The amount of talent on this app 😳😩 low key scares me
Like I feel like I can never catch up. So many of these artist are my age or younger and ROCKING IT. I feel like I don't have enough time bc school is holding me back. And I only care about art because it's the only thing that makes me this happy. But I'm afraid that it's getting more stressful because I'm so eager to get better. Haha sorry a small little rant 😅 I just need motivation and to know someone else feels the same

Stooooooppp just look at your art! Everything you create is such a masterpiece and looking at your art makes me and other people so happy 😌💖 And I FEEL YOU I also think that there’s not enough time to draw because of all that homework I don’t only think that it is like this but I‘m sure it‘ll get better soon ✨
My worst habit atm is comparing my art to other people’s even when I don’t realize I’m doing it which makes me lose motivation lol. And school is really busy too so I feel you man. Just remember that numbers don’t matter, ever. Not in age, likes, comments or anything else! Your art is beautiful because it’s yours! Keep up the good work!💜
I FEEL THIS ,, like I go to the explore page and even just on recents everyone is so goodn😩😩🤲💕💕
I feel that all the time! You're not alone! I find myself checking my new posts like 20 times :( Just keep drawing and you will get better!!
While I’m not sure it helps, think of it like this: that feeling that you have? It also is most definitely going through that people that you feel are better than you. Everybody gets that feeling! I have it all the time and sometimes it gets really hard to stay motivated when I see people much younger than me getting jobs and commissions and I’m sitting here wondering what I’m doing wrong. But I also have had people come up to me wondering how I’m doing so well and admitting that they think I’m much better and all that stuff. Unfortunately that feeling is a never end wing cycle and will always be there, but what it can do is be a motivator to work harder! However, always remember to focus on things on life and not just art. It’s all a balance. You aren’t alone 💓👍

BRO THIS IS WHY IM SCARED TO SHARE MY AGEEE
Yes girl I relate 😩 balancing school and art is horrible. Then Art block comes and just slaps you HARD ☹️ but I always just gotta think “it’s all part of the process” 😌😅 “improvement will come”
I definitely feel you. Its so hard to balance art and school for me because drawing helps me focus later on in the day, but it still takes hours of my time. And even though my art is better than it used to before, I still feel inadequate compared to masters like ruan jia and huang guangjian, and even painters who were alive in the 1800s
