Baw alot of people started that way...me included xD
I just made sure to tear myself from refrencing as soon as I could orz
even these days there's no shame in refrencing youknow. it's jsut a step in learning xD
pff it's a personal annoyance but i noticed the more...popular people tend to post like...WIPS in the main gallery e_e then it makes the top 4 and blocks out some other... better work from getting there :C it's kinda sad. (and on top of that they normally have it finished and submitted later that day or the next morning D:| ) I'm honestly hoping people realize that the draft section exists for a reason.
LOL you'll get those everywhere it seems. DA is nice and all but I like the otaku because it feels more like a friendly based place than a place full of drama and that kind of stuff like Da orz easier to be accepted here maybe?
fufufu either way, time solves all...just depends how you use it cB *becomes pro-cause LOL*
Are you kidding, Jingle? I LOVE your style and your doodles. (Sometimes its the messy things that are really cool.) And I commend your lack of fanarts because for some people, that's all they do. But you, you have originality and it really shows in your style and looseness. I think a lot of my problems now as an artist is that I copied a lot of manga pictures and stuff when I was starting out. Don't get me wrong, I think I grew as an artist and learned some things doing that, but I think that's why I have trouble making up my own poses and often have to resort to references. T^T
But for you, I say keep going. I know what you mean by getting tired of the same people making the front page. In my opinion, I think with some of those people - its their # of subcribers that gets them on the front page. They can submit a stick person quoting House "Still not Lupus" and it will make the front page over a beautifully CGed drawing.
So don't get discouraged. There are a lot of little kids here that don't know how to critique art. I was taught how to critique at an art school I went to for a couple years. So I know how to do it, but other people may not. DA is better for that kind of stuff, but you still get those "Pwetty pic. Me like it." comments. XP
I'm gonna stop now. (this is getting really long) But I love your art and will always be looking forward to seeing more. =)
Paint isnt that bad...just give it a try *patpat* :C
I hate these crashes...they're just annoying orz It's good that youre doing good though cB Don't question it, just hope it lasts LOL
and bah. I see it as I've had my exposure but my style isn't to their taste :C
therefore I'm not expecting too much more from this point lawl
LOL now that I think about it, most of the times I use something other than purple I don't post it here '_'; but yeah...I'm trying to kind of stray from the purple a bit...I just like the yellow cuz how contrasty it is cB
lol you're the first person to ever call me that 'o'
*cracks knuckles and prepares for the future* Bu
Bah It's not as hard as you guys think...especially if youre a traditional artist with a tablet xD
lawl I think I'm the only person around these parts that tends to blend strange colors like that x.D (to this day I wonder how i started)
yeah '_' I see it alot...I have my moments.... It honestly never happened before but well...lets just say when your art buddy is so far ahead you feel...well left behind LOL
yeah I don't think I could ever do that x.D Cuteness just isn't a word in my dictionary these daysss *drawing too much blood orz*
Thanks Cx I'm glad it helped lawl. More or less I'm glad I sucessfully was able to transfer my thoughts on the subject LOL DB
*A* UWAH! That's AMAZING~! I wish I could do that on paint... TTwTT It feels good to look at...
Don't feel bad, hon! I'm in somewhat of the same rut. I go through dry spells and weak points, right now I happen to be doing really well but, I have no idea why. '_'
But, your art definitely deserves more attention than it gets, and that's why I'm so proud of you for getting a DD. I only wish I could get one... ;>_> *slightly envious* XD
Honestly, I having no problems with your drawing skillz. Perhaps what you should do is try out other coloring styles? Mix and match a few? See what you can come up with. Try using less Purple-Yellow for shades and highlights and inch out of your box. Don't be afraid to try something new on that thar color wheel! Gray-White can be just as good, depending on the mood you want to convey.
*huggles* No worries, Chibi-chan! Life gets better! Just keep breathing!
sdasafs, *could never draw something as awesome as that in paint*
There's nothing wrong with your drawings, actually the way you draw your characters that attract me at first, followed by your good sense in coloring. I could never blend in different colors without it turning into something... weird.
So don't feel bad about yourself, I've seen a lot of good artists on DA being down about their arts and it just kills me on the inside how they are destroying themselves and their self-esteem. Besides these artists say their arts suck and when I look at mine, it's... far inferior. So cheer up, it's better to enjoy what you do rather than clawing up for popularity. It's an endless rat race for popularity in the arts community that suck the creativity out of most artists and some even resort to kawaii-desuness (not a bad thing but if too much, it can be a bit bad). I'm included, at one point.
And congratulations on your DD! I saw the tutorial, really help a lot. I never gave a lot of thought about it before I read your tutorial. :) Cheers.
Ah well...a daily deviation is where the mods of the site pick about....10-20 deviations off the whole site and feature them where everyone sees them :D
and thanks Cx
yeah...It's pretty discouraging but...what can ya do *shrugs* aww thanks :.o
It's too bad cute ain't my thing I guess xD
I know O: It's amazing how many submissions go unnoticed u_u
*should make a feature journal now that i think about it*
and thanks. I think I'm good for now xD I tend to have my vents every now and then :.D
it was actually a tutorial x.D not a drawing. Thats probably why the effect wasnt as long but... *shrugs* its amazing how easy i can discourage myself e_e (short after i tend to feel beter 60% of the time...like right now |: )
I dont mind critisism (and even if it was the colors I wouldnt stop using them LOL....theyre fun to screw with Bu )
hm '_' ive been weaving my way around that bit slowly...I actually draw them because i like it at first xD though half the time i tend to erase and adjust...idunno I'll explore +n+
normally broad chins just...dont give the effect i want. EVEN IF THEY ARE MORE REALISTIC AND LOGICAL *weeps*
but yeah I'll explore LOL
