Been drawing for quite a while. Normally people will tell you that you're good. Even /ic/ is in the habit of asking for blogs.

And that isn't a healthy attitude to have. Not knowing how to take a compliment or fearing criticism or whatever seems to be a reoccurring theme here. Not hard to just say "Thank you" with a smile.

Just chill out and enjoy the process of getting better. People tend to be awed just as much by improvement as they are by the final result, and you only get to be a student once.
