EDIT: Wow, I'm gettin' llamas already, lol
EDIT2: Oh, cool-- got front page for 8 hours again xD Thanks everyone!
EDIT3: Um, I apologize if I don't reply to your comment ^^" I'm kinda swamped-- but really, I'm reading them all! Promise
EDIT4: Thank you for all the llamas, points, watches, and favs~!
Will it? Will it stop you?
There are going to be more talented artists out there. That's life. But is that going to stop you?
There are many incredible artists here on dA. Does that mean you can't become one yourself?
Some of us come by talent easily. Some of us have to work a little harder to get it than others.
So?
One thing I've learned while being here on dA is that just because an artist is better than me doesn't mean I suck at what I do. It really doesn't. It just means they're more talented in that area.
Is that going to stop me from doing what I LOVE to do?
I love love love to draw.
I don't do it for the views. I don't do it for the favs. I don't do it to keep watchers.
I do it because I LOVE to do it.
Does that mean I should stop just because there a ton more artists that are better than me at drawing?
Heck, no!
Why should that stop me? That should ENCOURAGE me to get better! It seems as if the term "role models" hasn't been used all that recently these days.
So, yeah. Same with all of you out there that write, draw, edit, etc-- are you going to stop doing what you LOVE to do just because someone happens to be better at it?
I hope not!
As one of my favorite characters in the D.Gray-Man manga lives by: "Keep walking. Never stop."
So don't give up, yeah?

Thanks for showing me this ~ladameblanche !

You shouldn't be discouraged by people with more talent then you (like you said) but it does sometime hurt like a bitch (sorry for swearing) to see someone who something you did as well, only he/she did it better then you.
And besides, "good" and "Crappy" is only relative, for example, people at my school say I draw very good, although I see drawings here on Da that would make my art look "crappy".
All in all, my moto about drawing is that in order to draw better you must train alot, by drawing, of course.

There'll always be someone that's a bit more talented-- but that shouldn't stop us from improving ^^
We all get our moments where an artwork makes ours feel like crap-- but should that really stop you from doing what you love to do?

-rambling session on-
this is really a great help to ones drawing-spirit.
I for one know that i can get down A LOT by watching others drawings, especially since I'm in the less-good division of drawing-skills by my friends on DA... but that haven't stopped me yet !
And as a plus for that I always have someone to look up to
-Besides, if you only draw to become good and get onlookers and not because you have a passion for it, you should really re-consider rather you should draw or not!
-rambling session over-

My art style has actually matured a bit and developed due to the better artists, so there's no way I would want to stop drawing after all that motivation they've already given me. C:
