It’s My Style - Not A Bad Thing?

Lemme explain, and before people come at me with various… ahem, colorful responses, read the following paragraph first.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a style when it comes to drawing. But, it doesn’t hurt to learn the basics (anatomy, posing, etc.) so that your style can look great.

HOWEVER, the whole “it’s my style” thing got ruined by 13-year-olds (and quite a few not-so-13-year-olds) falling back on that to excuse every little thing wrong about their drawings.

Because of that, it now seems that having a style is bad, and that anatomy in all drawings have to be 100%, or the artist is automatically considered to be butthurt to every little thing that could possibly be considered as critique.

I have a style. Yeah, “it’s my style”, I know. BUT, I do want to improve on it, when it comes to anatomy, posing, and other things. It used to be that I wouldn’t take critique… but that was a LONG time ago.

That’s my take on “it’s my style”. Now to wait for people coming after me, as it’s to be expected here.

I decline most of my compliments.

I would say thank you, I appreciate your kind words, etc. But deep inside, i don’t really feel what i’m telling them.. I always that what I was only mediocre. That some other artist out there is always better. I never had the creativity. I’ve always had the skill. The skill to copy one artist’s style. Or another artist’s work. I hate it. I guess i’m the in the fine line between the talent and skill. People told me I’ll get somewhere with my “talent.” But i never believed it. My definition of talent is an in-born skill. I was not a good artist when i was in elementary.

Im so fucking done with this.

Why cant you all fucking leave artists alone? This site shouldn’t be about “OH!! I LOVE SOANDSO ARTIST” or “I hate this artist’s attitude and the way they draw.” This should be about confession of your OWN art or what inspires you. Starting drama like that just really ticks me off. If you don’t have anything nice to say keep your god damn mouth closed. No one wants to hear about how you dislike someones art or love it. If you like it good for you. If you don’t, leave it alone and move on. Fuck.
