Proof that practicing works.

Description

My first sketch of this; just took my pen and drew it....seriously practicing is amazing because it flippin chickin works.
Here's an extremely long pep talk from me
I've been drawing horses it seems nonstop since I became a part of the HArpg, not just the HArpg but the whole stable thing in general, and I have improved so much since.
I've had so many say that their art sucks to me and really I find it really depressing and to be honest really stupid. If you look at my old stuff it looks like I suck. There isn't a magical thing I did to get "amazing" as people say I am. I drew, I studied, and I didn't stop or say that my art sucked. One thing I can say that is magical; learning the horse's anatomy really seriously does something to your art. It totally improves it almost immediately.
People who say that their art sucks really need to hug themselves. I see people here that draw stick figure like horses and they're happy with themselves. I wish I could sing, I can only relatively sing, but I don't go say that I suck at singing, I say that I'm alright at it. I just have accepted the fact that I'll never have an amazing voice. Now what does that have to do with horse art? Really accepting your talents and your limits to them is the only way you can be content with yourself. I believe anyone can get better but it's just harder for those who naturally do not have the talent. That doesn't mean that somewhere they don't have it. You might not be able to draw like *cerona and maybe I never will either but I won't get anywhere near close by bashing my own art.
I'm saying all this because I've had so many people say "I wish I was as good as you" or "My art sucks but this is amazing." and it's seriously getting on my nerves just due to the fact that these people are just hurting themselves. You cannot get better if you don't first accept who are and where you are and where you can be as an artist and secondly if you don't practice or actually try to improve. Art is hard; it isn't easy. It just comes easily for me because it's a gift given to me by God (I believe that don't get all talking atheist to me because I just don't feel like talking about religious differences, thank you).
Regardless if you can draw a horse and make it look like a photograph or if you can draw a disfigured stick horse you're amazing. And if you don't believe that so what, I'll keep on saying it.
