What's your question?
My friend is REALLY good at drawing! Like, REALLY good, and I like art as much as she does but whenever I look at her drawings, I feel like I’m really bad. I just wish I could be as talented as her. I don’t do anything interesting, I don’t play piano, I don’t do sports, art is all I have but it’s getting harder to keep going, especially if I just wanna support my friend. I don’t know what to do.

Mr. Bobcat:
Dear 😒,
I understand exactly where you're coming from! I'm an artist myself and often compare myself to other artists. What I recommend is putting a positive spin onto the comparisons. Look at their art and notice what you like about it. Get specific! If you like their line art, for example, what do you like about it? Do you like that it's "scratchy" or "bold"? Do you like the "flowiness" or "sharpness" of their lines? Then apply it to you own art! Make it an opportunity to learn! You can even ask your friend to teach you if you want. Remember that there is no such thing as perfect. Your art is amazing because it's yours. No one else can make art like yours because you make it! I would love to see your art if you upload it to the "Student Artwork" section here at Madison Rundown! Keep creating, and best of luck!
