DA is a mirror to the world

A post edited from the replies I gave to 3 artists who suffered from DA community:

sign...
I have said this... I will say it again. To famous artists, infamous artists, unfamous artists.....

My advice is... the WHOLE WORLD will be like DA... whether internet or not... if your art is recongized, people would try to benefit from it, rip it, destroy it, flame it. The history itself has said it again and again.

On DA, it's a community that is well set up, not perfect, but it's well done compare to alot of places:

As well as art thief, there are people who look out for you as well... as well as there are flamers, there are people who truely s

The blind can see

"When you couldn't see, you are seeing something more than you normally can."

The blind can draw, and guess what, they don't have perspective problems like we do. They can draw out perspective, and objects without stylization, why? Because they study, touch, feel the object, and they know in their mind that the object has an angle to them... and they connected those clues accordingly.

When I first read about this in my school's notice, I was stunned.
Later, after six month of calligraphy practice, my teacher told me: "write the words that is on your heart."

Because when I open my eyes to write, I couldn't put down what was really on my he

Meme- Find your styleby =mayshing

Chinese:

My take on the meme:

Other works:

Developing your style for younger artist

Updating your style for older artists, or widening your style range for specalized artists.

How to use: You can write, paste, or draw into the meme, upto you. Its for your own guide to figure out your direction. After you have figured it out, go full force studying in that direction until you achieve best result, then you can repeat the process to update your style.

-----

Rant:
The problem these days is that we have too ... TOO many awesome art styles to reference from.

We ask, "what is my style?" Or "What do I want my style to be like?" or we get the "That looks like naruto" treatment and wants to update but not know where to go.

"You will find it with time." That's what most pros will say to you.

But there CAN BE a formula.

I was at a loss for where I want to go with my next step until I got this advice from a friend who will remain in secret.

I find that using this meme helps myself to go to my next direction to update my style.

This meme guide is to help you to narrow down your influence, or widen it (if you only have 1 style you liked and studied from)
