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 !

thanks for making this. I have a few friends who always get depressed over not getting enough views, comments, favs, whatever. but art is about expressing yourselves, not pleasing the masses

Seeing good art makes me want to try to create good art. That the same with literature.
I used to draw a lot in elementary school, but then in forth grade, my last few art pieces and my folder for art class got thrown away, so I kinda lost the zest for trying to improve.
It took me find Paint.NET and GIMP for me to become interested in drawing things digitally. It is also because of a manga that I have been trying to draw things by hand starting with the simple stuff and moving up to the harder stuff.

That's so very true.
That's why I do more digital art than traditional.

I got a tablet... but to be honest, I don't use it as much as I thought I would ^^" But ya know, for drawings and stuff, it's most definately useful ^^"
But even so, with a scanner, you're pretty well off haha

I'm like "You just don't understand me, I have 20 or so watchers that compliment my art, like my art, and say I improve! Your just an idiot that is blind to the fact people draw epic art, I belive all you see is Scribbles..."
He always snaps back at me for it, but I don't really care XD
I really have improved tough |D
