I have a confiedence issue when it came to my work as well. When throighout your High School years, practicing your drawing and my art teachers tell you repeatly "You're not that good enough.", "Cartooning isn't art, just doodles." and other degrading quotes. because they favor the ones that win stuff in Art shows because the teachers liked them.

I wanted something in the artshow, but they couldn't because it wasn't good enough for their approval.

On top of that, my mom loves to brag to other people to make her look good, especially when it came to my work. Telling everyone about it, and I get embarassed by it.

So, what I can do is keep it in the closet until I am ready enough or when I know the person well enough to show it to that person and/or confess about it (They never find it by accident such as find me on dA and/or Facebook, so I'm not worried about that). And their indifferent about the "talent" that's been passed down in our family.
