I must have missed the Easter Seals post. Can you repeat it?

Sure thing, it was a while ago. Easter Seals is basically a school/support program dedicated to helping people with disabilities. They have a pretty big focus on autism but there's a lot of help for other disabilities too.

They could help you find a job and get the skills for it or you could go on camping or amusement park trips with them. I think they also have therapists that specialize in art therapy, so they could help you with not just pointing out some ways you could improve at art, but they could also show you how to healthily express your feelings with your art.

Because they offer a lot of programs, it could be really helpful for you. I think you could very easily meet some new friends who like art there. If you want help getting connected with one of these, I think it is a good idea to ask for help from your parents if you still live with them.

The only way to clear your innocence here is to send a picture of your grandfather's credit card, along with the digits on the back.
That way we can do a cross-reference to verify that it's just somebody who shares your grandfather's name who owns the credit card used to pay for the DDOS.

For legal reasons: This is a joke

Thank you for the information. I'm unsure if Easter Seals are in PA or not. They may have an equivalent program for me.

No, you think it's funny that someone is literally upset and are trying to troll your way out of a person basically scolding you for trolling in this way. :| Guess there's a reason some people think of me as "Queen Troll. " :|

I've been there before. If it makes you feel any better, I think that the people who are messing with you in the thread think that you are a troll because of your reactions to them. When people say "don't feed the trolls," they mean that it's a good idea to ignore people who are trying to provoke you. So I think that could help with your goal of not taking what people say on the internet too seriously.

As a side note, have you tried reading any art books? I think I have a couple of recommendations if you haven't.

I keep telling people I'm not an actual Troll . This explains why I barely know how this site works in the first place. I read the rules, etc, but they barely explain what Kiwi's end game is. :|

Huh. Got a notification from this thread. Had no idea this chick was still going. Judging from the profile picture, her art has improved, which isn't something I can say for a lot of other people laughed at here. Good job. Honestly, I hope you keep working on your art, and think you're probably a nice person in real life. But this site isn't healthy for you. You obviously aren't the intended audience for the content we feature , and the way you behave and interact with other users here will turn you into a new source of said content, which isn't something you'd probably enjoy very much.

There are plenty of other forums online which would be better suited to posting art, discussing drawing, and friendly socialization, which is what you seem to be looking for. I don't personally recommend DeviantArt due to the level of fetish content/creepy users the site hosts, but something along its lines is probably what you're trying to find.

To avoid people from Kiwifarms bothering you on your new online presence if that's something that concerns you,
give yourself a username with no connection to Samantha Prater or any other name you've used before online, and don't post your real name, face, or any otherwise identifying information. If you are concerned about people from this website using more advanced means of tracking you down (which is unlikely given that you are not well known here and that level of weening is generally frowned upon), sign up to any new socials you make with a different email or IP than those you've used on KF.

I really do hope you keep drawing and improving your art. But getting tangled up in petty internet dramas and seeking out fights on websites dedicated to laughing at easily angered/strange people online isn't how you start an enjoyable, relaxing art hobby. You're just making life needlessly harder for yourself.

This should prove I'm not tracing. :|

Here's a list focusing on basics broken down into some videos, programs, and books. I recommend focusing on one of these items at a time, so as to not let it build up into something overwhelming in your mind.

Essential Videos Before Learning to Draw​

Art Programs
Books for Beginners
  • Fun with a Pencil by Loomis - Loomis is considered best for beginners because he does a very good job of breaking down how to "see" what to draw (Link to Book)
  • Hampton's Figure Drawing - Very good starter book for showing you how to draw anatomy via practice with figure drawing (Link to Book)
