>get complimented by an artist>"wow i wish i were as good as you">they're much better
>>7957822Not "I wish I was as good as you" type of comment but just compliment in general and I always feel like a fraud because how good they are.
>>7957822everyone thinks they're worse than they are, someone else's art will always look better to you because you weren't the one that drew ityou have a large mental library of what your art looks like at its best and worst so you have more to compare to than some rando who's only ever seen your 5 best drawings you posted somewhereif you and that person swapped artistic capabilities for a day, and you obtained their massive mental library of past failed drawing attempts you would probably still feel you're shit at art I think it's just within an artist's dna to always think they're shit even if they're fuckin michelangelowe're all frauds posting highlights and hiding how shit we are
>>7957837This is very true.In the end comparing ourselves will mostly make us miserable, unless we discipline ourselves into looking at others with the intention of learning and not as a competition.
>>7957837You know I’ve thought about this before. Somehow it feels like “other people’s art” always has an intrinsic quality boost compared to mine. There’s probably some sort of psychological bias at work there.But at the same time, it’s important to remember that some people actually are just better than others. And sometimes people are just /beg/, or they’re just complete shit. Sometimes you think your art is bad because it actually is bad. That’s just the way the world works unfortunately.
>>7957837>>7957829Yukinobu Tatsu learned a lot from Fujimoto when it comes to making a long running manga despite the dude being a significantly more skilled and experienced artist than his "mentor".When you don't feel as good as your peers or all the popular based NSFW artists you see online, just keep in mind that at some point the difference in miliage will not matter anymore assuming you're not a perma/beg/ or draw very little by comparison.
>>7958068it's honestly just line confidence or if you wanna get abstract about it, tempo/rhythm. It comes a lot more naturally to some than others. Sinix does a whole video on this and while a lot of it can be written off as pseudointellectualism, if you listen to it, there's a lot of things stated that I think do carry a lot more merit than people want to acknowledge. There's simply a sublayer to a lot of creation.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVY5gla0FNQ
>>7957822You can still find work that's less skillful than your own that's still appealing, like more abstract or minimalist or cartoonish stuff. Maybe you've grinded appeal enough to impress that artist?
>>7957837>>7958068>someone else's art will always look better to you because you weren't the one that drew it>Somehow it feels like “other people’s art” always has an intrinsic quality boost compared to mine.Why is it like this though?
>>7958263it's a wrestle with the constant monkey brained idea of "but I can do better" or at the very least "I wish I could do better than this"you don't have to deal with that when looking at someone elses art because you didn't make it and you get to enjoy the final finished piece with zero effortbut your own art, you saw it through every ugly step of the process and you stared at it for a long time fiddling with it probably so you're also tired of looking at it..there's also something to be said about, like, being fatigued with your own capabilities and creativity that it's easier to enjoy someone elses work because it's fresh and new to you and not like anything you might have thought of making...?I'm bad at explaining, but that's sort of how it is for me, I think. my own ideas SUCK because they're MINE and I wish I could have /someone else's/ creativity, /someone else's/ skillset- but if I did, I would hate that too because it's mine again and now I know the limits of it again and I found some OTHER artist's who's brain I wish I had and then the cycle continues- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAtl;dr I don't know I'm still trying to figure it out myself...
