Serious advice here.

Why don't you try drawing instead of complaining about your problems on /ic/, literally every single artist that's ever lived has been at your level at one point in time. Despite that they never gave up, your problem isn't that you lack talent or your ego, it's that you don't believe in yourself enough. Read some art books from the artbook threads, watch some courses, use youtube videos, do masterstudies of artists you look up to, you have no excuses. We live in an age of knowledge and information, where you can literally get just about anything you want for free most of the time.

In short, just draw. That's all there is to it. And within time you will make progress, it just takes time.

What impossible dream are you talking? When he started he was on the level of most of people on Drawthread. Dave just kept at it.

How did Dave Rapoza get good? His old works he posted on conceptart.com weren't good at all, yet he made a solid progress during these 6 years and everyone will agree that he's a really good artist. Hell, even /ic/ won't dare to shit on him because he does all of his works with no references or photobashing.
>inb4 he studied
Ye, but how? I watched several interviews with him, and he said he was practicing 12 hours a day but that's not saying much, it's like the scene from opm when saitama says his training consists of 100 push ups squats and sit ups. Ive seen many artists on this site that were dedicated like him but after ten years maybe one or two didn't stop progressing after the second year, and it's my personal fear, even though I still haven't proceed in studying, I don't want to waste years like these guys did
