A Ramble on Art Websites and posting

DeviantART never intimidated me, I guess it was due to the fact that I was very young when I joined it, and that I was at the peek of my weaboo fase. No offence, but the art I admired (or at least a portion of it) was worse than the one I produce today, that, I believe, was part of my growth as a person. I'm not technically skilled, I don't know much about photoshop, and what I do know I learnt from playing around and, mostly, messing up.  I guess that is how it is. I think.
I wish I was better, I wish I could draw like the skilled masters I admire. I wish some of them could take me under their wing and that, actually, is one of my personal pet peeves regarding modern art and how we approach it. I liked how many, many years ago you could be taught by a master painter, learn and immerse yourself not just in what they produce, but how they do it. Be taught by the people you so greatly admired, without distance and the problem of "popularity" fucking up the learning process. But yada, maybe that's just me and the negativity that I've been receiving overwhelming me.
Who knows.
All this had a point though, before I started mourning my overall lack of talent.
I recently (as in an hour ago) joined CGHub. It is, as the subtitle says it, a website for professionals...and professional I ain't. Nor am I sure I will ever be.
Truth is, ever since I got into art more seriously, and mostly into concept art, I've had the dream to join the site, now that I have done so I feel inclined to improve. Improve so I can submit my works without feeling like total trash.
Feeling intimidated isn't always bad, nor does it have to be a negative experience. If you feel like your work isn't good enough, work on the thing you feel like you have to improve, then identify your strong points and work on those too!
Work hard and practice is what I'm trying to say...I guess.

I'll lay a bit in my own laziness, cry because I'm shit and then draw some studies.
Life's a bitch, ain't it?

My sketchbook's not gay, just fruity

bought a few copics

I'll probably give them a try sometime later today, seeing that I have a full day of school ahead of me.
Maan, I'm only getting home past dinner time ;-;
Regardless! Will probably post some copic + anatomy studies later on (and maybe digital stuff too)

bye bye ~
