Description dA dude (c) dA
Stamp 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?

theartsygurl In reply to ??? [2011-07-15 14:48:28 +0000 UTC]

You are totally right, I've been working hard drawing and coloring to so that people would notice me. Before I joined DA I colored my art for fun, but now I do it so that people would like my work and possibly fav/comment/increase my pageviews or watch me. I became completely blind, and turned what I enjoyed doing to something i do just to impress others.
thinking about it is making me tear up
Being here on DA I do want to become a better anime/cartoon artist, but after reading this- I think I should do it at my own pase!

I went through that stage as well ^^" It's much more stressful than doing it because you love to do it ^^'

That's the way to do it!

It makes me want to stop, because I know that I'll never be as good as them.
But it also gives me the hope I need to keep going. And that's what's important.

I know I won't be as good as some of the epic artists here on dA-- and you're definately right. Even so, it shouldn't stop us

deepvision In reply to ??? [2011-07-15 14:40:07 +0000 UTC]

Absolutely there are better; indeed, MUCH better than I. My favorites folder is filled with 'em, because the two criteria I use to select favorites are that they be either more skilled, or more creative than I, and preferably, both. Without the eerie, amazing talents of so many here, I'd have no inspiration: one of the main attractions of this site.

Some people are getting the wrong idea.

It's not about getting jealous about people better than you. It's about being demotivated and feeling down that your work doesnt compare.

ChikitaWolf In reply to Solatoral [2011-07-15 14:46:35 +0000 UTC]

It's multiple things. Some people - it's jealousy. Some, like me - it's demotivating.

I think this stamp can go with both ^^

Sorry, I'm a minor

There are always those who don't know the true defintion of "critique" . It's annoying when they use the "critique" card as an excuse. It's like: Um no. That's "deconstructive" critique smartness >3<

Ah wellz x'D Glad my stamp could make an impact!
