    My own inner dialog telling me I'm not good enough and comparing myself to other artists.

    This. This is it. That's the answer.

    It's so hard to keep in mind that you're not the people you look up to.

    This speaks to me on an emotional level ;-;

    Think personally the hardest thing for me to overcome was starting out doing graphics with just photoshop elements. Lacking layer style and other advanced functions on photoshop really struck me hard when I couldn't improve without them.

    I'm still struggling with this to be honest, but I have this inability to work on a single piece for longer than a day without losing interest in it. It's really hard to finish anything of substance when 6 hours is the maximum length of time I can work on it....

    I also really struggle with colors o)-< It just doesn't come naturally to me like anatomy and other things like that do?? I need to do more studies I guess, but I hate.... coloring.........
