If you cant accept me as I am.......
11 years ago
How freaky is this..
....Please UNWATCH me
'
I have been thinking lately after someone who shall remain nameless has been giving me advice that is not needed. And in a way that is unwanted.
essentially this person has been, and still is, trying to give me advice which comes across as "stop being yourself, and do it this way like everyone else"
I am a self-taught artist. And while I can appreciate people wanting to help me out, there is a limit. Telling me that offering to ink other people's sketches to learn to do lineart is wrong, that its little more than a crutch... No.
I have my own way of learning. I am not going to just forget what works for me and do what "Everyone else does" It may seem like a crutch to you, but it is an effective way for ME to learn.
I am not trying to be rude but If you cant accept me for myself and insist on constantly trying to force me to conform into YOUR standard definition of an "Artist" by telling me that the method that I learn best by is "wrong" or "just a crutch". Then Please do me a favor, Unwatch me, Never message me again. And Let me learn in a way that I FEEL IS BEST and stop trying to change me to conform to your ideas of "You can only learn by doing A,B, and C" Because that kind of negativity I do not need.
That was what nearly killed off my creativity in the first place. and I will NOT let it happen again.
Every artist is unique, every artist has different methods of learning.
But clearly in all your "Experience" you have come to see artists as carbon copies of each other and therefore seek to strip away thier individuality.
Again, I have my flaws, I DO have mental disabilities (Asperger's Syndrome, ADD/ADHD, Bi-polar, etc) as much as you passed them off as just excuses. I still have them. I have flaws I try my best to get around. If you, or anyone else, cant handle it. Please unwatch and move on.
As an artist I want to learn new methods, which will replace old ones I no longer need.
What I DONT need is someone constantly telling me "Arts! UR DOIN IT WRONG!" and telling me the methods that work best for me are just a crutch.
I appologize for the ranty-ness but I had to get this off my chest. Its been building up on my brain for a while. Sorry again, but whats said is said, I bare my soul. Just cant stand people who believe that you can ONLY learn a certain way. And any other way is a crutch or not learning anything at all.
Anyways, I go back to my learning, My doodles. :D
Have a happy day :)

Weirdo
I used to do something similar, offering to make people models so I could practice. Somehow, a few people looked down on that.
Yet I'm still getting better. Sorry that happened to you.
Yet my way of learning and improving as much as I am now is "just a crutch" to them. Even if it is showing results...
A couple gave me 'advice', telling me I had to do this and use that. Told me to stay aware from certain places.
Yet when I used those places, and continued using my 'inferior programs', I not only got better in record time, I was able to pump out work MANY times faster than them.
I even got to a point when I thought my work was on par with theirs, almost surpassing.
I agree with you, just keep doing what you like and what works for you.
If the other people have that much of a problem with it, they can eat dirty pizza.
