Drawing just isn't for me. I've studied anatomy and used methods like looking at the reference and then drawing without it. I've drawn boxes and perspective and yet I still can't grasp it. Really sucks. I might have a mental deficiency. I wouldn't even be surprised.
>You're giving me no information here, again have you been drawing manga your entire career hoping to get it serialized?
No, and that's kind of irrelevant. She has definitely worked harder than me. Regardless of that, it doesn't really change the way I feel about her being better than me. I can be as rational as I want about it but the feeling is still the same.
I'm just legitimately bad and I've been trying to figure out why. I can't even get to a level of making a comic because my skills just aren't improving at all.

No matter how many times I'll tell you that I've been studying the fundamentals or anatomy, you'll just talk about how I was studying wrong, and while that may be true, the feeling of lost time and seeing this little girl get wayy better than me in a shorter period than I've been drawing in my entire life is soul crushing.
I admit to the possibility of studying wrong, but still, that's 20 years of time I could've been learning properly down the drain. If you can't understand how I feel regardless of whether it's my fault I'm bad (it is) then I probably won't get through to you.
I have 86 IQ, which probably explains it. It still feels terrible though.
