Spirit momentarily crushed

Warning I hate doing journals about bad stuff but I can't help myself.
So at my school there is an art club but I've always been afraid to go because I didn't think I'd fit in with all the other amazing artists. But that was then and this is now :) so I went in with my sketchbook and started to draw when another student came up and asked me if he could see my sketchbook. I said sure and we traded books. As I was looking through his art I heard him sigh and mmm and then tell me the many many things wrong with this http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10384231/. Needless to say it was a rather long list but I was expecting it to be so I laughed and explained to him that I was pretty new to drawing to which he replied "yeah I can tell" again I was expecting this but what really upset me is the fact that he just handed me my sketchbook and walked away, I at least wanted so kind of constructive criticism instead I ended up feeling a little insulted. It felt almost as if he was saying that I wasn't worth his time which hurt a little bit :P.
But whatever I learned a few things there anyway from stalking other people as they drew but no one really offered tips when I asked they all seemed to reply with similar responses such as "study more anatomy" or "watch others draw". (shrug) life goes on though
Also I drew a new comic that isn't a furry comic for once :0 shocking I know and the next page of AFR should be started soon lol.
Have an amazing day everyone!!!
