/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I just can't see how I can compete/compare with people studying in art schools and ateliers. I spend so much of my time drawing but it really only amounts to ~5 hours on weekdays and 10 on weekends.
On the other hand, they attend art lectures and demos every day, surround themselves with other students, have assignments to work on and constantly get feedback from someone more learned than them. If they want they can invest 100% of their mind on art.

How can I compete with that? I want to make comics with great art to tell the stories I want but fuck.

Being a religious person is the worst thing you could curse someone with
I'd say I would've killed myself ages ago if I wasn't, but I really am just too much of a pussy

God doesn't really love us, have you heard what the afterlife is like? That's not something made by someone "forgiving" or "loving".
We're all a reource to it, a we live life and output faith. We're convinced we're it's slaves/worshippers and provide faith for it, and in turn we're not allowed to kill ourselves because that would be the loss of a resource to it.

It had the angels worshipping it every moment, but it's pride wanted something more unnatural. It made a creature with freewill and selfishness, placed it in a challenging environment with nothing but tangential proof of it's existence, and then convinced itself that if this creature chooses worship it must be the greatest creator ever, and those who don't are damned and "fools".

Heaven and hell, I've met so many people in my life that deserve neither, but by the scales of judgement would be sorted in. There's also a lot of us, that by god's standards, have lived as good people but will be sent to hell regardless because they didn't fulfill what it calls their purpose, feeding it's ego.

I'm just so tired of it.

That's not quite how engineering works, it was kinda in the past where they where also draftsmen but that's not really how it is.
It's more nitty-gritty than than that; like analysing how fluids/heated fluids flow in different shaped pipes and mathematical models for real system analysis.
For something that doesn't need to be applied in the real world, you'd genuinely do better visually studying the subject (and different forms of it) than studying how the spring-damper system eliminates oscillations or some shit.

The course I'm looking at sounds interesting though, it's 50/50 with architecture and design in a really, really good school.
I'll speak to my advisor, I'm almost set on transfering.
