Out of it at deviantart

I'm still out of it at deviantart... call it a little bit of trauma from what happened to my first DA meet... it just made me realize a lot of stuff I have been neglecting or have been taking for granted.

First of all, my reasons for drawing. Is it this obsession from getting 10000 page views? Shouldn't I be drawing for the love of my art instead of wanting to impress people?

Second, is my art style actually growing? Am I giving my characters enough life? Should I take my art style to a new level and not let anime be the premise that depicts art as art?

Third, am I taking the necessary steps needed to achieve my dreams? Shouldn't I be focusing on finishing writing my novel than moving on to other stuff?

Sure my primary style of drawing is anime, particularly shoujo. But it's my style. I shouldn't be ashamed of it. It captures the essences and gives life to the characters and stories I created.

I may not be as great an artist as most people here but is greatness measured through pageviews or the way it's anime or it's cute? Of course not. Art is about giving life.

I should recapture that focus so I could begin to create life no matter how crude my art style is. It shouldn't matter as long as I know it's mine.

Sorry about the so called summer projects but I need to deal with this issue first before moving on. It's high time actually start finishing what I started... 8 years ago....
