Description dA dude (c) dA
Stamp by *ChikitaWolf

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?

Well, miss ChikitaWolf... I am glad to tell you that you manage to come into my fav with that-one.
The thing is, I'm not good in anything. I can't make a good comic. I can't draw a person with right proportions. Nor vehicle. And so on... but hey, if I won't draw anymore, sure as hell I won't get better. And I think that goes for everyone. My english is far but perfect too, but I'm not affraid using it. Keep inspiring people

I let it stop me for a while then I got over it, embraced it, and let it better me.
My art has improved so much since I've let it be my motivation.

The best thing(matter) has to make, it is to see its creation and to remember itself this feeling that we feel has the creation of this last one and same if there are better than us, the practice moves closer to us to them "practise makes the difference"

It shouldn't-- really! There's always someone out there viewing your work, whether you realize it or not. My BFF in real life is an AMAZING artist when it comes to drawing little anime characters-- yet she doesn't post any of her stuff cuz she feels she sucks compared to other artists. It's really a shame Dx

The whole part of being an artist is improving and getting better at what you love doing! Don't give up something you absolutely LOVE to do-- it'll only make you wish you hadn't in the end ^^"
