I've been really distracted lately. Its a mix of stress and other things that has been keeping me from drawing anything decent. Of course the incidents of last week did not help to improve my mood either. You see, last week I was showing my art to someone and they told me that I needed to go back and learn how to do basic anatomy again because apparently I am no good at it. LIES! LIES I say!
Then she continued to tell me how much my art work was not like manga at all. To set the record straight I never said it was. I dont claim to be any genre. I just draw to draw and whatever it looks like to you then that is what it is but I never said "I am an anime artist" or "I am a manga artist."
It pissed me off. Who can really judge art anyway? This was the reason I did not like art classes in my school. The teachers tell you what to draw and then judge how well it is. Who are they to tell you what is art? Art has no rules - it has no laws or boundaries. That is what makes it so great.
Its people that try to put laws on things that upset me. And what really makes it worse is that the people that have NO artistic abilities at all are the one laying down these rules. Those type of people really dont know anything about art if they are trying to judge it. Idiots... leave me alone.
