seriously how do you do it-

years of practice and hard work :3 

:/

you don't just get good at things overnight. i've been focused on drawing for over five years (focused meaning drawing at least once every two or three days) and coding for the better part of three years. then you take into account the studying i've done for both of those and i take actual classes for coding. if you want to be better at something you have to work for it. nothing comes for free.

I guess so

look, i dont know what you want me to say. there is no way for you to just get magically better at something. you cant will skills into existence. anyone who has gotten anywhere has had to put in some level of work to get there. sure, some people are born with a slightly higher ability than others but that doesnt mean anything. they still have to practice and study to get anywhere with it. it doesnt matter what it is, drawing, coding, or something entirely different, if you truly want to be good then you have to fight for it. you need to spend hours researching, spend hours practicing the same thing over and over again, tire yourself out so much you dont think you can do it anymore. and then when you look and see where youve gotten, its no further than the day before. so you do it again, and again, and you feel like youre not getting anywhere but when you look back you see that you actually have improved. so you smile; proud of yourself. until you look at someone else and say 'but im not them'. you dont look and see the eight years of practice under their belt, you just compare yourself to them. stop doing that. compare yourself to who you used to be-- no one else.
