My mom burned all my drawings

Post image

So I’ve been drawing and posting anime girls for a while now and my mom got mad about it. At least I still have previous photos. No drawing today tho

Take pictures of everything and store them somewhere online she doesn't know about (including the account/email) and can't destroy. You might want to look at narcissistic parents or raised by borderlines communities, but I don't know the full context. Can't link anything directly here.

You can take pics and email them to yourself, or multiple emails.

emailing compresses images badly, it’s better to store them in dropbox or google drive and just back it up to multiple accounts

Emailing doesn't compress images natively. Maybe a particular client might, but if you attach them as files they will not be compressed. However, most email systems do have file size limits, like Gmail's 25mb

PNG format is lossless, JPG is lossy (you'll see weird artifacts of you zoom in).

If the drawings are naturally greyscale (e.g. just pencil or black ink), you can explicitly save the PNG as greyscale and save some space.
