There are websites that aren't like that, but I don't think you should be an artist considering that you are doing it for attention, and I'm guessing you want to draw loli porn.

For fun, you retard. That's like asking why you'd get good at the guitar when Spotify gets thousands of new tracks uploaded every day. Or why you'd exercise when you'll never be Arnold Schwarzenegger. Your main reason for doing it should be because you enjoy doing it.
Don't devalue the vital necessity of self-fulfillment, self-worth, and personal actuation. There is inherent value in just feeling like you are good at something. You don't need to be the best, or to have a skill nobody has. It just needs to feel good to do to make it worth it, and you only need to be better than 95% of the population for it to really feel like a special skill (important: most of everybody sucks at almost everything. 6 months of dedicated practice and you'll be at a level that most people consider impossible for themselves because they have stunted motivation and attention).

I feel bad for people who are trying to market their skills competitively, though. Making a living off of art seems like absolute shit. I'm glad I have a day job an never intend to make a living off of art.

I don't know how to break it to you, you mouth-breathing retard, but there are very clear indicators that I didn't. Girl on the right in the original image obscures the girl on the left's left tit with her right one, which isn't the case in my image.

Also, left girl in original image has a rounder waistline than left May in my image.

Also, something that might interest you is that neither of the girls in the ref are anime girls, so the heads, features and hair aren't traced.

>Inconsistencies due to lack of personal skill

I also notice that neither you nor the namefag have posted work of your own, NOR have you backed up your accusation.

1. I want to draw my OC's best sister. There is no art that looks almost like her and cute.
2. It's fun to feel her forms when drawing, thanks The Manual.
3. I want to draw a cute robot girl because robot factory wants the blueprints and no one robot girl I saw at boorus looks cute enough. (GFL characters don't looks like a robots.)
4. I thought art help me to find new cute friends (but now I know it's not work).
