I stopped looking at other artists work to compare it with mine.
Not because I don't like it.
But because comparison kills creativity.
"Theirs is better."
"Mine isn't original enough."
"I should paint like them."
All lies.
Your work doesn't need to be better.
It needs to be yours.
And "yours" isn't measured against "theirs."
Amen

Art is expression not a competition ❤️
ye had to learn this lesson a while ago after actually noticing the quality/creativity drop in my work when i looked back at my old drawings
Looking back at old stuff can be humbling but also motivating — shows how much mindset affects creativity.
Love this! I totally know that feeling 🙂
I love looking at others’ work.
I seldom, if ever compare.
Sometimes I admire some specific thing they did well - or some answer to a problem they used.
Occasionally there’s a reaction to others’ work mostly it’s a note to avoid . In a couple of cases it’s really influenced my work by forcing myself to come up with a different solution than theirs even though I think they had an innovative approach or technique.
