I'm not so good with the advice.

Can I interest you in the alol I did when I read the title?

So why do you feel ashamed?

My mum does this as well, but she's generally like that anyway. She just lives in her own little bubble. When my dad sees my artwork, he usually comments on it and I really appreciate it because it encourages me to draw more. When I show my art to my mother she either just ignores me, or says the ever so irritating; "Did you trace that?" line. But she doesn't say it in a complimentary way, she says it in a way as if to say; "You're not capable of drawing that. You MUST have traced it."

Pisses me off, it does. But thankfully I have a rather creative dad who was interested in art when he was younger and appreciates it more.

Lestat: Have you suffered in my absence?
Louis: It was pure hell. Each risk you take hurts me. But that is my concern and fault.
Lestat: Why do you love me?
Louis: You know, you've always known.

Yes please

Everyone at school knows me for being the art kid, you know? But sometimes the praise annoys me, then I get home and I don't get any praise from mum and that annoys me too!! MAH MIND, IT BE FRUSTRATINGZ.

If it helps my mum says: "Yeah, it's good"

I then go: "Well, what bit is good? Can you tell what it's supposed to be? Do you think the nose/feet/colour/position is right?"

She replies: " You know I know nothing about art, why do you always ask me?"

I say: "You have eyes don't you? You've been looking at stuff longer than I have! Just tell me if anything doesn't look right!"

She shouts: "I don't know, I've told you this a hundred times... STOP ASKING ME!"

It descends into an arguement quite rapidly.

I actually don't know why I ask her. But I always do.

Abridged version of this comment:
I know what you mean!
