The artist world can be seen as something different in many different opinions. To me you have to be able to be original and be able to do something that will wow your audience. You wont be able to get anyone to be able to buy or support your stuff if you are not giving original well thought out posts. Some examples could be seen as starting artists that just cling on to something and work with it with out branching out.
An example would be like this character. The art it's self is pretty decent but it's very round and all over the place. It kind of feels like the artist just threw a bunch of things on to a canvas that they like. But this isn't even that bad...I have seen drawings where people have done little to no effort into making the character look good.
Now that being said, this character would be able to look a lot better if the artist took the time and studied things. Such as color theory, shading, lighting, ect.
Another thing that a lot of starting artist's do and should avoid doing is tracing. You NEVER want to trace someone else's art and then post it as your own. Styles may seem cool and you want to mimic someone's style but the best way to be able to do that is to practice and develop your own style off the styles you like.
With all this being said my opinion on the artist world has been changed slightly over the year's. Though there is a lot that I have learned and would want to give to others about starting out.
A good way to start is to start looking into free or even Pay to use bases. Of course you will have to follow the rules of each artist and give credit if you plan to post your finished product or share it to friends and family. This will allow you to be able to find a style you may like and work off of that.
Personally I am not a starting artist, though I even use bases still to get the feel of different things and make something cute and fun.
With all this being said you want to be original and be able to give people something different. You do not want to give someone the same thing over and over, you also do not want to do something that is already done or even trace and get into trouble.
Always do your research on things, practice all the time and become someone different that stands out amongst thousands of other people that will be drawing in the same fandoms as you and constantly competing for customers, being on top and being the person to stand out.
The art world is mean and insane at times. If you really want to be able to do these kinds of things you have to fight against the others.
