When I look around on dA I notice that most people seem to have a goal. And I don't just mean the common goal to improve because I assume that almost every artist has that anyway. No, I mean a somewhat clear vision of the kind of art they want to do. Be it anime, animals, scenery, realism etc etc.
But then I think to myself that I don't really have that at all. Sure I have phases where I think, oh that's it, that's the one thing I really want to get better at! A few days later though it's something completely different. I just feel like I want to be able to do it all. I want to be able to create high quality art in all fields at one point. Not just scenery, I want it for my pixels, my chibis, for realistic portraits, for general studies...
And I'm far from it. Now I was thinking...what if that's exactly what keeps me from improving with the speed I'd like to. Because I can't seem to keep focus, because I jump from one thing to the next. On the other hand though I notice that I can draw lessons from everything I do and apply it to one of the other fields I am working at.
Anyway, that's just me getting carried away.


And then maybe you should check this out:

There's a lot of truth in this and I'd advise you to read the whole description.
Personally I've been thinking a lot that it is a little unfair how some categories will always get more exposure but the current system does indeed drown out a lot of amazing works that are in the "normal" categories.
But just read it yourself.
hope u reach to where u want
i had set my goal, but many things made me stop drawing, from the computer fail til busy life in RL
so im still far away from my goal
yeah it's always a long and winding road but if we stick to it we'll get to the goal in the end. :3
Thing is that I feel I am fairly good at everything (wow this is not supposed to sounds arrogant), but I don't know if I'll ever be a pro at anything. ^^ But I guess I can live with that.
Kinda like: Jack of all trades, master of none. xD
I'd love to make one for you.^^
Just send me the details in a note, okay? :3
