I'm in the horns of a dilemma. I have found myself browsing the galleries here in FA. The art here is good...very good. So good that it is a bit discouraging. To tell you the truth I wonder if I'll ever be anywhere near as good as most the artists here.
Mind you, I realize that practice makes perfect, or at least better and the reason I draw is because it lets me express myself. Stil, I look at the work here and think "Damn! I'll never be that good." Sometimes my ideas outweigh my ability to convey them.
I'm not going to stop drawing, though. To shut myself down because of my own insecurity is not the way to battle it. Hopefully over time I can look back at this and say to myself that my worries were unfounded. Either that or I can torment you with more of my amateurish work. Either way I'll continue.

From a non-artists (me), it sounds like rather sound advice as I do the same thing with my music.
