October Painting Contest - Voting

I say don't get discourage. Keep the works of those you admire as a guide and keep painting. Post even if you think its crap. And always keep your first painted models to compare them not only with someone else's work, but with your work after some years. When you see the difference, then that's encouraging enough.

Its too bad that newer painters with maybe less time than the obviously skilled and experienced painters never have a chance to win these painting contests... It is often discouraging to even bother putting the effort in. More painting contests should be random.
