Sorry, I'm having some trouble with people not knowing how to read before they become angry... =_=;
</EDIT>


A lot of people on dA seem to want pageviews, favs, watchers, or whatever...it really all seems to do something with wanting to be "popular"

...I don't think people should be drawing just for popularity... yes, maybe if they make a living off making art and have an actual job with it and their actual life depended on it (like food, water, shelter)...but the plain fact is that on dA most people draw as a hobby. So shouldn't hobby drawing be for fun and not to get "adoring fans"?

I mean yeah, it's nice to know people like your art, and yes it does make you feel good...I'm no different...but some people actually seem to be driven to draw only for popularity, whether they are popular already or not...

Actually I've seen some artist (no names >:0 ) say they'll stop drawing cause they "don't have enough fans" ...so it kind of makes me wonder if they only create art to be loved/adored? 0~0; What happened to making art for things like enjoyment or stress relief? Isn't that how true art should be for? ;^;

I think a true artist looks past popularity and continues for enjoyment... I personally don't count those artists that only draw for popularity as actual artists, no matter how "good" their art is...



...but this is just my opinion though... You can disagree or agree, everyone has their own opinions~ so let's all respect everyone's opinions; me and you together~ ^u^
...no fighting/flamming >:0 ...but friendly debate = yay




----------------

anyone can use this stamp~ no need to fav or whatever, it's free for use~ <3

As old as this is I still want to comment on it,

This is well structured, i disagree with a few points but i wont be mentioning them. i do want to mention the part about being a “true artist”.

I have just got to say, There is no such thing as a true artist. just because someone draws for fame does not make them a fake artist or a non-artist, drawing for fame is a motivation, not something that defines you as a person. For example, If I looked you up and down and said “you’re wearing yellow today, so you’re feeling happy,” and walked off, how would that make you feel? It is demoralizing to see you calling people out just because they don’t have the motivations that you want them to have. What’s wrong with wanting fame? It is Not Your Place to tell an artist “You’re not allowed to want to be popular. If you draw to be popular, you’re not an artist.” Yes they are! I’m sorry to say you’re being insensitive, that hurt. Please educate yourself on why this is problematic and hurtful.
