Personally, I feel something in-between pleasure and depression fits well, adding in a cup of envy (being like jealousy, but without the hate), and sprinkled with a dash of inspiration, depending on if it's a comic or not.

God, it sounds like I'm talking about baking a cake of emotions every time I see art XP

Seeing as how I can't draw, I am very happy that most artists are better than me.

But then I get pissed, because I can't draw. It's a vicious cycle.

i love seeing people draw, think of it this way, if the whole world sucks at art, you can't really improve can you?

When the whole world's so good, it just means there still so much more you can do to make your stuff better!

i just want my characters to be pretty ; w ;" (insert perverted otaku rant here)

I am sometimes jealous. But mostly, I look at the composition and the way of coloring. I learn from it, and it motivates me. My thought overall is 'I can do that in 3 years'!
I often look at the bright side. :)

You should have added the option "Douchebag. Nobody is better than me." I've met people like that.

Sounds more like Deluded, unless they actually are very talented. Then yes, Douchebag.
