My friend is sad!! :( and people were being mean to her on the forum on deviant art. I got so pissed off I made a whole forum cursing them all out. She's sad now. Like really sad. Like depressed sad. I'm not good at comforting. :( what should I do to make her feel better?

She should stop prioritizing the opinions of cunty people on a website where she is not making any money. That would be the only reason that I would put up with such noise. I cannot help emotionally.

Yeah I know but she's really sensitive TT~TT

well if its defiant art it probably has something to do whith drawings or something right whatever it is the solution should be simple just hang out and bring her to a place where people would apriciate her art and where she could get some construtive critisism from some because online jou shuold expect some slander sins its anonymous and most Ppl are pretty much jerk not everybody but most are

There's not a lot you can do or say when someone is upset. You can listen to them, and not judge or turn into the Bewildering Beast of Mayhem and Cookies (though the cookies part would be fine). Just listen. Let your friend work through their issues, and be a sounding board/good shoulder while they do so. However, I will say this: If she takes her art seriously, she's going to have to develop a thick skin. She won't lose her sensitivity, but if she can recognize when people are being douchebags she can prioritize what actually effects her. Artists don't just deal with harsh criticism. We deal with assholes. We deal with people that don't like what we say, or don't like that we have talent. This can be a good thing for your friend. It can help her find a balance. What's more important to her, producing art and showing people what she sees, or the opinions of asshats on the internet? If she can learn to handle the idiots on the internet, she can learn to handle the idiots in real life, and she'll have grown as an artist. Artists grow in more than technique and view. We're emotional folk by nature. We each have our little sensitivities. We all have to learn how to deal with people that go on the offensive. When push comes to shove, it's good to remember that we have a voice they don't, and our voice, whether it's painting, music, writing, what-have-you, can reach and capture a helluva lot more people.

Also another good idea is just to be honest with her. Tell her you care a lot about her and admit that when it comes to comforting people you're not the best, but that you will try your best :). Let her know that you will stand infront of the harsh words that people throw around. Everything is art i want to become an artist someday, but luckily i was born with really thick skin. one more thing, if her love in life is art and it's what makes her happy, then tell her to feel confident about what she makes, it's not for the whole world to appreciate its for her to feel proud of when someone smart and sensitive enough to understand the feelings put into that artwork, can appreciate it too :)

Call her over to your place, pull out a movie, curl up on the couch together and eat Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Icecream.
