I know a lot of SCA calligraphers who show their work to each other, and
everybody complains, "Why is your stuff so beautiful when mine sucks?"
EVERYONE says it!

Except for the egotistical, black-turtleneck-and-beret-wearing,
clove-cigarette-smoking, espresso-drinking goateed beatnik wannabe's
(present company excluded ;-), most artists are convinced of their own
inferiority at art.  This has mostly to do with the fact that you are
all to familiar with every last flaw in your own work (after all, you
spent hours working on it), but most people (including other artists)
won't be nearly so cognisant of your failings.  Hence, you are your own
worst critic.
