You shouldn't let what other people think get the best of you. Yeah, furry type styles of drawing are frowned upon by many people on the Internet. But if it's something you don't mind doing, go ahead and do it.

I understand what anxiety is like, im sure most teens and young adults have experienced it at least once, and a good portion of them have to deal with it more than they want. I don't think anyone here will judge you on doing it. Maybe a couple, but it's the Internet, there's douches like that everywhere. :v

Just know I support anything you do when it comes to your art progression. Don't be afraid. . I do the same for my lady friend. She's a fantastic artist in the making. Top of her AP Art class. Teacher's favorite. :P


By the way, your art isn't simplistic. Yeah, you repeat some of your characters, but that's because they're your characters and they make you happy to draw I hope. That's probably why you draw them a lot. They're very nice. It's always nice to step out of your comfort zone here and there to see what else you can do. But it's not bad at all to repeat.
