that you could have more watchers, have greater art, have commissions, and be cooler than me? Cooler than other artists that are your idols, your inspiration. 

You can! heck most of you got the potential to be! Just have to deal with time and work. 

In the meantime, I decided to compile up my advice here into an easy access journal for all you guys. Some artists have commented on these as well sharing their experiences and though process. If you are ever bored or do want that information go ahead and give these a read!
