There will always be people who don't like your work. Even if all you drew were lilies, there will be those who don't like lilies. There are Monet haters out there. As an artist, criticism is something you'll have to get used to.
What do you draw that's so controversial? If it's skulls or Gothic themed, then don't worry, it's not that weird. Your parents just sound conservative.
They are quite conservative; in fact, they joke that it must be skulls or some such even when they haven't seen it. Usually, if anything, it's inspired by fantasy, sci-fi or some books that I read and has little to nothing to do with gothic themes. Sometimes it's surreal or sometimes things that I just thought might look interesting. Lately, I've tried to imagine how some of the scenes and characters from Neil Gaiman's American Gods would look like, but I'm hesitant to let anyone see my interpretation because no matter how I try to downplay it the book does contain some violence.
I see. Still, Not all of your work will be appreciated or understood. Pieces that contain violent themes may not go over well with the conservative crowd. Just like anime wouldn't be fully appreciated by those who think it's weird.
With anything, if you are worried about something not being accepted, then you may have to pick the crowd you choose to show certain works to.
I can never gather the confidence to show any of my art to anyone?
