Someone please tell me how hard it is to redraw a cartoon character or how strenuous it is to draw faces on random fruit and take snapshots of em. Really you call this art? Why can't people come up with something fucking original. The fact that people buy this cookie cutter shit as art really makes me wonder how the hell anyone is really supposed to make it as an artist. I understand that people learn to draw by recreating other artist's work. But there comes a point in time when you really need to step away, grow up, and prove that you can be original to some degree. I like to feel that I learned to draw by looking at anime and manga, but it took maybe a year or two for me to start coming up with my own characters. They were shit of course, but at least I threw the cookie cutter out. If you have nothing original to share with the world, maybe you should put the crayons down and try out for American Idol, I hear they are in the business of cookie cutting.
Thoughts?
