I think this person's point was lost when they drew the creatures to be very cute as well.

Sarah's Scribbles is one of the better comics for drawing the author's self as pretty cute in most comics but knowing how to draw herself as an ugly goblin when the comic is making a point about insecurity or embarrassment around physical appearance.

That comic is basically the gold standard for how to convey those ideas in an otherwise cute art style.

The artist draws themself and they're allowed to judge their own looks however they want,
Even if we would disagree with them.

You're missing the point the comment was making

How? The comment is saying they're cute, the artist is saying they aren't.
