Quote by DeathPulseYes, it
appears that someone told me that what i was doing wasn't art. I am self taught and draw in pen. The point is that
what i did wasn't even skill.
I am still confuse as to what "art" really is. I can give examples, but I can't give a straight
definition. Since I am not that much of a critical thinker, I think (with little logic) art is copying from real life
and appling real life properties into imagination base art works. I remember someone saying, "You have to follow
the rules in order to break them". It seems that nature plays a big role in art. ^_^'
I am confused about the whole "art" thing, but having the ability to copy (not tracing) a drawing perfectly by
observing, means that you have some level of skills. I know that skill does eventually = art. I don't think
it's wrong to learn from other people's artworks because I am not sure if there are any morals to learning how
to draw. I guess there is no wrong way to learn how to draw or create art as long as you can gain the proper skills from
it.
I think I am even more confused now... -_-' Keep drawing and don't let your older sister tell you that you
don't have any skills. If the artist that you admire listen to people's "one down" feed back, then
their works would not be non-existent. I recommend continuing with your passion and don't let anyone discourage you
because maybe one day you'll prove them wrong. ;)
I know this is stupid of me to point out, but I think that learning from animal's art is wrong. XD
