I know exactly how you feel. A lot of the time I get really downhearted about my artwork. =( Even when people say "oh! How pretty." or "Great job!" ect. Sometimes I really wonder if they're saying that to be "just nice" and they think something else or what. It bugs me at times, but other times I think "Hey, I've worked hard to get this far, and I'm going to keep on working hard!".
And it is very frustrating when people become condescending towards your art because their jealous or whatever other silly reason. =p My motto has always been "If you're not born knowing it, you must then learn it." Don't know how to cook? Pick up a cookbook. Can't draw? Take classes. But for pete sakes, people shouldn't go bashin' others art just because they don't want to bother to learn. We're not born how to read or write either, but we eventually learn. I mean, some poeple are natuarally gifted, but even they have to grow in their skill. :)
Anyway! Enough of my blabbering. ;) Just keep on doin' what you're doin' Balaa. Don't let people's rudness/stupidy/fakeness get you down. I think you're great with both your 'toon and realism work. Don't forget, practicing can only make you better at something, never worse! XD *hugs*
