Presentation

General
"Don't compare yourself to others." my tutor once told me when I was looking at my friend draw some wonderful art. It is a slippery path when you start thinking that and can be difficult to get out. Thankfully I managed to get out of that and focused on my own art and I feel better for what I draw and hopefully improve. I may not use my diploma for much in this world but those words do stick into my mind.
I cannot help but stop and look at some people's galleries here on FurAffinity and I have to say there are some that are presented better than others. Their work and style seems to be consistent such that they only have coloured pictures in their mane page or stick to a theme. I want to improve my presentation so that you guys will enjoy browsing my gallery even more. Now I would have had folders for coloured and pencil works but alas FurAffinity has not yet implemented such a useful management tool. I ask you guys to offer your thoughts on the table on how you feel my presentation can be improved.
Also my boyfriend, Calgor has been having a tough week with his work and I am visiting him but I think I can do more to make his day. Please go to his page and give him a big hug as he will appreciate it. Thank you all kindly.
Now... where is my tea.

Presentation means a lot. Some artists, even if they're really good, have their galleries littered with doodles, and photos of their pets, and memes, with the occasional picture lost between the junk. I wouldn't accuse you of being one of those people though.
Thanks Stamps, I know exactly what you mean and sometimes it encourages me to colour more pictures.

Do you think that principle applies to fiction writing? Sometimes I feel like all my ideas have already been used.
The same does apply to writing yes. If you start comparing yourself to offers it can make you feel worst about your works as you are your own worst critic. As for originality keep in mind that there is no true original idea.

Yeah, I've been saying that for years. Anyway, thanks.
