[i]hmmm[/i] The best way to put it was that I was too hard on myself. Basically I didn't believe I deserved the title artist. Because I wasn't good enough. I would work towards obtaining the right to use it however And then when I watch the art community from afar (as I've never gotten involved in big artist groups for more than just observing) I realized there's no bar to jump over I'm an artist because I love to draw. Nothing else to it.
