hes older than you, and different. You are different people and he'll have problems and issues too - just don't compare.
My older brother goes to Oxford, and if I think about how much better he is than me I tally up the bad points and plunge into a sad mood, but everyso often I think about how much better I am than him at stuff, although its a bit mean of me to do it, it helps me realise its pretty evenly balanced, and I guess he'd say the same.

ahaha. this is me and my brother.
he's pretty intelligent, good-looking, good at sports, talented in everything he tries. he studys mathematics + physic atm. and he's 6 years older than me.
when i grew up, i always had to hear 'ah. uhm. YOU are the sister of ...?', everyone is pretty surprised because no matter in what we compare ourselves, i'm always the loosy little sister. :/
i think i know how this feels.
best luck, st <3

Some of us were born for art.
Others weren't.
I KNOW I will not be any kind of geek or nerd since I am honestly not smart enough.
I get about 30-40% in math's tests...
And I am crap in Science classes too..
But Art class, I top it 
I'm scared too.

Crap, sorry... make that third year of high school.
The year where, here, makes up half of your first school certificate.
Crud.

Well.. you did say older. So why not wait until you're his age and see what happens? Don't get yourself down ):

ST, I can relate so well. I'm honestly so proud of my older brother for all his acheivements, but at the same time I feel like I'm nothing in comparison. And just nothing in general. I'm not good at anything, and he's good at everything. The one talent I have has taken me half my life to get to the poor standard I'm at now, his phenomenal talent took him three years to get the highest qualification you can for it, and he constantly and rapidly improves. I am so proud of him, so are my parents, but I envy the fact that he has something for people to be proud of him for.

This is practically me and my sister and my brother.
She is AMAZING at art and im...lets say an abstract artist
He is mind blowing at music and i cant read a single tab nor count beats nor stum a single chord or hit the right key.
the only thing i have better on them is literature ^^
ST try and find something you enjoy and you are good at i truely believe everyone has something someone else envies everyone has a talent. (: its just a pain in the ass trying to find it but when you do its totaly worth the wait

He's older than you, he's had more time to get good at what he does. Keep practicing the art! You have tons of time to make yourself into something. Believe me, you will change so much in the next few years. The Junior High me could never imagine the 17-year-old me. Don't worry. You'll be ok.

Keep an open mind. It may not even be art that you'll blossom in. Just do what you love and you'll do fine.

Oh Lord. This has/is happening to me. Just try to keep in mind that you don't have to be him and he is still your brother. I'm sure he still loves you but you should be your own person.

Since they are your BIG brother..they are older, you will be amazed at how much you learn in just the next year.
And if you keep at that drawing and taking pictures you will learn and you will get better. But you have to work for it it doesnt just magically appear because you want it to. I had to learn that and im still learning it. just hang in there

I used to feel that way too, my brother was the straight A student, He did cross country, track and field. He was in a million clubs. And above all things he had a closer relationship with my father (my brother and I have different fathers). I resented him for all of that. And then I realized that there are some things he can't do, but I can. Then I realized that I can achieve a lot of the things he has if I try my hardest.
Don't let make you feel sad, let it drive you to do better, because you are wonderful, and you're great.

I used to feel like that with my cousin. He's doing his HSC (equivalent of A-levels, or le bac.) now, and I'm in the ninth grade.
He learned to read when he was four, I learned when I was seven. He's great at maths. I suck at maths. He skipped two grades, I never skipped a grade...
He's struggling with all his advanced subjects. I'm not struggling with mine yet. I'm in theatre productions often, and still keep up with school. I draw, and write, and have smart conversations with my friends. He's younger than everyone in his grade and doesn't have many friends.
I embarass him with my existance.
I cry all the time because I wish I could help him.

I can relate... My 12-year old brother is a computer genius. He's taught himself programming and won competitons. He's by far the smartest kid I've ever know which, yes, occasionally makes me feel a litle dumb. However, I'm aware that we're very different and that I'm more of an artistic personality, so I can kick his ass when it comes to literature and other stuff. Plus, I'm really proud of him
The thing is you shouldn't feel like you have to meet some standards that are imposed on you, just focus on your own strenghts and interests. I'm sure you'll make a great artist.

Hey, a lot can happen to someone in a few short years. Sometimes it just takes a bit longer to finally bloom and make your talents flourish. Don't compare yourself to your brother, as hard as that may be. You're you and he's him, and you're a completely different person from who he is with different talents and styles. You'll have your talents and he'll have his.
And, for the record, I think your style of drawing people is quite cute. It's like a remix of the everyday stick figure.

It's difficult being on the other side too, everyone one expacts you to do perfectly all the time and if you do you don't really get comgratulated because it was expected, they would have been dissapointed with amything less.

I always think my sister is better than me until the day my grandma said that she, once, told her that she thinks I'm much intelligent than her! I actually cried, because I thought my sister thought I was dumber 
probably you think that about your brother, and maybe he's thinking something good or he is jealous about something you own/are better at. who knows.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Just because he's a brain, don't consider yourself less.
And I'm sure you take good photos and draw good pictures.

Think of it more as a challenge than a put-down. Keep doing what you do, and in your fields you can be as good or better

My sister and I have very different tastes and skills. Don't expect yourself to be just like your brother! Be yourself, there's something there you just haven't found yet. You'll find what you're good at, maybe you already have!

You shouldn't compare yourself to anyone.
Everyone's different, everyone has different skills.
For all you know, he might be jealous of you!

ST I like your drawing. Seriously it looks nice and simple.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
he's all those things, but i would think, from experience, he is also jealous of you.

I'll go ahead and echo what everyone else has said so far. There's really never any need for any one person to compare themselves like this to anyone else. Every person is different, and every person has their own talent! You're still growing and looking for your talents. n.n And maybe your picture taking and drawing can be developed! If you enjoy it, just practice it every day. *Nods*

Don't compare yourself to your brother. You'll both be good at different things. I'm not particularly good at drawing or photography, but I do it because I enjoy it. If you keep going, you'll get better.

It will never help to compare yourself to your siblings. You just have to do your own thing!

Brothers or sisters can be your worst nightmare if they seem so talented... But you shouldn't compare yourself with them, nor should your parents. We're still all individuals, with different strengths and weaknesses.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Don't compare yourself to him, even if he's related, you are both two different people and are talented in different ways even if you haven't realised what yours are yet.

If it makes you feel any better, you're a lot better at drawing then i am ^^

Aw, don't feel so down. Just because he's better at those things doesn't mean he'll ever be happier. And just keep at your art and you'll get better.
