i think they're deleting accounts o3o' i think because yesterday i had over 32OO paintings liked but then today i got unfollowed but noticed my liked paintings had gone down also o3o'

totally understand you mei-chan that really make people lose motivation to draw alot!
they may think their art either not good or insulted!
but the lost of follower(s) also causes by colors! admit to remove non-active accounts on colours!
and about style thing, people totally got something wrong with their head. if they copy a drawing and change only some features of it, then THAT something that need to be upset and talk about, but if it only style everyone is copying everyone! even if it stick people! where and how do they think art develope? by copying! this also consider in fashion and computer apps and everywhere!! people are make to copy each other and improve by add in their own unique expression and emotions! <-no one can copy that!
(sorry i've been watching alot of t
TED talk)

I wish people would "steal" my style.

I so totally agree !! >:o

''if you steal steal from the best'' any how my followers are pritty stable but im realy slow on my art i feel like its not good enoph however when its posted i let the chips fall as they may i have been lucky not to have a nega-coment yet but im steeling my self for when it does there seem to be fewer meinys then good peeps keep up the good art your pal in colors we can make this a fun place for creative minds together

Copying styles is not that big of an issue in my opinion, I think as you try out different styles that other people use you start to develop your own style. That's how I did it at least.

Tbh I don't really care about how many followers I have, as long as I keep enjoying drawing then i'll be happy. Btw accounts have been deleted because of not being active enough. Eee, sorry for the long paragraph, just my opinions on the matter~

Im your new 100th follower! :D

ikr? there are also alot of other issues! i got reported too many times but there was nothingnwrong with that drawing! if i get reported one more time my accaunt will be banned and then i'm going to cry like really cry a week v.v

Yeah. I've heard of those two issues. ; T

For the Unfollowing Problem, it definately hurts to find out your followers amount goes down. Still, it can go back up again for those who produce new accounts, or others who return when their account(s) are deleted. Plus, the unfollow amount can be very small at times for me [like 2-3 in a sitting], so I don't feel to worried about this situation. ; /

As for the Styles Issue, I have seen people complain about artists stealing their drawing style, ideas and even characters. It makes me wonder if people struggle with coming up with fresh ideas, get inspiration, or steal work from others. It's kind of confusing to me. : I

re: oh... ok..... thanks for telling me ouo
omg i lost 8 or 9 followers in two days.... PEOPLR DON'T GET IT! WE'RE ALWAYS BUSY, NOT THAT MOTIVATED & UGHHH! They unfollow you like nothing..... T^T i don't steel any styles cuz i have my own but dang so many critizism...... people are rude.......

people* i can't spell...... T^T

I can agree with this. I don't hit the "Unfollow" button without reason. Also, Can you picture the realism artists arguing about who is allowed to draw a realistic painting or not? So why is individual style such a big deal? Cartoonists have been recreating one anothers styles for decades now.

tht is very true

hasn't happened to me, but i have seen it happen. Another problem, is tht ppl judge others just bcuz they r lesb!an, gay, pan, or bi like me. it hasn't happened 2 me, so i'm very glad, but i hate when ppl get bullied on here 4 liking same genders.
