Realizing that like everyone else I’ll want to follow more proficient artists, which solves towards more technical skill and professional status, which could become reasons to beat myself up.
@Leucrotta This came across my dash the other day and I think about this a lot when I'm trying to learn stuff or improve.

@GraySpots this isn't just the technical part but also comparing that I'm NOT a full time professional to people who ARE. So it's not just "I suck, I should pencil/ink/color better" but also "I suck, I should make my own website and market my portfolio and take commissions and all I ever do is fart around on paper" which of course is "...because I have nearly no spoons and this is a rewarding but cheap hobby."
@Leucrotta And even thought the conscious brain gets it... rest of the brain doesn't want to listen.
Might not be much of a consolation, but I like your art. I think it has a lot of action and story, like a still shot from a movie.
