Hey Octo, I'm curious to know what "that incident" was that made you stop drawing. It sounds traumatizing. ; A;

I described it in a post not too long ago, but long story short:

I was in school and dropped a folder of my art and a bunch of pictures fell out, a kid saw them and told me I was wasting my time cause I was terrible at art and then threw them in the garbage. The end!
