"you consume so much art online that your tastes outmatch your own skills and it skews your perception of your own art." is a quote i have engraved in my mind

Basically these I saw a while ago

this make so much sense... everytime Im very engaging at seeing art online and go to draw, I perceive that my brain isn't at the same place as my hand and my skills, and I need to rebobinate

I'm second that..... I was lucky to have good mentors to show where I can improve, and where my art HAS improved! I love looking at art, it's inspiring and entertainin, but I can't fixate on it to the point of feeling bad.... I have to remind myself of that! "make peace with our progress" and all
