@Leucrotta as a writer, reading a really great book fills me with conflicting feelings. on the one hand, it's inspiring to write my own stories; on the other hand, it's depressing to think that I'll probably never reach the clarity and brilliance of what I've just finished reading.

so basically yeah, same

@green Less that and more difference in subset. It's like if you wrote short science fiction, but you were constantly reading mysteries and being blown away by them.

What I've been learning about draftsmanship, cartooning and composition is all useful - but I sometimes feel it's not as inherently cool looking as painting (yeah I know that's silly, cause what's a good way to *set up* a painting?) and, even more of a hot button for me, will never be as desired or acknowledged.

@Leucrotta *nodnod* yeah, I can definitely understand that. :/
