Just say that it's your private journal/diary and most folks won't inquire further.

>>2135932
Ha, I like that drawing.

>>2135932
I really really love that drawing of yours, no homo.

>>2135949
>>2135950

thx guys. Its a gamble when I show my drawings to people. they either really like it or have ran a good ten feet away from me before I can ask for their opinion

>>2135932
your aunt is probably screaming loomis inside.

>>2135932
I like it as well, easy to look at.

Whenever I say something like 'Honestly I'd rather you don't, it's just quick sketches and learning processes- there's nothing there that's meant to be shown.' they think I'm just an idiot trying to be modest so won't seem to stop insisting. But I'd genuinely feel horrified embarrassment at the idea of their flipping through them. Just because they feel so shoddy to me compared to my finished work since my loose doodles and in-process attempts at everything are in there.
Though I understand the miscomprehension, since just about all of the artist friends I've known who keep sketchbooks respond in exactly the same way, but really are just trying to be modest, and very much want to show off their work.

>>2135932
That is a really interesting drawing. I like it!

Are you suggesting that it would be less gay?

About a month ago my friend came over to my house and she was in my room for a while I wasn't around. I walked in and saw her looking through a sketchbook turning to me and saying "you draw a lot of buts"
"yeah, whatever"

I didn't think much of it at the time but a couple weeks later she told me she saw drawings I made of a girl masturbating. I was extremely embarrassed she had no idea I ... I would make a joke of reciting different porn cite names at irrelevant times and now that doesn't seem so funny. Now I realize I have that kind of shit in all my sketchbooks, if not porn still naked people. Too many naked people from imagination. If people want to look through my sketch book I will let them if its not dirty, obviously I suppose. I have to be more careful, if I get that embarrassed over my best friend I've got an awful lot of embarrassment in store if I keep drawing lewd NSFW. Pic related is how I will guard my sketchbook.

I used a notebook for drawing a comic during math and I always kept it in the open drawer under the desk. The whole school used the same class for math so I wonder how many people saw it.

I also drew a hyper violent comic when I was 13 in school. One faggot just had to ruin it for everyone and told the teacher about it. The teacher got mad but she didn't really give a shit about anything because she was really young. I got yelled at but that's all.

I also had an idea to draw ebin funny dogs fucking and shitting and sell the pictures but my undertaking was stopped when the teacher somehow found out about the countless pictures on small pieces of paper.

>>2138606

I drew stupid shit on my high school math graduation exam because thanks to a stupid policy that one year people could pass with just one (1) point.

I also made an anti-semitic joke in the english exam. They had us write a letter from a displeased customer to the company. Ofcourse I had a jew write angrily about how instead of "The Holocaust" book he ordered he received Mein Kampf. I didn't score as high in writing as in other areas so maybe someone didn't appreciate the joke.

Fun times.

shoot dog, that was more than ten years ago. Pulled this from my old da.

I remember one of a girl eating a rabbit, a girl eating eyeballs out of a chocolate box, a snake coming out of a girls eye. Edgy teenager stuff. We all had that phase... right?

>>2139667
Someone on the internet doesn't believe me :C

>>2139676
I personally didn't have such a phase so I don't know how to feel about that

but about the father part I can 100% relate, he does the same, without even seeing my sketchbook, he push me into showing it to others, and since I stay at home just enough time to sleep, wash and eat I have to carry my sketchbook with me if I want to git gut

plastic covers = keeping evidence.
if its just individual incidents they usually just talk to you then tell you to stop, but when its a pile of shit then that means trouble, especially if its porn in a middle/elementary school.

basically if you're going to do stupid shit keep it isolated and throw it away immediately. it helps with legal shit because 1 or 2 can just be a weird day, 100 is you're fucking crazy.

I feel you, man. Not related to the thread, because my drawing is somehow the only thing they wouldn't give me shit about (except when I started to do fantasy, of course. "but why don't you draw naked ladies instead of all those dragons, Anon?")

Simply not drawing NSFW shit when you are in public is a good solution.
When you are at home use a different sketchbook or plow through stacks of printer paper.

>>2137424
Oh don't forget the Egyptian God cards. I was allowed to watch it, only if I referred to them simply as" Egyptian cards". However, things got iffy with the "steal your soul" stuff. And then there was the occasional "you are worshiping those cards" when I would build a deck.

>>2140159
as an aside, everyone who sees me draw has more or less an understanding that I can draw them and draw them well. It's just usually a matter of them asking. I'm very shy about requesting models, especially nude ones.

Ugh.
Sounds like my junior high experience. I used to draw little comics, and yeah, they were a little nsfw, but it was just strong language mostly. She took my drawings, sent them to the principal, and old me I needed a physic evaluation. She claims I was crazy, had no friends, and the way I make a social life for myself is that I draw friends and social situations that I could never have. First of all, who the fuck comes up with that shit? Second, I have lots of friends, who loved my comics. When she left, he gave them back to me and said she was the crazy one. Glad someone was cool about it.

it was specifically a drawing I did, cause I would mostly just draw little characters running around doing stuff to practice poses and other things, of Murderface from Metalocalypse.

And it said in big letters below his stupid head "MURDERFACE"

This so much,im always self-conscious when i draw,i'll always have to find a corner where im alone to draw efficiently.

>>2146646
I work at a used video game store and am drawing all the time therein (as much as I can anyway I actually do have to work on occasion, unfortunately). You get people all the time asking what you're doing/drawing and shit. It's so annoying and I can just feel my gains being sucked out of me with every syllable. People suck. Your situation is different though, buddy, you're dealing with your family so what will happen is they will interrupt you as my customers do to me, but the beautiful thing is they'll get bored and piss off and very rarely interrupt you from that point forward.

What a bunch of assholes, taking interest in your art like that!

>>2146673
Are you okay, anon? Is something wrong?

>>2146666
I hope so. If it was just some random stranger I might care less but my parents feel the need to constantly "Encourage" me and give their input everytime. I know it's supposed to be encouraging but from people who don't understand art it's really grating freezes me up to no end. Most of the conversations go like this:
>"Oooh anon why is that girls titty showing?"
>"It's just a figure exercise."
>"But they're not even exercising."
>"It's just practice."
>"Anon why don't you draw people with faces? You draw them all naked and faceless."

>"It's because they're not people. They're gesture drawings/mannequins/ect."
>"What do you mean they're not people. They look like people!"
>"Well they're not people. They're art abstractions"
>"Pretty sure they're people."
>"Okay whatever you say."
>"What's that one called, or this one? Anon why don't you give them names? You've drawn like 50 of those guys why are you so weird?"
>"Because it's a drawing exercise!"
>"I don't get why you don't just draw portraits."
>At which my arms go limp and I retreat my head down in shame.

Drawings a hell of a chore when around obnoxious people who don't understand it. Of course I'm still a faggot for letting it get to me rather than pushing forward to git gud but still.

>>2146695
Look from a self-conscious person there's nothing that takes me out of art more than someone else (By which I mean normie pleb) giving their own shite-tier humor and "critique" of your work and distracting you. It's annoying and breaks my focus, concentration and flow everytime.

>>2146715
>>"Oooh anon why is that girls titty showing?"
>>"It's just a figure exercise."
>"But they're not even exercising."
hahahaha

sorry about your situation, anon. they're caring but I would have a hard time dealing with that too

>>2146646
Go outside you fuck.

>draw nothing but furries for years
>even my 18 year old sister if i still draw "those cute dog guys"

I just enjoy it okay. Humans are boring.

>>2146695
I was being a little hyperbolic, I don't actually think that they're bad people or that they "suck" for being curious of course, lol, it's just annoying because I want to draw, not talk to strangers who I'll never see again about what I'm drawing, you know?

>>2136014

>draw ton of nude girls and muscly guys in my sketchbook

Every time someone goes through my current sketchbook, I'm worried they watch gravity falls and will know I ship Pinecest.

Don't post any more until you can draw things that don't look like stiff planks of lifeless wood

whenever i draw nsfw things i burn them with fire after. if i keep them i rip them out the sketchbook and hide them.
also whenever i show my sketchbook to someone i make sure there are no any small nsfw drawing left there.
you guys are weird.

Geez thanks god, only when I thought I was the only one drawing weird shit on my sketchbook and not being able to handle it to nobody anymore.

>>2148088
I'd second that, sometimes I destroy the drawing.
I cannot live with the idea that someone could accidentaly find it where I hide it while I'm out.

Well fuck, you have to do it now

>>2135885
For this reason I keep 2 sketchbooks. The bland one and the "drawing from imagination" one. I'm not even a furry and I don't draw a lot of porn stuff. I just don't want people to see the stuff I really want to draw. Even if it is harmless robits, deamons and cultists..

>>2149384
I wish I had an ass like that

Oh now I remember an anecdote of my earliest days, back when 4chan didn't exist.
>start with naked cute underage animu girls
>one morning my sketchbook lies next to my breakfast

They sure are nosey. It was so well hidden.

This thread makes me really glad that I draw digitally.

>>2146715
>"Oooh anon why is that girls titty showing?"
>"It's just a figure exercise."
>"But they're not even exercising."

I have no problem showing my sketchbook to normal people. My problem is showing it to my artist friends, especially the ones who are better than me.

I DON'T WANT A GODDAMN REVIEW

for fuck sake

>>2149625
having artist friends who are better than you that you can learn from?

let them see your work and critique it, you privileged cunt.

>>2150883
I don't think you get the point of a sketchbook either

>>2150912
>point of a sketchbook

Sketchbooks don't have an inherent "point".

>>2150912
even with sketchbooks, you can spot certain skills and fundamentals that are lacking, or repeated mistakes he makes, which the artist might not know about.

>no you can't read the harry potter books or watch the movies
>they then leave me at the grandparent's house so they can watch LOTR in the theater

>Harry Potter is SATANIC, but Tolkien was Catholic or something so that makes it ok

>>2151600
tolkien was a devout catholic who worked with some basic christian themes (resurrected savior in gandalf, good vs. evil, all that shit).
I'm sure you can find a christian message in harry potter if you look hard enough, but the protagonists all use witchcraft, which is always of the devil.
I grew up in a similar environment, where pokemon and magic 8 balls were "of the devil."

>>2151576
You have a wife and you're still drawing anime? are you sure you just didn't mistake some scene from your favorite anime for real life?

>why don't you want to show me?

>>2151643
I know this feel too

>People actually get embarrased about life drawings and shit

It's a fucking titty or dick, get over it.

>>2151615
Harry Potter started out deeply Christian.
Gryffindor house is the house of Christ. Its people are courageous, good, stand together in times of need, etc. Slytherin house is the house of Satan, deceitfulness, powerlusting, evilspawning, serpentine, etc.
Ravenclaw and hufflepuff have always fallen to the background as just random commoners.

The people in both the books and movies regularly refer to God in their language use, Harry buries Dobby under a cross, the tombstone of Harry's parents has literal biblical verse references on it, the protagonist is a saviour with people who, in the order of the phoenix, either believe in him or not, and they only see the truth when it is already too late. Harry has disciples, whom he rallies around the name of a father figure(dumbledore), whom he meets again during his time being "dead".

The idea of magic is not always satanic in the bible. Jacob applies a form of magic to create spotted lifestock rather than plain, and the magicians of Pharao are only wicked because they apply their arts in the name of false gods.

tl;dr Harry Potter is a deeply christian story.
