Hey, hon, everyone has to have someone to look up to. Even the "best" wish there was something they could do differently. If they don't, then the rest of us tend to think of them as conceited, self-righteous pricks.

A lot of people think my art is amazing. The only reason it doesn't come out looking like dog-crap is because I spend more than two months on each picture, something I just can't afford the time and effort to do anymore.

I like that you have a playful style to your work. Granted, you're no Kari Korthals, but you're not stiff and starchy in your form, either.

However, I can't deny that it's good to take a break every now and then, especially when you're getting burned-out.

As someone who's had to deal with long term depressions I know it's often hard to compare yourself to others, whether it be personal or art related.

The best real advice I can give that doesn't sound too "cheesy" is to just work for your own improvement not really to try and be like somebody else. I often feel my art is "inferrior" to others but I'll keep drawing more for myself and my own amusement that just for the attentions of others. Look at where you want your art to go and work your way towards it.

We all take breaks when we need to, a little break can really help to recharge one's art.

HEY THERE MISTER GRUMPY GILLS <3

Don't be depressed, hun.

You're a great artist in your own right. A lot of people think they can do better, but they're already at they're best. And with each piece finished, they're getting better at what they do. My advice is try to be as unique as you can be. You don't need to copy one's art style to be famous. People like you because you're art is unique in a way. I certainly love it.

So please don't be depressed.. <3

D< JUST KEEP SWIMMIN
