I showed my mom a character I drew on my tablet. She said it looks just like the stick figures I used to make for her, which got me thinking about how art stuff has changed. Do your family members ever tie your digital work back to when you were little?

Ugh, same here. @raysullivan's dad calling it 'coloring on the computer' is too real.
