No one is born with mastery in the arts.

What does this mean? Basically, artists are not born with this magical ability. They are born with a passion to draw, and since they like to draw more they get more practice. They get more practice, they get better.

It took me a while to finally accept this, and it helped greatly when I saw amazing art and got discouraged.

See... I drew this eyes years ago when I first started attempting eyes... It hurts me to see this again! It looks awful!
