Tip of the Day: Don't compare yourself to others

One of the most annoying elements of being a creative is comparing yourself to others. But this could kill your motivation to learn the field you are studying. If you can barely draw a person and you compare yourself to a classmate who can draw the statue of David in an hour you will lose all faith and give in to frustration. What you need to do, is just accept you are not in the place to be shoulders to shoulders to those people. You need to work harder and harder to gain a position in which you no longer compare yourself to others. It's a psychological problem that you will need to address or you will never reach your full potential.

I compared myself to others a lot but when I did that I got so frustrated that I wanted to quit. After looking at sketchbooks I completed in my first year of college I realized that I was improving slowly. Now, I am much better but it takes some time to fully understand this.
