Do people really get motivated from seeing others get better?

A successful, skilled artist showing off a picture from their kid years and one now that they have 20+ years of drawing on their back just looks offensively condescending to me.

And then everyone goes like "omg such development I can do it too". How do you even reach that conclusion? The guy who posted that didn't do it to motivate you, he did it for the ego strokes. At best, to patronizingly admit that he was once as awful as you are now. It means nothing. And then you go and stroke their ego anyways.

Am I the only who sees this? It's one of the most pathetic things about this board and art in general.

You helped me when you talked about anatomy in a stream once, thanks Gabe.
