writing this at work while listening to Kyary so there may be some typos and shit
but the thing is (and I hope you got this after all those posts):
1: we aren't art masters at all. we're like you in hierarchy, and even if we did draw like gods (something that doesn't exist per se), we wouldn't see new members as 'worse' than us, or anyone else. That's dumb.
2: art is not math. In the sense that 2+2 will always be 4, and 10 centimeters will be 10 centimeters anywhere you go in this world. Art is something more variable, you can't, mustn't and will never find the perfect style. It simply doesn't exist. What you can do though is to build up on the number of styles you can do, in order to become more versatile. Every piece asks for a certain style, and therefore you must be at constant learning.
3: if you want to be praised, go to deviantart (I think I say this way too much already). Praise is good and all but expecting them in every little thing you do is being a pain on the nuts. As I said before, we are here to become better at art and we don't become good by dishing out "you're great" and "amazing!!" all the time. Life is harsh when coming to this stuff, and so is this thread. Art is not a magic epiphanistic thing that you suddenly 'get better' at; you need to practice and study a lot to be good at it.
4: Everyone here starts with 0 reputation. What does this mean? Well, it means that you are not inherently bad or good when you start out. You are a neutral being and you build up your recognition, little by little. And this does not happen by trying to outdo yourself in an unrealistic manner just to surprise us. Just be yourself, mind yourself, don't cry askng for c+c ; it happens eventually. tSR is also a place to hang out with people, feel free to make friends.
5: Take notes of everything I (we) wrote in this thread, reread them and replace tSR, art, members as necessary: those tips are common sense and should help you in everything you try, do and work.
