Yeah, today I decided to show an art teacher my DRAMAtical Fall piece .......... I didn't expect their first response to be:

"You should try different things. That's all you like to draw so that's all people will see you as."

......................'scuse me? O_O

I mean I know that constructive criticism is supposed to be good and all but that teacher must of forgotten all of the several different types of projects I've done for them, I can even list a few:

Clay bowls
Plaster sculpture
Self portrait 
Charcoal still life
Color wheel personifications
Rainbow road scratch board
Animation
Oil and chalk pastel landscapes and portraits 
Calligraphy art

.....

Seriously, the only the I haven't tried is 3-D art. Actually no I have made a 3-D character once so heheh... X3 But what I'm getting is that something's criticized by others can end up being very sensitive topics TO criticize especially when that person says pretty much the same negative things to that same kind of topic when it's something you've loved for so long and worked so hard at to perfect; and people are pretty much saying, but in different words, to stop it possibly because they're annoyed by it, jealous of your talent, or just don't like it.

As an added note, there was some good that came out of this....
I have a new character for a horror story now who will also have a gruesome death *hint *hint      ...>v<        Thank you... teacher.
