Orhia - Don't worry about becoming friends with people better than you. Just become friends with artists. Ask for critiques and give critiques. Even where you are, you have an understanding of art and your critiques are still valuable. While I might not be the best painter, I still understand anatomy and composition and can give critiques to those 'better' than me. Go to Google+ chats or other hangouts where artists are. The friendships just happen. In the mean time, hang out with those who are seeking to grow as you are and get better with them. You'll make friends with those 'better' than you and those 'less skilled' than you. Ultimately, don't focus on the skill level of other artists to determine who to be friends with... just be friends with artists and the rest will happen.
