Well after months of building up the courage I finally joined DeviantArt. I've been there a day now.
People told me it's a friendly community, good for a beginner artist like me to improve her skills. It seems believing what they told me was a mistake. I lurked for several hours and only saw two things; blind praise (which doesn't help anybody improve) and criticism. Not constructive criticism, insulting criticism.
After the ninth or tenth beginner I saw being told to give up on art and find a new passion by the ones everybody called "real artists" I've decided that what I've been told about DA was apparently just lies. It's not a nice community for beginners at all. I don't think I'll be staying.

Well I'm sorry that happened to you
You know that you're an amazing artist though, and thankfully they never said that to you.
Plus, we all think you're art is great! Keep it up!

I've already deleted a few, but you really don't need to be reviving old topics and posting unnecessary posts that are hardly on topic. Please read the rules to ensure you aren't breaking any more rules.ceshiwuhao wrote:People on the internet can be idiots.
