artisticanime replied to your post “i need to stop feeling jealous of artists that are like 20+ or that do...”
I feel this on so many levels like I always have to remind myself I'm probably at the same level when they were my age and it's so annoying to think that way ~_~
i know!!!! i wish competition wasn’t so ingrained in people from a young age bc its!!! kinda sorta damaging!!! like ofc this is a very mild example which im easily able to overcome but having this thought at the back of my head that im gonna have this end goal which is basically “the best artist to exist ever and is good at ALL facets of art including perspective and realism and stylization and still life and world building and portraiture and etc etc” its like. very tiring and exhausting and it kind of makes me very unfocused while also very unwilling to explore things with my art bc if im not immediately good at it then whats the point?? and yeah ugh its like....u need to ground yourself sometimes bc getting told you’re good at drawing while having this huge internal battle about being super jealous about every other good artist is weird and terrible. im writing so much im sorry
