Encourage An Artist

It's Oct. 19th! You know what that means? Of course you don't, I haven't told you yet!
It means it's time to go randomly encourage an artist (cuz Oct. 19 is such a special day)!
I'm kidding, but have you ever added someone to your watch list for a good 3 years or so, then took a look at the very first piece you liked from them and compared it to their art today? All the artists we've liked have improved in the past few years they've been on dA, more so in the past few years or so that they've been drawing!
And you know what? All artists work their butt off to make their next piece their best-- be it professionals or amateurs! Sometimes we artists stumble along the way and find it hard to get back up.
So it's time to go out there and encourage an artist-- any artist-- and tell them how far they've come!

hahahaaaa, that sounds really corny =w=
I'm serious, though. The more famous ones receive a lot of encouragement, but also get just as much pressure. The less experienced, aspiring artists don't get enough attention and are often forgotten or shunned.

By the way, to really see the improvement in an artist, try watching someone you think will improve greatly in the next few years! It doesn't have to be someone who draws well in your eyes, you could find the art really amateur for all you know, but in the next few years, pay attention to whatever art that person uploads.
It's a long wait and that improvement will be gradual, but one day you'll see this extraordinary piece of art in your watch messages and you'll realize it was that artist you watched a few years back. The growth *^*
Of course, that doesn't mean it'll always happen. There are times when the artist ditches dA and never comes back. Other times the artist doesn't improve all that quickly in the span of a few years. Still, it's worth a shot =w=
