Let me tell you the worst kept secret ever.

You will never, ever feel like you're improving.

Ever.

Art of all kind, writing, pictoral, sculptural... you will always be your worst critic. You'll always feel like you're stuck, never changing. But look back, not at recent work but things done two or three years ago. That's the best measure. Is what you're doing now better than then? Yes? Then you are improving.

It's like growing or losing weight. You are the last person to notice because you see yourself every day.
