I always look at the art portal, it's become something of a source of inspiration.

I usually view by rating, and I'm pleased that people I know and that are clearly talented always make it in the top twenty or so pages, and I use these pages as a list f rivals.

Eventually, I'll be in their league, right now I need to learn.

I am too relient on my anime influence and lack classical knowledge.

You might thing "ART ISN'T A COMPETITION, IT'S ALL ABOUT EXPRESSION!" That is true, but if I don't see other artists whom just trumph my abilities, I'll feel more energy to focus on growth.

Complacency breeds apathy right?
