Hey Andrew! Sounds like your friend is trying to 'fit in' but in the wrong way.
I think Ziroc is right, keep drawing. You should do what makes you feel right, not what anyone else tells you to do or tells you is cool. If you enjoy it, then do it for yourself!
And here at IW, people may tease, like LoA said, but when all is said and done, most of us care and that's the important thing to rememember. [img]smile.gif[/img]
