@hideki @Loki The people who mostly suffer I think are people who see masters and think "I can't do that" and give up, but a master is someone who has practiced diligently for over 10000 hours, that's like, a solid nonstop two or three years of practice, it's infeasible that a beginner will understand concepts without some form of explanation, without sleep, rest, or breaks, it would be around 1.2 years. Artists have to have the ability to be humble and yet properly self-evaluate.. Without that, their growth pales in comparison to a master, but in a personal sense, growth can happen very quickly, like with hideki here, his scenes have been improving since I first saw them, they looked somewhat professional two years ago, but now they're even better and look really good!
I think artists need to be able to see their own progress or it becomes tiresome
