Art

Dear Anyone,
I'd like to let you know that whether you draw or write or take pictures or do some other form of creative media, you aren't a bad artist. I've had a lot of people think I'm a really fantastic artist, yet I feel like other artists like http://djcoulzanimalsonly.deviantart.com/ or http://madameleota.deviantart.com/ are better, so I have a new theory. I draw what I see, and therefore I like what I draw. It's how I see the world. So you think my wolves look like lions? That's alright, maybe I see wolves that way. There is no "good" or "bad" artist, just a unique point of view of the world. Today, I started to draw a trash can sitting in front on me, and it ended up being a laser-shooting robot surrounded by other evil animated inanimate objects. In my mind, things like this happen all the time. So, if you feel inferior to me or any other artist, don't. Don't listen to people criticize and tell you how talented (or untalented) you are. If you want to draw LIKE someone else, you want to draw DIFFERENT, not better. And don't trace, be original, and show your uniqueness.
Just a word to the wise: Draw what you see, and you can't go wrong.
Love to you all,
Scar
