Description
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 !

Heck no! The more I draw, the better I shall become. Me giving up on drawing would be like a fish giving up swimming.(If that even makes sense XD).
Thanks for making such an awesome stamp.

the better people actually help. i look at the details and try to add that to my style of art
it might seem unoriginal, but originality is just a combination of unoriginal ideas :>

Of course there are better artists o.o Without them, I wouldn't improve I guess, since they inspire me to work hard for growing better and better!^^

SlashKunoichi [2013-02-12 23:48:46 +0000 UTC]
This is very motivating. I have mdd (major depressive disorder) so it's very hard for me to keep drawing. I would always take it out on my drawings (like rip them up) whenever I feel upset. This made my day Thanks a lot!!

alcamoths In reply to ??? [2012-12-19 08:46:13 +0000 UTC]
This is probably the best stamp I've ever seen on dA. I think, not only as artists, but as people, we spend too much time worrying about what everyone else is doing instead of simply focusing on our own thing. We tend to forget the fact that what makes our art our own is the simple fact that it belongs to us -- nobody else will have art exactly like ours, and if we give it enough time and patience, it will grow into something wonderful.
Just my two cents, I guess.

I really love this stamp because I left DA two years ago, but then I asked myself why I stopped. I just had excuses like "she/he is an artist, and I am..? Nothing". That felt sad, really, sad. But now I draw again, I know that there are better artist than me in this world. I just created this new account in DA, and soon I'll post my draws.
Really, this post made my day! ♥ Thanks
(Um.. and sorry if I had mistakes, I'm still learning english~ :C )

No way. And all the hate against basing/dolling and crap going around won't stop me either. It's not illegal. I give credit. I even ask for permission if I can. -.-

My aunt told me once that there would always be someone smarter, prettier, more artistic, etc. than me, and there would always be someone more foolish, less attractive, less artistic, etc. than me. This stamp definitely reflects that hard lesson to learn. We aren't superpeople; there will be people better than us, but like your stamp says, that shouldn't get in the way of our passions.
