/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

>>4600261
It's hard to stay motivated in art when you know all the things you need grind before starting to draw what you want, the fact that it could take you years to even do something decent is enough to depress someone who is used to the instant gratification of other hobbies like gaming.
Finding /ic/ was the best thing that happend to me because i now have higher standars in art, found a lot of artists i love and know the fundamentals and have a lot of resources on them, but i can understand why other people might get depressed by the same things, it's just not a gratifying hobby unless you draw waifu of the moment art and get thousands of likes on social media.
