On Valentine's Day February 14 2016,On the day when i was at my aunt and uncle's house before my aunt was hospitalized for weeks,I was sitting in the kitchen on the computer editing on online pixlr editor like i always do til my aunt convinced to stop drawing same japanese character designs that she's not interested in,Probably she and uncle don't know anything about japanese stuff and things that i knew,But she meant for me to draw different hairstyles like curly hairstyles besides same hairstyles like sailor moon odango-like hairstyles,So i took her advice for it and started to make something different that i haven't thought of doing at first,But i explained to her and my uncle that these were not the same characters i always draw i was making fanarts based on their outfits and hairstyles but they don't know much about it.But he convinced me to draw different artwork like the outdoor pictures that he wanted me to draw besides just cartoons and that makes me wonder that when i keep making cartoons i get awfully tired and running out of ideas but i'm not giving up as an artist cause it's my only dream so i have to keep trying my best and make ends meet.So i decided to redraw my character hairstyle and make it into the original pigtails and thinking that it looks better than the odango hairstyle and that part make me wonder if i can make my character look different then i'll should do the rest and make a background with it so that my artwork can come out new and improved like things have to change this year.Hope ya'll read and enjoy!!

Doing your own thing is the way to go.  It can be challenging and discouraging, but in the end, when you do your own thing, and people connect with you and your work, they're actually connecting to YOU.  If all you ever do is try to emulate some other style and draw somebody else's characters, then the people who express appreciation for what you've done are probably more in tune with that style or those characters than your ideas.  I don't think there's any great reward awaiting artists who can make their work so similar to what's already being done in the world of manga and anime that it seems like something you've seen published, but if you can do something that stands apart from the crowd, your art can be your identity.  Yes, fan art is popular... but... is it really worth anything?  I've seen a lot of good fan art, in the sense that it's pretty and well-executed, but give me original any day!
