what other people tell them and start listening to their own selves. alright bye
