Wow that makes me.......sad. lol but hey truth hurts, i need to kick my ass and work harder. I dont believe im a total failure but this is actually an eye opener.
I seriously would have cried if I watched this video three years ago. I feel that I have improved drastically since then but always push myself to do better.
The video may seem a bit discouraging for some people, but I feel that everyone has a chance to improve. There's too many people here on dA that would rather give up just because they can't draw a toe or something...it's sad.
In my opinion a real artist follows their own rules and does what makes them happy! ...Unless you want to be a professional, then yes I agree with most of the rules.
PEOPLE WHO ONLY DRAW THE SAME FRIGGIN' ANIME CHARACTERS.
I see this all the time... there are people with galleries and all they draw is Naruto and Sasuke or whatever. They may appear to have talent, but everything in their gallery is essentially the same thing, which leads me to believe they can't draw anything else, or they can't come up with their own ideas. And it drives me nuts when they have 4,500 people watching them despite all their work being the same stupid thing.
A little strict especially about the "being confident" stuff. I hardly believe artists are confident in themselves when they make a work. Also 51. When you do nothing but compare yourself to other artist.
Indeed... I think another one is that they never try a different style. They draw the same thing over and over, without ever trying something different.

It's called practice...do it!
