It was probably just the cough drop clicking in the mic, but I halfway envisioned you actually cracked your knuckles at those bullies, hence this. And shiny angry anime glasses because drama.
*Side note but actually the main note:
Dude, I am so grateful for your encouragement of all skill levels. I do my best to do the same for my friends who try art, too.
When they've been discouraged after seeing my stuff, usually at my speed, I just explain that I've been at this drawing thing since 3, and more seriously since like 12-ish. I'm 27 now, so that's a lot of consecutive years of practice, and I still have issues and stuff art-wise that I still can't quite get right at my current skill level. But, when that happens, I try breaking stuff down to see if there are parts I DO know and go from there. (I.E. I'm not great at animals. But, I've been drawing Pokemon fanart since 2000, and a lot of earlier Pokemon look more like simplified real-life animals. So I draw up basic shapes from those and build from there!)
Anywho, that was a long-winded way of saying thanks to you, Jon, for your support, and wanting to express my own encouragement to artists here. Keep practicing, don't be afraid to look up references/how-to guides of anything, and please PLEASE remember to take care of your hand/wrist. Breaks, stretches, etc.
Keep arting,y'all! :D
