>... you get that they took time and dedication to get to that point, right?
of course. and I never implied otherwise. I know the type you speak of though and ironically I've had experiences with those types that are more like anchors than art buddies.
I've also never "talked big" and was always completely honest with how long it takes me to do things and how much I needed to improve. And I never begged them for help either.
They meant well but I just choked under the pressure; and I don't think they expected just how steep the dip in quality would be either.
Speed is important to the particular community I was in so it makes sense they'd lose interest too (we still chat sometimes since we share other interests but they've found a group of faster, more skilled people to draw with now).
I'll keep improving 100% but I can only do it at my own pace since that's all the time I really have these days.
