Needless to say I got into high gear of loomis grind and studies to be sure to surpass these two as soon as humanly possible. I never understood anons resenting better artists until now, I felt personally insulted that these shitty human beings might be better at the one thing I want to get good at.

Don’t be so harsh on Holly.

>>3725209
Don't forget to actually make your own stuff and not just do studies 24/7. That's probably how that fujo got to her skill level.

Some anons may feel resentment and jealousy for better artists, sure but after a while it starts to be apparent that they are work and hussle all the way in. It hurts much less after this realisation.

To not burn out I suggest to not try complex and hard stuff at first. Something simple and not complicated while focusing on small ammount of aspects of particular drawing. And additionally try to draw things in application to something - drawhore style shitposting or fanart should make you want to draw beyound natural fatigue.

I'm doing just that and enjoying it, I think studies and loomis are just a tool to complement what I like doing... But often I struggle getting outside of my comfort zone. I have to get better anatomy.

I think that is good advice too.

Thank you anons, cheers.
