Oh my, I’m sorry. It suck when someone sends an indirect message like that, when it’s obviously directed towards you. So many issues can be solved by good communication. Toxic relationships can really take a toll on you but consider it a lesson learned: friends are more important than relationships.I’m still mourning the ending of a friendship, even if the person in question wasn’t great. I reached to them for the first time in several months and got curt replies. Over time they became increasingly aggressive. They also changed their Discord bio to “Why can’t some people take hints.” This was obviously about me, so I unfriended them everywhere. Just a few days later they changed it back to normal. I know I shouldn’t have ghosted them for several months. Being and recovering from a toxic relationship isn’t an excuse to ghosy my friends. I just wish they were upfront about not accepting my apology (and understand that I can’t recognize subtle social cues to my autism).
Hey, I know it's been a while since you said this, but I just wanted to say, it's ok. A good tip if you think your art isn't improving, is to just focus on what you're good at. Nobody is born Bob Ross, or Pablo Picasso. We all start off bad. Though I've seen your art gallery, and I think you've improved! Even if you don't see it, your art is definitely improving, and your skill is great!I am a bit jealous of everyone’s art skill. I feel like I’m not making any progress on getting better at drawing.
I have a lot of art tips to go back to but there is so much idk where to focus on first and then there is the suggestion to try tracing but idk how to do that traditionally when i don’t have anything i can trace.
Still worried about the kitty.
Don’t want to go grocery shopping tomorrow.
I know it's cliché but try not to compare your work to other peoples' work. No one starts out being great at art, it takes a lot of time and practice. You more than likely are making progress, you just can't see it because well it just takes a long time!I am a bit jealous of everyone’s art skill.

Just keep at it, try different mediums if you can, and do lots of research! There's tons of great tutorials online. And drawing from life is the best way to practice your skills imo. Draw people and draw still lifes. You will get better, just be patient!

I’ve see your art gallery, and it’s nice to see some hand drawings. Most art is digital, so I think non-digital is unique. You’ve definitely got talent. I tend to draw exactly what I see, so I’d recommend if you’re looking at a certain picture for reference, try a different pose when you draw it. Sure, it’s a bit challenging, but it’s a good way to improve. I’m terrible at this because I can’t get the measurements right if it’s not right in front of me, but trust me, it’ll help. I loved your drawings for the Jolly Redds team! Try different light sources and shade your drawings a bit when you color, so it’s not all one solid color.Thank you both so much for taking the time to reply! And for the encouragement! I keep trying to tell myself that and I do realize it took all of these artists many years to get to where they are and I definitely don’t expect to be that great within a few months. I still just feel like I am going about improving a bit aimlessly and am feeling a bit discouraged from time to time after looking at more advanced/experienced art.
I will try to keep what you both said in mind though and try to maintain a positive mindset. tysm for you kindness!
it means a lot to me

Don’t be so hard on yourself. Often your biggest critic is yourself.
It took us nearly a week to figure out one of them. Don’t give up you can do it. They’re sneakyThat damn riddle in the Mountains is bothering me.Whoever made this riddle is probably laughing at us trying to figure it out but it’s so confusing.
Hopefully we will do better tomorrow!
I would leave ASAP. There is absolutely no reason a job should be making you that stressed. I quit my job the minute I realized that I was more stressed about having to go to work than to have multiple tooth extractions done. I saw something very wrong with that. No amount of money is worth your mental and/or physical health. I’d recommend getting out of there immediately. You will find something else because as humans, we adjust.I’m tired of the abuse that I see happening at my job it’s starting to wear on me. The only reason I stick around is because I am helping them to improve their life. I’m just sticking around just until I can finish helping them get their home in order so that someone else will be more willing to stick around with them, but I just can’t be around it for too much longer, it’s making me physically exhausted
