I Draw for Myself

Description

It sucks. It's a doodle. I don't exactly like how it turned out.
But I think it needed to be done.
If I really were to follow my own advice, in fact, I wouldn't even have inked this 'cause I hate drawing big letters. But I think others may need to learn that this is the true purpose of art.

You shouldn't draw for others; art is free, draw what you feel like drawing. Someone telling you they WANT something drawn is someone who disrespects your talent. YOU choose what you want to draw, and if you decide you want to draw something for someone once in a while, it is your right, and they should consider it a privilege. The people you decide you want to draw for should be worth your time and effort, and should appreciate the soul you put into it. Don't draw for people who don't show gratitude towards you for it. You don't owe anything to anyone, and you shouldn't be expecting them to return your favour if you do the first move.

More of Murken, I think he'll stay a monochromatic entity since I don't like how the colour tests turned out on him so far.

Feel free to use as a stamp or for colour practice, but you must credit me if you colour it, and I would like to have a link to your coloured version once you submit it.

Inspired by a rant I had at my art padawan, ~TalentlessFox. I hope he learned from it. And I hope if he has something to say about this he tells me in a chatroom instead of in the comments.
