He's so old now, bros, is he gonna die soon?

I started getting serious about drawing this January like I always wanted and it has been quite the rough year, I can't draw without a reference at all and no matter how hard I try, it feels like I'm not getting closer to getting my art to look like Doppel's or Parkgee's, they have been drawing for at least a decade and I absolutely adore their art, however I can't get my shit to look like anything like they do and it's driving me nuts, I've been dedicating this entire month into studying their style, how they draw bodies/faces and while it has been difficult I thought I finally made it yesterday, I was wrong, I can't get their artstyle right just yet, it feels like I am trying to build a skyscrapper with a few bricks and a hammer, I don't think I can match Doppel's shading without at least a year of study but I do want to at least captivate their style of muscles, faces, etc...which so far has wielded mixed results, I can only hope that all this work that I'm putting on right now will pay off in a year.

How do I come to terms with the fact that my lines will never be this good as a digital artist?
Also do you have twitter?
