Description
dA dude (c) dAStamp 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?

Thanks for showing me this ~ladameblanche !

Thank you for the encouragement. I think I've needed this stamped in my face for a long time coming.

Kinda big for a stamp, but oh well.
No, this won't make me stop doing what I love, this will even make me work harder and get inspired by others' works to get better, and never stop.

Practice makes perfect! Don't stop what you love doing-- you'd be surprised how many people just might be enjoying your works

I doubt that >3< Plus, the starting line is always the toughest part-- the farther you go, though, the closer you get to your goal

Don't wait stop on what you love to do! And never ever compare yourself to other artist, because you and that other artist did not undergo life on the same things. Plus, a lot of talented artist here on DA if you look quite closely, most of them are already adult (about 20 and above) and some of them are still growing. XD
Nice stamp, I love it, thanks for the encouragement!

ladameblanche In reply to ??? [2011-07-15 11:15:48 +0000 UTC]
Well, seeing all the good stuff from other artists does not only inspire me, but raised my wish for perfection in exorbitant heights - and yes, that almost stops me from painting, because every time I start a picture, I feel that I suck at it and wonΒ΄t reach my aimed level of perfection within a normal period of time.
I know that there is no cure but painting, painting, painting... so I try and keep carrying on.
This [link] also describes it very good, I think.

ccootttt In reply to ??? [2011-07-15 11:12:06 +0000 UTC]
I love this
The thing is, that there might be better artists, but no one can ever be the best because in their eyes, even with thousands and thousands of pageveiws, faves and so on, there will always be someone who they believe is better than them. You can never be the best that there is, but you can learn from each other and from the artists which you consider better than yourself

I don't really want to compare myself, and my work, to others. That just makes me sick of it.. and uncreative.
Yes, there's always someone out there that is better than you.

never! i would never stop doing what i love just because someone told be i'm bad at what i do. I love drawing and doing manga, and i can only get beter at it! I'd just die if I couldn't do what i loved.
Art is something where if you truely love doing it and you use your emotions in it, can realy show who you are, not just what people see you as.
Does it realy matter how good someone is at it, if they love doing it?
To me someone who stops because of what someone said, is someone who just gave up, and doesn't love it as much as someone who could never give it up.
anyway, the point is you can only get beter, never wors. nobody should stop beacause of someone els. ^^

when i see someone's work with a better ratings than mine, it made me suddenly felt like i can't draw or....
