/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

As an oldfag I can promise you that as soon as you reach this level you will be looking at other art, frustrated over how you will never reach that level. It is far better to stop worrying about this. Just switch to only comparing your current art to your old art, for most artists this is the outlook that brings out the best in them. Also, when you find awesome art, study it, take notes, analyze what makes it awesome and do studies that uses the techniques you've deducted. It makes you able to be much more objective in your evaluation of things.
