The world of artists is a terrible place.
A place where good artists are treating as gods, poor artists are analy raped for not having experience, and anyone who doesn't draw is just ignored in general.
Memes are the rage, insulting others is considered a normal passtime, and helping people is totally unheard of. A dog eat dog world you could say.
People just don't suddenly get good at something. It takes years of practice, obviously. But nobody gives that one small artist a chance. You just see them sitting there, and the poor artist clings to the smallest thing they can. Most simply slip off and give up, life growing more important. Impatient is more like it.
If people would just give other artists a chance, they would improve. It's always nice to look at a person improving infront of your eyes. But, everyone either ignores them and acts too harsh, just because they can't suddenly be good.
I mean, them alone posting something takes a lot of courage. Seriously, a lot of artists have self-esteem issues. And when a person suddenly crashing their whole world in them, it ruins them.
Now I'm not saying protect them from everything. And some people may just not 'get it' but, acting like a total jerk on something someone worked on just.. isn't right.
Heck if all if anyone will read this journal, but, it's just a ramble about what's on my mind.

With that said, I am aware that there are those types of people on the internet. A good friend of mine who had the courage to post his first attempt at drawing got mocked by some random jerk. I told him not to worry about it because people like that do exist and lent him a few pointers to get better (though his picture was rather good for a first attempt.)
May I ask, has this happened to you, or did you just feel a moment of cynical insight?
