>>3669846There's a girl I hate who put this as her Cover picture and I stood there thinking
>You dumb rat your drawings are basic girly tumblr shit, that's not artBut then my inner crab stopped and I realized. She has a page with 1000 followers, constantly uploads drawings, actually sells comissions, buys art tools that I don't even know what they're for (I just use a writing pen and scan my white sheet to color it on photoshop), watches videos about art techniques and follows dozens of artsy instagram/tumblr/fb pages. Sh is is always inside the drawing world doing art despite it not being to my liking.
So yeah, she can call herself an artist despite only being good at rendering, she's been at this for 5 years and only a few months ago decided to study anatomy she just eye-balled it before.
Meanwhile I'm trying to be one of the great manga masters like Miura and Murata, perfecting my anatomy and shading, doing a little anime fanart every here and then... and I can only barely consider myself an artist. It's more of a hobby. One I invest a lot of time into, but there's clearly a difference in PASSION in our hearts. If I can't draw I'll just shitpost or play videogames without batting an eye. I don't know. WHY IS THIS QUESTION FUCKING ME UP SO MUCH.
Well, a few days ago I actually felt like calling myself an artist when I drew a nice human without looking at a reference. Guts from Berserk, specifically. I really liked the face and detailed arm I did and I thought to myself what a wonderful world I'm an artist fuck you guys I know my craft and it's top tier sometimes
