...Thank you for the perspective. These are good questions. I'll think about them.

No, seriously, thank you! I think you hit the nail in the head with the "why" angle.

I'm asking myself right now why I want to draw and I don't like the answers I'm coming up with.

The "someone newer and better will always show up" perspective is daunting when I think about it. I've been consciously trying to ignore it since forever. I think that's a big part of the problem.

Looks like it's time for some good and hard introspection.

Thank you again. This is exactly what I needed. :)

no problem, anon.

I've been where you say you are. it was hard to pull through, but here's a tip: you're not alone. there's nothing wrong with wanting to be the best - who doesn't? but if you really do want to get to a certain standard, then it's all the more important to acknowledge where you stand and where other people stand.

don't be afraid to ask for help. there are plenty of art communities and forums and tutorials online that are great (I have an artist friend who linked me to http://purplekecleon.deviantart.com/art/How-I-See-Color-A-Tutorial-184642625 the other day, might be relevant to your interests if you haven't seen it yet) and ways to improve.

someone new and better will always show up is something that's usually scary to confront head on. but someone new and better showing up doesn't mean you can't be damn good on your own terms - depending on what your terms are, and that's something else you need to think about. do you want to be good, or do you want to be better than other people?

just keep in mind: you're not alone in your art, or how you feel about things. and whenever you're drawing, ask yourself - why are you doing it, and is it making you happy?

whatever your answers are, those are useful things to think about.
