My previous post. [I Have Passion, But No Motivation]

I had written a lot more in my previous post, but when I posted it the first time, a big chunk of it had been erased. I had also added in there that I paint as well. Before my father passed away, I had started painting (hadn't painted since high school) to ease some of the depression and anxiety. Not too long after, I created my own website for it, which is still private (I pay for it until I have enough stuff built up on there)...but I'm slowly losing motivation for that because I see other beginning artist works that are so much better than mine, because they do those YouTube tutorials. Mine come from my head most of the time, but I have taken some of the YouTube tutorials, especially if I'm doing a tribute painting. It's okay work, but not as good. I'm wondering if I should take down some of the stuff I've got on there and replace it with something better.

You should stop comparing your work with the works of others. You are you, not them.

Every artist has their own unique style. If you want someone to compete with, compete with yourself.
