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 !

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend of mine. I was saying that I was a lot more daring with my art back when I was first starting out, when I felt like I had nothing to lose. She calmly told me, "You still have nothing to lose." I realized that she was right--after all, learning can't occur without mistakes!

Well I don't know if it's copyright violation by taking official panga pages and recolor them - but that would stop ME from doing it if so.
awesome stamp anyhow<3

My brother got a DD for a 5-frame emoticon that took him about 10 minutes to make, but everyone uses it very often. Simplicity isn't always a bad thing!

Wow, you saved me. I was just about to do suicide...after seeing Art, I felt so...horrible. I mean, I drew since I was in kindergarten and I draw every single day! And he surpassed me by showing better art. I figured, why not just kill myself. And here, right when I was just about to kill myself. I see this, I thank you. From the bottom of my tiny heart.

Never! I will never stop!
Even though there are times were I get upset or jealous when someone's work is better than mine, it actually motivates me to do better! And although it's not art to one person or several others; art can only be true art to the artists who created it!
Plus we all have different ares that we are good at and that we are bad at.
