Heyheya! Aww, gosh, thank you so much! Really flattered by that! And more so at the thought of me being an inspiration to you. <:)

Though I do apologize, as discouragement is not my intention. <:X I’d say try not to feel any sort of discouragement/any other negative feeling, though!

Really, as I’d say to other folks, you just have to keep drawing. That’s the practice of art in itself! And as long as your consistent in it, you can improve in good time! And this may be considered a personal thing, but if I happen to see art from those I admire/others that really do have better art skill than me, I get inspired. It practically influences me to want to pick up a pencil and draw more, with hope that maybe I can get to their level one day, but in my particular style.

And style is something that tends to form itself along the way as you draw. With improvements shall come the build up of it, I guarantee you. :)

Do try not to get stuck! Use that inspiration you may get from seeing other artists work and use it to your advantage! It can be easy to feel discouraged, perhaps even feel intimidated, but you’ve gotta have that confidence! <3
