@MoodyB: Oh ok. I was allowed to bring someone with me. Maybe see if your state has a rule against bringing someone.
Worse case, they will just wait outside for you.

That really sucks, I'm so sorry =(
My guess is your aunt probably just doesn't understand what it is, or how it helps with digital art. I'm used to people not understanding art and/or technology.

I've been looking at investing in a new art tablet, but I sorta want one with a screen? That makes the price jump so high though...

@MoodyB: Yikes, I get what your going from since I'm pretty much the "odd one" in my family. But at least my family is pretty respectful of my artistic passion compared to before. Don't take what your aunt said seriously and keep doing you :3

Plus tbh, is weird calling a drawing tablet a "toy" <_>

@Purpsy: i keep thinking "maybe im overreacting her calling it a toy."
but hearing people be like "no no she's weird calling it a toy"

cause its just...so random.
who calls an art tool...a toy???
she doesn't call her daughter's passion for art and what she uses "toys".
im still just...baffled.

@Alchemists Fire: tbh, i doubt that honestly since i've been a digital artist for years.
been to her house with it and everything.
so honestly, calling it a gadget would've been better.
but toy?? very much sounds like she couldn't care less and does not see me as an adult.

@MoodyB: Yeah, that's fair. I'm used to my family not understanding my hobbies either. I'm definitely the "black sheep"/weird one.
I make chainmaille jewellery, and collect BJDs (Ball-Jointed Dolls). I've showed a couple of family members, one outright said they're creepy and another was really sweet and bought me clothes for one of my boys when she had me for our family secret santa!

It always sucks when family doesn't understand or puts you down though =(

@Alchemists Fire: Im honestly used to it.
so i just decided i just...don't want them in my life if they don't want to try to get to know me.
to me they barely feel like family just because they did a lot of emotional abuse to my family
over the years.

so im kinda...done with them LOL

@MoodyB: Yeah, that's fair. Not worth the emotional energy.

On a happier note, I'd love to see your art!

@MoodyB: I understand, I get embarrassed drawing in Skribblio and Drawful. Drawing is not my strong suit at all.
I decided to pursue chainmaille jewellery, and the closest I get to drawing is doing Zentangle-style art

@MoodyB: Is quite baffling for sure but I don't think she knows much when it comes to digital art and is ignorant to it.
Like a few days ago my mom confused my drawing tablet as my other regular tablet because I call my drawing tablet "tablet" for me lmao. That could be also my fault lol

I would say is more an innocent mistake to someone who doesn't know much about digital art or no good with modern technology (I know a few adults that's like that) Unless she's being rudee about it then ugh =.=

@Purpsy: my aunt tends to not make innocent mistakes.
when she does, she's rude about it.
she tends to be the know it all type.

so tbh, its unlikely as even her daughter does digital ocassionally who she is very close to.

and she tends to treat my family poorly because we're poor. and she acts like she knows whats best for our health after not knowing anything about us.

@alchemists fire: art is my life but posting it here makes me feel depressed.

@MoodyB: I can understand that. I'm used to the type of art I do being considered more "doodling" that art, and my friends think my chainmaille jewellery is neat but not all of them understand all of what goes into it. I'm also really tired of "OMG that's so cool you should sell!" and the same people that say that never buy...

@Alchemists Fire: for me my art just..isnt good.
and maybe it's just because im lacking still in many things.
i like it more recently since i began painting a day or two ago.
but in general when i post my work, im just not that good lol. and it often makes me feel..discouraged.
that i just sometimes feel like "is this really for me??"
but art is the only job i can really do.

i never believe anyone who says they want to buy something of mine or i should make such and such.
action speaks louder than words and i've had about..3 commissioners say they want to or would but
never do which is a huge let down.
