It's all a matter of perspective. When you see someone draw something awesome in the time it takes for you to pick up your pen you only see the, say, half hour it took them to draw that particular picture. A more accurate mental image is to imagine the hundreds or even thousands of hours they put into practice in order to be able to draw said picture. Nobody was born with mad skillz and all but a handful in the world are geniuses. The rest are just working their asses off practicing. When that sinks in, you stop comparing and you start learning from the more skilled artists.
