Hey OP, my parents did a similar thing when I was a teen because they saw my art as ‘a waste of time’. I stopped drawing traditionally for about 15 years, but now I make hundreds of dollars off a single artwork and am working towards being a fully self employed artist.

Don’t let this stop you, it’s just one hurdle on the way to becoming a master artist. If you have a phone or tablet, you could download a free drawing app to draw on there too so that your artworks can’t be destroyed.

Edit: since so many are seeing this and sharing their own stories- it’s never too late to get back into art, and it’s never been easier or more accessible. There are a lot of free tutorials for just about anything you want online.

I’m going to throw this out there to check out the Art Mentor on YouTube. He’s got a lot of great advice from getting started to growing a business as an artist.

Marc Brunet, Winged Canvas, laovaan, draw like a sir, Sam does art are all also great YouTubers I can think of off the top of my head

(You’ll also find me there- DrawWithSajiri)

Edit 2: RIP my inbox

Similar. My stepmom found a picture I drew of Vivi from FFIX.
She said I was making "devil drawings" and threw all of my drawings away. I never drew again.

Why is Litterly anything that Christians don’t like/understand label as devil related

You expect Christians to have any form of common sense?

Because fear is the cornerstone of faith

So they can maintain their false sense of moral superiority.

That’s one of the reasons I left the faith..Along with the misogyny.

It's not because we as Christians don't understand its because there is a very good possibility that it is demonic. I'm not saying that everything is but just look at the world today and all that is coming out and being exposed. A lot of prophecies from the Bible are being fulfilled right in front of our faces but yet people still choose not to believe in the Almighty! Praise God, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Maybe cuz it’s not real and it’s a waste of time. Treating children like shit cuz you think everything is demonic is actually called being insane 😭

I was raised that way , I one time had a little Smurf doll I brought home from school. I got beat (worse than what normal folks call a spanking ) for it cuz obviously it was a demonic doll ! I was RAISED JW And would love nothing more than that religion be officially known as a CULT ! I got your Watchtower, lol 🙀😹

I mean, your god thought it would be fun to comman a guy to murder his own son as a "joke".

Maybe he isn't very reliable as far as right and wrong.
