I was working for my project(Friend of mine),Then my mother stand next to me and watching what I'm doing. then she ask me if I'm doing it easily, "no, it's hard for me" i replied. then she turned her laptop on and doing something(so on). after few minutes, "come here,let me show you something" and i saw someones Facebook profile. browsing albums and a lots and lots of Artworks are there. "he's an animator just like you" mother said and "that's cool!" i replied.
viewing the artworks over and over again.
(lots of manga characters, naruto, toradora, etc..)
mother: that's ****'s son(her boyfriend's son)
me: ....
mother: look at his artworks!
me: O_o
mother: he did all of that.
mother: His name is *blah blah blah* visit his profile and take a look at his artwork and use it as your reference.
mother: he's 19 years old
*younger than me and Better than me, that's nice*
*i was just thinking,what exactly was her trying to point out*
mother: Oh! look at him,look at his face, he's handsome!
me: (i told myself *I'm not a gay*)
*i continued what I'm doing with a little insecurity. of course because she's not proud of her own son. and she's checking out someone's artworks while mine was often,never maybe*
*and the worst part for me is...*
mother: Can you do that? (the artwork)
me: No, i still need more practice...
*then i remember what she told me when i was 17,
mother: What course would you like to take
me: animation
mother:in terms of drawing, there's a lot of people who can do better"
*Thank you,mother. that inspires me a lot*

yikes dude... This hits me on a lot of levels. And I would love to give you advice but, my family has done the same thing a few times more or less..
you gotta do what you love for you, and the rest comes. Dont do it to impress anyone but yourself, or you'll get stuck in a rut..
Just keep practicing and enjoy doing what you love. The rest comes after that believe me.
