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 !

Envious about work is kind of pointless (I just wish I could've started doing fun stuff like that when I was 10-13 but jealous of the ARTWORK? Big No-no) in general.
I remember when I bought a reference book for figure drawing, the artist said it's bad to compare artists to yourself cause it brings down self esteem. it doesn't come from thin air, you know. I take took long because I get ideas inbetween when I'm working.
Sometimes age can lower self esteem too. But, that just means they had more time in their hands to practice.

When I see artwork better than mine, I usually just get inspired more than jealous

That only makes me work harder

Lucky I had a good friend to get me to stop caring..........enough to post

Sometimes it does. But that's just because I have low self-esteem right now and think I'm utter failure at everything. Seeing that almost everyone is better than me at pretty much everything just gives me more proof of that.
Usually I don't think about it though and just enjoy the person's artwork.
They also used to encourage me to keep trying to improve and get better, but I have a 'why bother' mindset right now... due to my low self-esteem and other things. Gotta work on that.

Wow, there are days where it seems like every one is better and I feel like giving up, but this really sparks my fires, gets me to draw more!

So true. I know that I'm not the best fanfic author out there, heck no I'm not. But that doesn't mean I can't stop what I love doing. I've got one fanfic writer that I really respect and she's like a role model to me. Just because she is better, that doesn't mean I will stop. It's just what I like to do best. :3 And there's nothing you can do to stop me.

As they say nobody perfect everyone has there unique style of drawing.

There is allways going to be better art out there that goes for everyone.

That remembered me what Kotetsu Kaburagi said in Tiger & Bunny: "Maybe others will laugh at me, and maybe they will say Iยดm not qualified, but I will not stop to do what I love: being a hero."
And what the hell, he IS a hero.

No matter what kind of style , tallent , or any other activities , we still all have our own things to do like drawing or making stories no matter how good or weak we are. Improving drawing skills is very good , and if you have any difficult to face with , why not asking other people to help ya?
We also know that there arent people like that , more like ,, Hey my art is better than yours '' or stuff like that isnt very respectfull. Thats more like hurting someone's feelings and forcing them to quit.

Amazing and inspirational stamp.
It happened quite many times that my motivation to draw was... impacted by other better and more known artists. Afterwards I was reminded that I shouldn't give up from that and instead get encouraged to do better. Now this stamp reminded me about that again

Rejection is the rule at SheezyArt; users group together to outcast anybody they don't want in their little group.
DA is not perfect but the user base is balanced out.
