>"I'm Welding to be the best Welder. This Japanese Welder that lives in seclusion in Hawaii can make butterfly welds with his dick i can't. It means i'm a shit welder. I have only 97 welding books, and i can't draw everything from them while blindfolded. I'm still an amateur welder and will never make it..."
>It would be retarded. Just like the very idea of being "good at drawing" and envy is retarded. The artists who "make it" are not geniuses, they just don't inject retarded notions in what they do and steadily work like every other craftsman out there.
I really wish I could be like this but I can't bring myself to
I read so many times now advice on this. That you shouldn't be focused on your results because it will disappoint you, that you should enjoy drawing for what it is and let gains come without worry.
But at the end of the day I go back to my tablet monitor and sometimes I can just ignore the awfulness of my art but some bad days I just get so fucking sad and frustrated. I unironically and I mean UNIRONICALLY can't fucking understand how all these artists around me can be so nonchalant about this. They just work hours on end without giving a shit, I can't even lose sense of time while drawing because it's not as fun as vidya or anime or whatever, it's fucking hard and a bitch to solve the equation every time
