i feel so numb i have to remind myself to breathe
otherwise, i'd suffocate
today was supposed to be a good day

[Lincoln]

I've been having the worst day.
:(
So I drew that. And wanted to show it to people. So I posted it in the chat box asking for suggestions or tips.

I was ignored, and had to post it multiple times.
This one girl message me. And began flaming on me.

She said

You sent it in chat so I got it now.
*ahem*

You can see its a dog and it's a good start.
However.

The lack of background + white canvas is very distracting. It also looks very lazy.
The lack of color as well; usually, when the outlaying stuff is simply monochrome its used to accent and draw the eye to a certain part, which is the pendant in this case; however, since it's just BLANK and theres absolutely nothing, not even texture, it simply looks lazy.
The anatomy is alright. The ears and nose are pretty bad. Dog's nose's are very square, and the ears are too high and on top of their head. It looks like a headband.
The pendant is ok.
The blue coloring is strange. Is it water? Is it mist??

There happy

And I informed her that I had a short temper, and her reply was

Thats what you get when you post it in chat 3 times and complain constantly for attention
#annoying

And that's why my day has been horrible.
Its a sketch! I already made that clear, and I was on mobile!
My stylus wasn't working so good. I made ALL of that clear to her, but she doesn't care. She's been rude to me the whole time I've been on there, telling me that my pets were ugly, (my real ones) my username was stupid, etc.
I am so lost?
What did I do?!
I need a hug, I'm crying rn. I didn't ask for critiscm, I was asking if they liked my art style, and if they would buy something like it.
I can't breathe right now, I hate that person so much.
I also spent 3. Hours. On it.
I guess I'll never be a good artist.

Awwe dont worry! ♥ I think your drawing is amazing. The wolf is so cute and it reminds me of a cs pet. If she was insulting you, ignore her. If you can block her, then do it. I'm not a very good artist but I do it for fun. I really love to draw, and I've always wanted to get better. If their criticizing then Id like to see them try to draw something decent. There aren't always going to be nice and kind people when your on the road of life, there's always going to be that person who hates you, and a person who will always be there for you. We're all Diffrent, and we can't help that. The people you meet may not be the most nicest, but if their doing it for enjoying that's pure cruelty. Who cares about her, she's probably trying to hurt your feelings. Try not to dwell on it sweetie, you put so much effort on it. Your drawings aren't horrible, their a piece of art. Infact, everything that is drawn is art. People have Diffrent styles of drawing, including me. Have you found your style yet? Maybe possiblily that person thought that your style was way too Diffrent from their taste. It's pretty impressive that you made something cute and awesome with a stylus that didn't work so well. Your work is beautiful, like how everyone deserves to live. Don't give up, I'm sure there are more people who are learning just like you ♥

I want to help everyone here, trust me, but I saw this comment and really felt I could say something <3
*hugs everyone* I love you, so don't worry if you think no one in the whole wide world does. Someone other than me will, you'll just have to see <3

Ok, anyway, I'm so sorry that this happened. Sometimes criticism is actually needed, but that person was very mean about it. Sure, in some parts I see what they mean but they shouldn't have said it that way.
Your art is so cute c:
I know what it's like not getting noticed and being ignored for art, but you will get better. A tip is just to draw loads, and the more you draw, the more you will improve, I promise. I can guarantee that because of my art last year, it works and now people actually like my art, which I never thought would happen. You don't need to share every piece you do and look for comments or critique, that way you'll be improving and then the occasional one that you are proud of you could put up! I wish you the best of luck sweetie<3

i feel so numb i have to remind myself to breathe
otherwise, i'd suffocate
today was supposed to be a good day

I'm so sorry *hugs*
I've been feeling like that recently, sometimes about this guy. I've gone into school excited to see him and it's been rubbish and I've ended up heart broken. I don't want to eat or think or anything when that happens, and I feel like suffocating. You can always talk to me if you need reminding how amazing and nice you are, I'm here for you <3

Add on, she just said this:
"I just said your art sucked dude wth"
And people are jeering at me and yelling
"Chill! Your being stupid!"
"Your overreacting!"

But what they don't know is all the stress I've recently been going through, its hard.
My mother is getting worse and I can't do anything.
I hate having my favorite OC flamed for being white when she's a ghost.
Its heartbreaking.

i recently moved from new zealand to australia, so i have to go to a new high school. the first day of school is this thursday and i am terrified/nervous as hell! it's k-12 so i imagine most people will already know each other quite well, and i'm a huge weirdo so how will i ever fit in?? i'm also kinda shy not to mention incredibly awkward around people i don't know well, so i'm scared i'm going to screw something up

it is,
and just remember.
if YOU like your OC, then that is all that matters.
no ones opinion matters but yours.
it's great, ignore everyone that says the opposite
and keep your head held high boo <3

hey it's okay!
i have moved around my whole life
i've moved to four different countries
and five times to a new school
it's difficult, i agree!
it's normal to be nervous, in fact i would say
it would be unusual if you WEREN'T nervous!
i recently just moved back to my old house that i moved away from
when i was five, and have joined a school.
it was scary, but it's okay!
everyone knew each other, and i'm weird too.
i'm so awkward, but i found a group of friends
some of the nicest people i have ever met.
i'm just like you, so don't worry!
you will find a nice group of friends, and you will be accepted
and who knows, you might not even be weird!
but weird is good anyway.
try and get some sleep the night before
good luck <3

first off:
that girl had no right to be so rude about your art. if she doesn't like it, she can say so more politely and also actually add in the positives. while i doubt it was out of jealousy, i'm pretty sure she was just extremely annoyed and wanted to spill her anger over you. not your fault either - she could've asked nicely to not post too many times.
i would recommend reporting her to the staff and just ignoring her. don't read the garbage she's going to give you. instead, look for other people in other chats for opinions on, or even ask the chicken smoothie community. she's just wasting your time. find new ways to achieve things instead of finding a way to resolve something that might take months to heal.

about your mother, i feel your pain. my mum's been awfully sick and ill and constantly making herbs to cure herself. she relies on dad to send me to school each morning because she's so tired everyday. all i can say is just while it's a good idea to feel worried about those you love, don't let it get too far in your head. make things for her. spoil them. make your mother happy and appreciate you. on the opposite end of the spectrum, let yourself relax and do whatever your mind wants you to do. don't force it. forcing things never come out the best result.

if you want your art to improve, never let the negatives weigh you down! i'm an artist myself, and whenever i see professional artists with stunning works, i have to remember that they didn't obtain that skill right away. same for you - don't compare yourself to another artist and think you'll never reach there. do art on paper and on technology as much as you can, and aim high. if you look on some artists' faq or something similar, they might have stated that they've been drawing at the age of -blank- or have drawn for -blank- years. patience is definitely key.

i just want to say i wish you the best of luck with overcoming this problem, and remember that pretty much nothing is impossible. literally. we could have flying cars and pigs in the next 30 years. maybe even be able to time travel.

I can't get a gift to work because its charger doesn't work in this area..
And my mom keeps snapping abut it, saying that I "shouldnt ask for things when they arent going to work", that "spending money on games is stupid and that makes me a stupid adult" and that I should just send it back, not to mention the shipping alone cost my friend like 70$ on top of the actual cost of the thing...
I'm just..
I woke up less than an hour ago and I'm already crying haha it's gonna be a great day

can't you order a new charger?
or get one of those plugs.
an exchange plug i think it's called. whenever i visit
a european country i use it c:.
it's not stupid, don't feel bad.
it's okay to cry, you can let it all out c:
it will be a great day, you're right c;
i know you're being sarcastic, but i'm not!
go shower, get dressed, and take a walk
even if it's too cold to function
because when you get back you can have a hot chocolate and
sit in front of the fire.
but if it's boiling, you can drink a cold drink and lie
on the hard floor while playing a game.
you gotta be optimistic c:
good luck <3
