But mommy, I want the stars too.

So I was working on color comehting on the computer last night (you've been looking at my Deviantart, right?)
And I said 'You know I've gotten a lot better at this. But I'm not very good at it.'

and I looked at the same picture which I'm coloring with my markers (mainly copics) and thought to myself 'You know I've gotten a lot better at this. But I'm not very good at it.'

I'm not comparing myself to professional artists, or even the artists that I admire idolise. I'm comparing myself to artists that I like who I'm not intimidated by- people who I'm at about the same level of. What am I missing that I'm just not getting good at it.
All I want to do is graduate from 'pretty good' to 'good' I'm 'pretty good' at so many things though; I don't know if I'd be content being good at one or two things.

I mean I look at other people who can write a compelling story, and draw a good picture, and sing, and sew a good costume, and look good wearing it to boot. So thinking I could be good at more than one thing isn't unreasonable I guess.

But hey! I'm getting better, and I noticed. That's totally a step in the right direction.

self indulgent whining, art
