I know I'm being annoying, its just...Every time I draw anthro stuff I hear my father's voice "Oh, you shouldn't draw that stuff you should draw blah blah blah blah....". I hear society as a whole telling me I have no worth as a person every time I draw this stuff and it has... Cut deep. I know I shouldn't consider these stupid, retarded, unproductive opinions but....They've caused me to put my pencil down on more than a few occasions and it hurts. It really hurts. It impedes my creative process, I want to feel free, I want to draw whatever I want. I've decided recently not to pursue art as a professional career and I think its helping mentally so I guess I'm testing the waters to see If people want to see me posting again to see if its worth it.
The best part is, they're not; no-one is right. There is no 'right' way to do everything. There's only -your- way to do things, and every person's gotta stick to their own path, including yourself.
Keep on keeping on man, you got people who love you and what you do here, regardless of whether you're drawing or not. You don't owe anyone except yourself anything, you should be able to draw for yourself above all.
I definitely wouldn't say no to seeing you post here again :) Take care of yourself!
You gotta do what's best for you, but I'd personally love to see you posting again if you decided that was what you wanted to do.
