Hello. More often than not, I find myself looking at my artwork compared to others. And sometimes I think to myself, man, I wish I could draw better and draw like this person. For instance, sometimes I look at like Jim Lee or Joe Matera and Mashashi Kishimoto, who created Naruto, and I think, why can I draw like that? Why can I draw my characters that look just as good?

Yeah, I've definitely come up against this before. Often, I think I like to ask myself two questions. Am I upset that technically I'm not there? That my technique is not as advanced? Because that's good. That just means I have to practice. I just have to learn new techniques or have to practice the one that I'm starting out with or that I'm unhappy with. And the other thing is, do I like this person's style more?

They've been professional for a long time, so it would take a lot for us to get to that point. But the point is self improvement. And I think that's what your point was too. It's like, how can I be better? How can I make my art is better for me and not be that artist? What's the word? I just said it a few minutes ago. Sorry. That I'm inspired by so, yeah, thank you for your response

You, corey, this is such a great question, and I think you've answered it well. You've I think you've got a really healthy perspective on it, and I used to draw, so I get it. I get it. I will say a couple of things. One is, I'm a performing artist in the storytelling community, and as a performer, these are the exact same questions. Why can't I be as engaging as perform or X, Y or Z?
