30. I completely understand you. I used to dedicate my life to drawing. It was all I did, every day, from the time I was 5 until the time I was 17. Then I started poking around Deviantart, oekaki boars, etc. and found out that my art was TOTAL SHIT and that people 3-4 years younger could already do 10x better than me. It crushed me. I've never fully gotten over it.

It's not that they don't deserve talent, it's just that...why don't I?

Hey... I used to feel the same way. Growing up, I was surrounded by people younger than me who were already amazing artists. Know what I did? I got better. I practiced and got better. Now, I'm 22 and I (finally) transferred to an art school. My classmates in my first Freehand Drawing class were all freshmen. FRESHMEN. Around 17-18. They were AMAZING. Some of them were even WAY better than me. Lightyears better. I decided then and there that if I was going to be jealous of people better and younger than me then fuck it, I didn't deserve to be here.

Get over yourself.
Stop whining about how much people are better than you. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, DAMN IT.

Practice.
Improve.
If you sit on your ass wangsting about this, you're never gonna get anywhere. I understand. It took me years to get over the initial jealously. I needed to find the right person to make me feel better about myself. She told me I was good enough and that all I needed to do was practice. SO PRACTICE.

17. Hah. That was the same age I went through the initial phase, too. Don't worry. You'll get over it. For now, I hope you find the person who will point you in the right direction.

[arashi-tenkai.livejournal.com]

Actually, no. Now that I think about it... I wasn't 17. I was 13 when I first realized that.

I practice a lot, but never seem to get any better. I just can't seem to figure out what the talented dudes are doing right when they practice, that I'm doing wrong >>;

[arashi-tenkai.livejournal.com]

I suggest you try looking at tutorials. Learn. Study. See what your favourite artists are doing and try to adapt it. It'll pay off. Improvement doesn't come overnight.
