The Artist In Each Of Us

I admit that I was once a frustrated artist. But I think that frustration only meant to get the title of being an "artist". I didn't take Fine Arts courses due to some fate-manipulated reasons and I let fate got in my way. But art has been my hobby since I was a kid. After college, I realized I wasn't alone in this endeavor. I met a lot of people like me in deviantART. No, we aren't artists by title. We are artists by heart simply because art is what we love to do and we share it to everybody who also loves it. dA has helped me in ways that is not probably mentioned in their marketing goal. They helped me gain self-esteem and I started to believe in myself, and in my abilities to create. And I know there are also deviants out there who silently realize this. ^_^

Keep working as an artist. Art brings the best from all of us. I love art and I find myself with photography. Just believe in yourself and you can make it.

If you love it, go for it. I am an artist. Look at my website: www.mgcreativearts.com I watercolor and I am a rare scissor cutting silhouette artist. Look at my short video on my home page. Tell me what you think?

I am not a member of deviant art. I have heard about it from my friends but I don't have an account there. Nevertheless, I am still an artist. I did study fine arts but it really doesn't matter. I just draw whenever I have time. Drawing relaxes me. Anyway, As long you like to do art then that's fine. I just don't like people who like to claim that they are better than other artists or they are too proud of their work which means they can already overly criticize other people's art works. That's very rude and it's really not right. Everyone should learn to be more appreciative, no matter what. Keep on drawing and believing. If you love it and believe in your skill then nobody can stop you from what you really want. Just go for it. ^^
