Funny, I drew something the other day that denotes my feels while seeing all the artists here that far surpass my laughable skill.

When I see someone I like, I study their art, HARD (after crying to myself). Scrutinize the shit out of it. Every single brushstroke. This has led me to be inconsistent in my art because I'm always trying to emulate artists I'm jealous of, in a horrid amalgamation of different styles.

I say - take what you like and make it yours. After sobbing profusely in a corner and telling yourself you'll give up art forever (for at least 15 minutes), of course. Watch livestreams of that artist's process. Ask them questions. Because I absolutely refuse to allow them to keep their secret of good art to themselves.
