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 TOO??? It's always glitching my lower case x for some reason
But the upper case is fun
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah... xD (What the frick, it's working now. ) Love the D: face icon. x'D (... Why is the 'x' working now?!)
Yes, uppercase is fun too. But I'm lazy, so I don't like to press the 'shift' key. x'D

It goes off and on like an annoyin' little bugger
LOL I like doing my "xD"s with lower case "x" -- so when I lose the lower case I start getting panicky, lmao
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
-_- DA needs to fix that if they can...
xD Same thing here. It was the first time it happend to me, so I was really panicked. My younger brother walked by and he asked what I was so upset about. I replied, "The 'x' won't work!" He looked at me like I was an idiot, sighed, and walked away. x'D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I dunno if it's dA to be honest ((unless websites can do that 0.0"))
Really? My brother just laughed at me TwT
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ehh, maybe it is, maybe it's not. Websites can do weird stuff to your computer.
xD Your brother's a lot nicer. Well, my brother's seven, so maybe that's why.
... Wait, what were we talking about before?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL-- my brother's 14 x'D They're a lot worse when they turn 11 ||-_-
I think--... I dunno.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They get worse?! 
Getting off topic is so easy...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, it's all boys, lol
Especially for me, lol. ((Darn ADD -brick'd-))
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xD Alright, that assurse me... Somewhat.
Haha, me too. ( I dunno if I have ADD... My friends swear I do, though.
Oh, I think we were talking about... Ponies? xD *brick'd* (Sorry, I'm stealing that word from you. *SHOT*)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ponies~!
I like brick'd better than "shot" a lot of the times, lmao
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, ponies~ xD Now I want to draw a pony...
xD I've always used "shot", so I'm used to that one. ^^' Though, brick'd is cool too. After all, both are painful. xD

I'm not going to lie to you wolf
it 80% will most likely do that
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can call me Wolfy ^w^
Many people will. :/ It kinda sucks, cuz they really can turn into wonderful artists
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
not if you saw my artwork :/ I think its poor quality and kinda lame.
I've seen many a person turn into a wonderful artist throughout there years.
It's funny though I'm dating a painter here and she doesn't intimidate me at all
(probably cause she doesn't so anime and such :/)

You should have seen my first written stuff *sweatdrop* I'm literally horrified by it. But now people like my writing 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OH! now if you talk about writing now that's when I get happy because I love it so much. I plan to be a professional writer and childrens author.
I do have good self-esteem about my writing skills just not my drawing ones I would actually love to read your stuff :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not all that talented with drawing either, lmao
Meh.. my stuff is over 56 chappies >///<

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
wow...I'm just...flabbergasted >.>
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Lol, no, but it can sure squash my self esteen sometimes. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, but I have to remind myself I'm still younger than a majority of the other artists; still doesn't work sometimes. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I use that often xD And other ways to trick myself, lol. Like "they have more tools to use than me anyway" or "I'm good at other areas too at least"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL!!! Me too. XDDD "They have GIMP!" Or something. XD Too bad I suck at digital art. Oh well, traditional is the bomb.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I absolutely ADORE traditional <3 And I can't do traditional to save my life >3<"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL! Traditional is the only form of art (aside from writing) that I've really tried. XD I guess making bracelets counts but I don't sell those or post pictures so yeah. Only reason I'm good at traditional is cos it's the only art I've known for my whole life. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've latched onto digital coloring (cuz I totally rely on that "undo" button ), and I don't have all the tools I'd need for traditional >3< I wish I was good crafts, it looks fun xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Rofl, I can't digital colour for the life of me. And I've gotten better with my traditional colouring cos I've been so careful. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I will get better! Until I see the next submission from someone I'm watching...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What can ya do? x'D
I'd say stop "watching" them... wait.. that sounds creepy. Like stalking. Though isn't it technically stalking?
Forget that, lol x'D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, I guess just wait until I'm better. XD

Whenever I see an artist who is insanely talented, I envy their talent. I don't get jealous because that implies that I can't be bothered to work for it. Envy implies that I want to get to where they are.
I'm happy to work for it because I know that they wouldn't have got where they are now if they didn't work for it so I'll work for it. Either way their artwork is brilliant and I love browsing it looking for techniques I could improve in my own artwork
So true a stamp
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Jealousy and envy are always confused these days ^^" ((I confuse them all the time, lol))
Exactly! I love looking at other people's artworks x3 It gives me new ideas and things I'd like to try for myself
Thank you
