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?

:) That's actually very inspiring. I'm no artist at all, but I love to write. And while I know I need lots of practice, I love it. And I know if I keep writing I'll eventually get better.

One of the only things I consider myself partially good at xD I LOVE writing <3
And you really will-- I look back on my stuff and shudder. I'm sure a couple years from now I'll do the same with my current stuff, lol. Yay for improvement!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xD I do the same. I was cleaning out my folders and found some old writings. I was sitting there staring at it and thinking: "What the heck?? I wrote THIS??"
So, I do believe I've improved. :3
And now I wanna read something you've written. Dx

Thumbs up for Wolfy once again!
Well, thanks to my wrist hurting if I'll work it too much I might never become as good artist as I'd want to, and I don't think my style is so great... but guess what, I don't care!
I love drawing my funny little doodles, be they artistically great or not. And quite many people seem to love them too so I guess my love for drawing doesn't go to waste at all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Whoot~!
That wrist is so mean to you >3<
They're artistically sensitive
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, my wrist has been like that ever since I was a child so I guess it's something I was born with. Too much tension in the muscles and so on... I very easily get hurt from working too hard, not just the wrist, it's this whole freakin' body of mine. ^^'
Yesh, funny doodles take over~

People who see my drawings and say that they can only draw a stick man and says that i should do something about it. I never wached myself as an expert at drawing i keep telling myself that there are tonns of other great artists out there that are better than me. i don't know why i keep telling myself that, i'm not spechial maby that's the reason. I don't want the attention i'm just doing it becuse that is the only thing that i know how to express my feelings. after nobody wanted to play with me in child school i could only sit there my back against the wall and just draw, i never lerned the soichal links or codes, and when someone are just ripping the drawing in half in front of my face telling me things that my drawings suck and it's just a waste of time. My parents telling me that there is no way i can live on just drawing and so on. I'm just drawing becuse it is the only thing i know how to express myself. But i don't see why even anyone would bother telling me such things all i want is just to be able to do what i want not what my parents or the other kids want......come to think of it i don't think i know what i want....never mind thanx for trying to chear me up though

Silly xD If you enjoy doing it DON'T STOP DOING IT!
I've learned that over and over again. Those with ADD and ADHD have it tough, that's just how it is for us, which is another reason why a lot of us have social problems-- but should that make us give up??
Don't stop drawing just cuz someone was a jackass and decided to bully you! I've learned to view it as a challenge actually. If someone says I can't do it or they try to put me down, I simply work to prove them wrong.

thanx for chearing me up. other people who are reading this might sound wierd and think that is it even posible to not understand that is the reason why i got notes in my penal and gazes from the other students in my class this year, i'm 17 and people are just thinking so what if you got bullied just get on with it. it might not look ike it but i'm so mentaly damaged that if i did'nt have that one friend in child school i might not be here talking to you right now. it felt like the entire school was against me for 7 years and then suddenly when i start in 8th grade they are just acting friendly and says that they where wrong. what do you think i felt when they said that. I've been used because i got horses and a free ride on mine. they said after we where finished riding we could do homework together. want to know what happend. after we where finnished they said they had to go home, leaving me to take care of Diana and my homework by my own and after theire promise to help with both things, i was left sitting with a giant klump in my throat and stomach. Can you even imagion how i reacted too them when they said they wanted to be friends that time and then in 8th grade expecting me to forgive them after what they did to me. glue on my char, hiding my shoes, stealing my bike, yelling me too move when my back break on my bike snapped in the middle of a hill in the bike track a bleeding knee and a bike over my legs, ripping and destroying my drawings. showing my desk each time they went past it.
throwing paper balls at me. claiming that they never did bully me only that i made it all up and that it was an acsident. tell me should i even reconsidder forgiving them

Ah, yes, the classic "Get on with it". Kinda hard to "get on with it" when that memories stuck in your head forever ._. Though I guess you could also see as move on?
Ditto. :/ I won't go into details, but I understand ya 100%.
Forgiveness is an interesting thing. (I'll spare you from religious ranting, lol).
And you know what? When they do mean stuff to you-- just smile and say thank you. Don't be rude about it, just be calm about it. And don't react to them when they're bullying you-- cuz that's exactly what they want. They want you to react-- to cry-- to feel hurt-- because that boosts their ego. So simply don't react

i realy did got on with my life. but when i stated that garbadge had an interesting smell, my father is a garbadgman and as a little kid i've gone with him to his work, gather the bags and stand on behind the truck, the smel smelled sorta sweet in the truck don't ask why but that's what my opinion is. but ever shinche i mentioned that to them and acted all confused when they said god morning to me, i alsways gave a look of confusion, wether or not if they ment it or not, i think that's when it started.

That's the whole part with "thinking before speaking" (which is another huge problem for us as well)
I try to think on how others may react to my words before I speak them outloud. Otherwise I'd be blurting random stuff at the lunch table and they'd think I'm crazier than they already think I am x'D

sucks being born with ADHD and the most anoying part wich i somewhat hate but laugh at now, Thet thought ADHD was contaigus and avoided me at all cost once i was standing besides someone they averted in the oposite side telling me too keep my wierdness to myself

i mean it i was just sitting on my desk in the far left cornor colse to the door when the boys had a little paper ball war when Gaute landed on my table knocking my milk down on the floor ever shinche that day i alwasy put the cap back on no matter what it would be, and each time i see him i would joke about it (he was the one that bullied me the most but he always seemed to be sorry when he apologized, i could quite litteraly see his guilt in his eyes but i never knew what that was at the time now that i can reed people better i can claraly see it when he is around apparently he still feel sorry for what he did. he even one day when the boys would joke with him and lock the door. when he was banging on the door asking to get inside noone did anything, so i ended up unlocking it, he basiclky flew on me. When i fell to the ground holding my chin and looked up at him he asked who was it that locked the door and he acctually helped me up....again with the lenght

No way, just because I'm a total amateur art-wise compared to nearly everyone here on DA doesn't mean I'm gonna let it stop me from doing what I enjoy.

Summer school?? D:
Everyone seem to be in summer school >3< I don't think I'd survive that, lol
And I hate math too, lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I do too the algebra class is three hours long. and it's fastpaced so you go through two weeks of math in one day. Which means more homework. It's worse than actual school. but enough with the sob story. Thanks for talking with me, I have to go now.

AWESOME STAMP~!!! i totally agree~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
not a problemo~ [ i've never thought about quiting drawing... too obsessed with it lol but i can imagine its pretty frustrating if you feel down when you look at other peoples art. this stamp pretty much explains it though, 'focus on your love and passion for art and keep on doing what you love' ]
I REALLY LOVE YOUR STAMPS xD IMMA BE YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN TOO lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've had my downers, lol. To the extent where I paused for a time.. till I realized I missed it and that it didn't matter if others were better than me. What mattered was that it was fun!
YAYYYY
