Don't let people stop you from drawing how you like. If you enjoy drawing it like that, draw it like that. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all.

As an artist NO. The fact your art is being noticed by critics means it's captured their interest enough to talk about. Some people can't be positive because being negative is easier.
I just had a similar discussion with my daughter last night. There will always be people who won't like what you create and that's okay. Your job, as a creator, is to not please everyone but capture an idea, a vision, perspective, thought, emotion that is unique to you. Not everyone will get it but there will be people who will.

Keep doing what you love no matter what! As a fellow artist I can confirm you should NOT quit art just because someone doesn't like your style. Everyone is different!

Don’t listen to others only listen to yourself if YOU think you should stop think about it and remember art doesn’t have to be for money it can just be for fun

Screw 'em. Do what is authentic to you, and let that speak for itself. Those who belittle you and your style have no creative skills themselves, most likely, or are incredibly insecure. Keep doing your thing, improve where you can, and ignore baseless criticism. Those who have your best interests at heart will be polite and encouraging.

Don’t let anyone stop you from doing what you love. If they keep POing you, give them the bird. (Realized that might not be the best option. It is one though..a better option would be to tell them off and accept constructive criticism)
