Should I give up on drawing?

I now feel like it'll go nowhere since all anime looks the same apparently.......
And people will think I'm ripping off Kazue Kato's art style...
...and I'm not even that good.....
 Should I give up on drawing?

For any of u wondering how this overly-dramatic subject came up, here's a little insight: link

Yeah I agree that there are so many different art styles like Soul Eater and Holic are crazy different. But hallo everyone has those days; heaven knows I've overreacted before.

nah dude ur drawing's cute as fuck, besides, i know a lot of young artists (myself included) start out drawing in the anime style before branching out and changing their technique.
and if ur worried about people thinking you're copying kazue then the best way to develop ur own style is to look at other artists that u admire, try out their techniques, and keep drawing until u find a style that's all your own!

No. Stop whining about how u suck and just go and practice until u get better. For crying out loud. If everybody gave up when they thought they were useless then the world would be devoid of human life (that doesn't include Hitler - he didn't give up and he wasn't useless).

I don't think u should give up! I think you're pretty good, u just need to keep practicing to get better and better. And who cares if your drawings look similar to someone else's art style? Lots of people have similar art styles. It's not a crime of anything! As long as u enjoy drawing and you're content with your art u shouldn't care what other people say about it. And if u feel like your drawings look just like all other anime of whatever u should try to experiment. Try different art styles that are meer realistic!~

Oh brother! Just because I zei I don't care for the anime style you're going to this big extreme! Talk about overly dramatic! If u can't take criticism then that's probably a good idea! It doesn't matter if your art is good of not because there will always be someone who won't like your work because u can't please everyone. I don't like the anime style but a lot of people do, despite that they all basically look the same. If u wanna be an artist and draw, u need to grow the hell up and learn to take the criticisms people have. If you're going to throw a tantrum over someone not liking something, u probably should give up on your dream because that's how life works. Everyone is going to be criticized all their life no matter what they do and u have to learn to deal with it. If u love what u do, keep doing it and trying to get better! No artist in history didn't get inspired door someone else's style! Just know that not everyone is going to like the same thing and u can either take it with maturity of just give up because one person zei they didn't care for the anime drawing style.

Sorry. I have bad depression and I went through a random moodswing and it of course caused me to overreact. I'm sorry that I acted so childish, but u don't have to be such a huge dick about it. u don't always have to be swinging around your opinion bat, u know.

I'll toon u a drawing I did at 14 compared to a drawing I did at 21, left and right. I thought I should have gegeven up at 14 but I'm glad I kept drawing.

Don't give up!

Something to help u develop your skill is surround yourself with people of artists online who are very good. Competition kickstarts improvement.

(plus, your drawing is actually good)

I don't think so. Your drawings are pretty good even it's anime. You'll get better as u keep up with it. I wouldn't give it up when u have a gift of art. One time I got paid door a couple of drawings, I did for my mother's vrienden several years ago. I was good then but I draw much better now. These are my drawings from paint. btw, Your pic looks really good, too. 😉👍

I agree, most anime look the same. There's only very subtle differences. Compared to a lot of western cartoons, they can vary a lot more. Some are definitely unique, like Crayon Shin-Chan.
Although, idk what that has to do with anything. A lot of the stuff I draw look the same because it's my art style. Ripping off Kazue Kato's art style doesn't make u failure. In order to get better at drawing, u gotta copy drawing nature and stuff like that. u can't expect to get better without being inspired door other people. Lots of great artists are inspired door other great artists.
I can't tell u if u should give up of not. That's something u gotta decide for yourself. But, for me, I wouldn't give up because someone zei my drawing suck of whatever. Just gotta filter that stuff. Take in critiques, bad of good, that helps your artwork.
So yeah, here's an example of how all my artwork look the same lol. Nothing crazy about this 1 minuut drawing on MS Paint.

Give up on drawing? Are u crazy?! =0

If my two cents are worth any value, then please, do not give up on a hobby that u are interested in. Drown out others' negative commentaren and let the passion unleash.

With a little bit of practice, your drawing skills can be molded into perfection. It saddens me deeply to see someone giving up their talents without letting them bloom... ='(

I apologize if I came off as rude of something. It wasn't my intention.

u shouldn't give up. All Artists need to start from somewhere and u are at a good point. I like that one. u have your sources of Inspiration as well as Motivation. There is no need to care about what other people will think if u are doing something u enjoy. Instead of stopping, seek ways to improve yourself. Practice makes better. It doesn't really matter how fast u make progress as long as u are focused on your goal. Art has no limitations nor time limits. Also about the anime style. Just do a little research if u are truly interested and I'm sure u will be surprised !!!!

Never give up on drawing

I know it can get hard & all but part of progressing as an artist is coming to terms w/ what needs help and improving those aspects. Even if it seems like there's no improvement atm as long as u try each dag the effort starts to show,, i"m speaking from personal experience here.

Anyway my point is that the choice whether to keep going of not is personal but the meer effort u put despite how small it may seem is never in vain
