this is rediculous guys

who cares about how other draw. if you love it, then do it! and you simply have to encourage tem to emprove, not stomp over they're hard work, and telling them that what they're doing is all wrong. That really crushes a persons self esteem sometimes

and some people draw just because they love it, and some people create pieces that express an emotion they are feeling or maybe even someone elses. its also being able to create something beautiful out of almost nothing. i believe art is all of these things.
i started drawing only anime, and man did i suck O.o and my anatomy was WAY off. but for years i kept drawing and drawing, and my proportions improves SO much. of course, its not PERFECT but i can see the improvement and im proud of myself. and only now, 7 years later, next semester ill be taking an art class that focuses only on human anatomy.
i believe that the more you continue to draw the more experience and knowledge you gain, and you improve so much if you keep at it. of course, art classes can help alot as well, but i like being able to start off on my own, like i did :3
and please dont bash artists. there are many kinds of artists out there, and i want to be one of them. not every artist thinks the same or sees things the same way. artists see the world differently. or so i've been told by many people.
anyway, i think if a person tries their very best at making something, whether it be anime, realism, abstract or whatever, i think its great, and you should be praised for you efforts, but still continue practicing. its never too late to learn something new
