cantstopcrying is right... I put myself down about my work, I don't believe anyone would want to buy it... but (I have a couple of pieces on the mantelpiece in the front room... a painting of a famous/local place and a drawing of me and my brothers when we were young) everyone that visits the house, my mum 'has to!' tell them that I did them and the amount of compliments is scary, of course I have my doubts as to wether they're being nice or not... but I often finish a painting/drawing and think "nah, that's not great", that's just the way I am, a perfectionist and modest.
