Let me rephrase that: which is harder to deal with?

My drawing skills sucks. Trust me stick figures are the best i can do and when I try bigger things they turn out with eyes with 4 corners. I would hate a story writer who believes they suck when they are pretty good rather then a really bad one who does not want to improve because that is their choice not ours but denying your own talent is a bad idea. It gets you no where
The 2nd is less to think so much of since reality and other people tend to break the pompous and arrogant ones. The other though, is just horribly annoying since they are so stuck in the mud about it, and seems like the only praise that could fix it is if they were highlighted on an American Idol-esque show and held as some genius.
Someone who draws amazing, but constantly belittles themselves. I mean really, your work looks 1000x better then mine, why are you putting yourself down. It makes ME feel worse having art that is like 1/1000th of your skill and your like "Oh, this doesn't look good at all" when you whip out a sketch in 10 mins that would take me 2 hours and look terrible.
TLDR; Not saying I won't keep trying as hard as possible, but your "bad art" is incredible by comparison. Or I think that at least if SOMEONE favorites one of your arts on DA, your doing SOMETHING good, right?

Still going to have to go with the talentless hack, I mean at least the person who draws well has that talent to mitigate the whining, so you can like them for that.
I'm still going with cocky. I personally have a lot of self-esteem issues, so I can understand if someone doesn't have faith in themselves genuinely. ((Personally, there's a difference if they actually believe they're not that good or they're just whining trying to get attention/affection.))
Cocky can go either way, and is definitely my least favorite to deal with. There are artists who suck and refuse to take advice.. or artists that draw well, and refuse to take criticism and belittle it when given if they specifically request for it.((If they don't ask for it, then I give them all the right to be angry with it.)) Same goes for people who take art criticism and then belittle anyone who isn't as good of an artist as them.

I know exactly how you feel.
