Strange... I don't really do animation (no patience for it), but I actually do go out of my way to eyeball better artwork than what I can make.
It doesn't really disappoint me, because I
admire the beauty, and
look for signs of techniques that I can put to use myself.
It's like Pablo Picasso (probably) said: "Good artists borrow, but great artists steal". Mind you, he didn't mean simply aping the techniques or the 'look', but actually learning and internalizing them - then improving on them.
