I believe there is a limit that's different for each of us how good we can get at drawing etc. That at some point you just stop getting better no matter how hard you practice.

I believe I've reached mine now with my age of 32 and I'm fine with it. I've been drawing pretty much since I can remember anything but there have been long stretches, several years when I haven't drawn at all. I've now been drawing more actively than ever for a few years trying different techniques and mediums and I've noticed significant growth but I'm starting to see that my growth has now finally settled at this certain level and I think I've reached my maximum, which unfortunately is pretty average but I've accepted that's how far I am able to personally get, that this is the "maximum level" of what I am personally able to reach. I'm saying not everybody will ever be able to be magnificent with art no matter how much they practice, that there's a point for everyone where they've reached their maximum and that is different for everyone. Do you guys agree with my thoughts?

You who own huge sets of 150 or more, do you ever still need to create new colors by layering?

I don't even draw realism, I draw manga/anime drawings, I have two different sets of 72 (Chromaflow and Prismacolor) and I still need to constantly layer the colors to get correct shades and I hate that so much. Was wondering would this be solved by getting a huge set of 150?

I personally don't enjoy coloring small details with colored pencils because it takes forever. Gel pens look good but they tend to get clogged all. the. time and it makes me furious. Alcohol markers have too large nibs, even the bullet nib is too large. Fineliners are okay but I somehow don't enjoy using them at all. Maybe pics like these are just not for me then? Anyway I'm interested in hearing what do you guys like to use.
