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?

If you really love doing it, you should >3< It's not pleasant to give up what you love to do, cuz that's all you think about. And you may just regret it later on-- which isn't pleasant either.
Why should something like that stop you? Everyone started from scratch at some point in their lives-- even the incredibly talented artists we have today!

This is true.
But the thing that bugs me is that no one notices.
I do love it, but when it seems like no one cares at all it makes you want to do it less, know what I mean?

Have you tried joining groups? That's the easiest way to get your art out there~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've joined groups, but I never submit. ;3;
I just don't have the time or I'm on TF2 constantly, OTL.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ya gotta submit if you want them to see it, lol
Find time xP No one's gonna see it otherwise unless they somehow look up the tags for it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I never put tags since I cna't really associate my drawings with anything. :C
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But you can associate a drawing with anything! You can put your username in there, what it was inspired by, the title of it, what the drawing is of-- all kinds of stuff~!

:Y When I can get into groups, I'll try to actually submit when I can. Thanks for the tips.

i joined DA to improve. the better artists give me inspiration

Of course not! It just motivates me to continue to improve and get better!

In whole honesty it used to discourage me... But coincidentally I just recently learned to let it motivate me. Afterall, those artists were once at our level, but that didn't stop them from doing what they love and improving their skills with time. Now as I see beautiful artworks or styles I wish I could draw like, I use it as motivation to keep going. I'll be a beautiful artist.... one day....

I love this! I'm a really really bad painter, but I love to paint. I took up photography due to health issues and found I've a talent for it..... when I first joined dA, I tried to "become popular" by imitating those people's work. But it did not fill me as an artist... I've gone back to doing what I love and being true to my ownself... it's good to know that there are others out there that are "better/different" than me 
Great Stamp!!!

Yeah, that's something I gotta admit xD I love getting comments, views, and favs, but I also remind myself: Don't do it for those-- do what you do because you love to do it
