Welcome to the first edition of the "Community Wants to Know" series of interviews. The questions were gathered in forum threads and polls where I asked you what would you like to know and who would you like to get to know better.
This will be continued for an indefinite period of time - it will depend solely on you, the community, because this is for you, from you!
Your community, Your Choice, always!

I'm a fanartist, but I draw other things though
And I love critique, I think it's a shame that some people don't accept it and take it as an insult.
I've received the "It's my style" answer more than once, and it's just annoying...

Of course I admit that I tend to draw a lot of the same things over and over. It's hard for me to be entirely creative sometimes, yet I feel that drawing fanart of other peoples' characters helps me try something new. I can't think of any "true artists" like you mean right off the bat, though I can definitely say that since joining deviantART, I have steadily gotten better and closer to the "true artist" status.
That being said, I've learned so much just through exposure to other styles about correct proportions, anatomy, lines, shading, etc. etc. etc. For example, compare this old piece (Jak fanart) to one of my newest pieces. You can obviously see improvement. Heeding the advice beyond "nice colors" and "great job!" has allowed me to gradually get better.
I try all the time to leave appropriate comments, and also thank artists for their critical input. Without critique, one cannot improve.
Great news article, by the way.

on the second note....your right cuz if you keep doing just fan art ppl will start to git the idea that your just a copyin machine and just tracein anything that looks good....which will give ya a bad rap in the long run.....like my mom has always taught me "traceing is not art....
....whew that sure is a lot i wrote there...srry for my gammer lol

As for fan art--I did say it is a good thing for artists who are exploring their styles (blossoming artists) and an occasionally great thing for accomplished artists to showcase their style with someone else's characters. However, It's just not good to call yourself an accomplished artist--when that is all that you're capable of doing. You should be able to make something on your own too.

A few people who i think are great artists are Ravenhaven (beautiful landscapes and scenes), Edducttape (always experimenting with styles and methods of art), Red-Phantom (you can tell he works hard on anatomy and structure), and you! (very original characters and a flare for beautiful shading) plus many people from my watchlist are very talented (Jianre-m, stylin-yellow-pup, Davidstrife, ariannuke, defcon79, hassanah, foxtrot-wolfwhistle...i could name probably twenty, but that'd take forever. but i will (as you know) be describing all their talents in my journals! XD)
