  So at my school some guy decided to make an unofficial art gallery for people at our school and sent me an invite email and I thought it was cool so I joined.
  
  Mistake #1
  
  I was posting my dragons and cats and stuff, mostly dragons I've been working on digitally, and putting little character bios in for them. I also put my sketchbook stuff in there.
  
  Mistake #2
  
  He updated the rules and it's not hard to see that it's directed towards me. I get that he doesn't like writing content on an art website made specifically for drawings, but he's being just plain biased. I'm not allowed to like say the names of my characters, but his girlfriend can post whole freaking chapters of books on her page???
  
  He sent me an email that he keeps claiming was criticism but it was basically him saying my art looks like crap and he doesn't like it because I didn't do the muscles and spine right. I got kinda upset and tried to explain how I personally think dragons are more like serpents, and he just kinda shrugged it off and said he used to struggle with that too. I'm not struggling, like wtf???
  
  So I took off a bunch of stuff on my page, and well guess what.
  
  Now I can't draw without finding all those errors in it that I honestly didn't care about until he pointed it out and now I can't draw and it's made me kinda upset tbh. I don't really know what to do.

  i honestly love all of your drawing and you have really good talent !! try to never think that this person can tell you what's good and what's not unless you ask them to tell you such things. i think dragons are more like serpents too and tbh, it sounds like the guy you're talking about is just being a prick, so try your best to ignore him.
  
  also try your best to ignore what he said and just draw! it might be hard, but trying is the key. art is simply expression, and someone telling you it's not good is completely invalid
