Drawing messes with your head

Sometimes I think its better to live in a vacuum somewhat when it comes to art. It can really mess with your head after you've worked on pages for 9-10 hours to look online and see artists that are, simply put, better than you are. You kind of feel like you've worked for nothing. Which, if you've expressed yourself, regardless of your level of ability, simply isn't true. Doesn't change how you feel though.
