If you're satisfied with your art, that just means you're stagnating.

I'm trying to get myself out of the "mope mope sulk sulk" stage. It's hard work!

As an artist I can relate to this in some regards.Went to a portfolio review,once myself,and all the did was pass me back and forth from table to table.

Yeah, I have the feelings of the porfolio viewer, but instead it's my Muse that loves to pop in when I write o draw.

I'm somewhere between panel 6-8 with both writing and drawing. Only I never got 1-5. Hooray for low self confidence in everything I do. It keeps me humble.
Very true, good sir.

eating cheap as hell fried chicken while trying to survive on painting murals that I, myself, think is 'barely good enough to ask money for'. Maybe there's a thorn in my foot, when pulled will reveal pure artistic brilliance!
...
Yeah, I'm not holding out either...

This is exactly why I'll never run my own webcomic series or make my own graphic novel. I'd rather just be a writer.

We never said you shouldn't still TRY.
Remember, a webcomic can have shit art and still be good, but a webcomic can't have shit writing.

But I suck enough to where no one would want to look at it. I'd rather just collab with someone.

Nobody's going to look at your comic for the first three years anyway. 
You may as well go ahead and call it practice.

That just about sums it up perfectly.
At least for me. XD

True but sad. That's why I'm going to a different major other than art. I consider me doing art as a hobby, not a job.
