Many many times I get jelous by others people art and skill...
how they produce high quality art with amazing concept, ideas and composition.
the jealousy I get sometimes make me frustrate.
but i cant do anything about it right? I know everybody have their own road and time to find their own art.
and compare my art with others wont lead me anywhere beside being depressed.

the only thing I can do is drawing and keep drawing.
then I realize, even its just a little step, I know that my art improve.
years ago I probably cant draw anything close to this pic.

so next time I feel jelous again, I just bite my tongue shut up and keep on drawing!

Aww, RC.... Why do you get so jealous? You are truly an amazing artist in your own right! Do you know how many people got intimidated back when you participated in one of my contests? A few of them didn't even want to compete because they didn't believe they could hold a candle to you. Yes, YOU. Stop being so hard on yourself, dear. You're such a hard worker, always striving to and succeeding in improving. Like a fine wine, you get better with every passing year. Don't let yourself get stuck in that rut of comparing yourself to others. Like you said, bite your tongue and keep drawing!

probably its because I don't have any low self esteem towards my Physically appearance or My wealth like normal people do, I really don't have anything to worry, life is good.
the only thing that bother me so much and give me massive frustration are the things that related to art, I could cry and depressed over the fact that Im not good enough.

do you watch Jiro dream of sushi, Yuya san? its a bout the best sushi maker in the world, that man are amazing, I wish I could have the same perspective in art like him with sushi, always do 100% in thing you like, and be good in something you like is not enough, try master it..

somthing that I haven't achieve.. I hope I can turn into a good wine to someday

That is pretty damn awesome, hon. It really is. If we were all so fortunate, the world would be a better place. I don't have many qualms about my physical appearance but I'm a pretentious little shit when it comes to wealth. On the lowest run of the upper class, which makes me want to climb higher. So I do silly things like buy Coach purses or Gucci watches to make myself feel better. Many days, I wish I could shake that desire completely. Aww, don't cry RC! You are already so amazingly gifted when it comes to art.

What you need to do is stop comparing yourself to other artists. Everyone has their own unique style and rate at which they improve. You are above and beyond so many of them, in this, and unlike many, your work is not stale. You continue to improve and evolve, and have the ability to produce paintings with amazing speed and proficiency while avoiding some of the hurdles that even the best artists trip on. (Like "sameface" syndrome)

I haven't heard of it, no. It sounds like a good mindset, though! Just don't let your worries and fears take over. Because then it won't be something you love to do; it'll become a chore. Or just a depressant.

haha You already are, my friend. ^_^

:wow: Oh my, this is very cool! As a friend said to me, anger and hatred only brings more anger and hatred, or jealousy in this case...well...as you said, we can make these feelings make us improve :) Super drawing and a super caption as well :D

Do tell, it's so frustrating to see art that is much better than mine, but as you said, there is nothing to do but keep on trying. Lovely pic, very...everything! It's so charming and all the details, just WOW!
