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 !

When I look at such great artists, it makes me more determined to be just as great as them! I love seeing artists better than me. It's really nice to be the better artists in all my school, but it really helps to see so many better artists out there~
I was about to take a break from drawing just now but seeing this, I don't think I'll stop until I get Carpal Tunnel

You're welcome! I'm going through that time in any artists life that they think everyone elses work is stronger and better than theirs... For now I'm just sitting back and watching my friends make amazing art and waiting for my chance to shine!

thanks so much for this, i really needed it
i've been so down in the dumps about my artwork lately, so much that i just felt like giving up
i didnt think i was good
but from seeing this stamp, and reading what you had to say in the description, it made me come to realize that i truly do love too draw, and that i am good at what i do, its just that i need to do that extra work to make me better at it
so thank you so much for making this <3
and for my answer to your question,...No, i will never stop doing what i love to do just because there are people out there that are better at it then me. ^ ^ <3

Sometimes it's hard to remember why we do what we do-- I know I have hard times as well, but I always remind myself that I do what I do because I love to do it, not for the pageviews or anything else x3
Glad to be of service, lol. Thanks for reading!

WOw. This is so true. Couple of months ago I stopped drawing because I thought I sucked. But then I realized it doesnt matter!!!

Nice idea for stamp anyway

Love your stamps; they're interesting. Good for starting conversations. ^^
My answer: Never. (Who knew Allen's words of wisdom could be so useful? ^^')
Though, I have a terrible self-esteem. I don't seem to like anything I write, draw, etc. Everbody else's work looks like gold. xD But looking at someone better than me motivates me to do better. ^^ (Except when it comes to digital art. I can't do it. D: The undo button is awesome, but I can never finish a piece of work because of it. xD)

yay~!
(I know right? x'D)
Neither do I. It's exactly the same for me, lol. I just keep doing it anyway since I enjoy doing it, and if I see someone did it better I just think of how I can improve

(Oh, Hoshino, you're influencing us! xD)
Really? Yay, I'm not alone! xD Though, my friends aren't that positive. :/ Some of them gave up on stuff they liked to do because they saw someone do it better. T_T (Now I must show them this stamp. )

xD I'm new to icons, so I'm just using random ones. ^^'
(Me too. Randomly quoting DGM can make people think you're crazy, though. x'D)
-_- I'll whack some sense into them-- I mean, talk. Talk some sense into them. ^^ Aw, your friend too? Well, hopefully he/she will start again soon. ^^
