Only if you're attractive and don't completely suck balls at drawing

(You) are misguided. Let me fix that.

It’s not a tragedy if you die and no one cries. It’s not even a tragedy if you die. Look at it as sweet release from the plague that is humanity. Even if people do cry, their apparent sympathy is false and only done out of following social norms.

Understand that no one actually loves or even likes each other. Why would you even want their approval? Look out for yourself and do whatever it takes to acquire what you want, as that will literately give you a stronger sense of fulfillment than wasting away trying to gain the approval of those around you, who are very probably even bigger losers than (You). There’s no shame in lying or manipulating others, which is something that took me far to long to realize. Play every last card you have, take every last advantage you can for the sake of coming out on top.

Don’t bother feeling sad and dwelling on it excessively, as there’s no point. Why cry if no one will listen? Find a mantra or a some sort of code word to shun these emotions away when you grow tired. It works for me, but it may be different for you. Additionally, masking this existential suffering with success in things such as fitness, finance, or creative endeavors can not only help quell it, but also some of your own sorrow as you realize the problem isn’t (You).

Now that’s the only time I’ll help any of (You) fools, so I accept your thanks but also don’t need it as you’re all beneath me anyway.

This reads like projection and cope, and I mean that completely unironically

Your tone was gonna make me dismiss you as another d/ic/k, but then you said
>I'm only replying on the maybe 5% chance you're actually some wronged genius
Thank you for this. That’s maybe the first time anyone actually cared enough to listen to my side of the story, so I’ll give you what you asked for.

Concrete examples, right? For starters, my parents clearly only had me out of their own stupid interest. I’m not a human to them, I’m a tool they use for their own stupid ends, they want to forge my life in their vision, and use their ideal of success to delude themselves into thinking they’re “good” parents.

Next, if you spend any serious amount of time observing the average person and their interactions, and even trying it yourself, you’ll see what I mean. “Friends” don’t really exist, and they’re just there to quell their own loneliness and try to get something out of you. In my case, I can say that people like me because I can be quite charming and funny, I’m actually somewhat popular in my own right.

I’m also not bad looking, which can attract girls, which would then attract guys who want to attract said girls (I want no part of it).
>How do you know you're smarter than most people? Dumb people tend to think they're smarter than they are
I’ve always been in all the smartest classes at school, I tend to be sharper than most of my peers and always manage to weasel my way through things, plus I have a wider array of literature and in depth cinema analysis under my belt than most others. Adults have remarked on how intelligent I am very often. I know I’m not stupid.

Also, i don’t want to brag, but I’m consistently hardworking to at least some degree. I try to draw everyday. I workout diligently. After some time of doing these things, I’ve achieved good results, and I look forward to what it’ll bring me in the future.

"hey you art is pretty good"
"thats pretty shitty. stop drawing!"

how the fuck should I know if I even can draw or if I even improving when I ppl give me such different opinions.

>8 years old
>doing shitty copies of Pokémon
>get discouraged because I’m not one of the artsy kids and parents say art is gay
>flounder around half assembly and stop
>pick it back up when I’m 18
>realize I could’ve spent all that time learning to draw instead of starting from scratch

>Rendering is nothing more than the icing on the cake, so you should focus more on bettering your proportions, linework, etc.
Really? I unironcially thought it was the other way around since I feel like I suck at rendering more than those other things. Proportions would just be paying closer attention to reference and trying to internalize it, and line work would be like the drawbox and dynamic sketching autism, no?

bump

I haven’t drawn properly the past couple days. I said I was gonna work on my memoir but I haven’t done that in weeks. I’m slacking on my schoolwork at this very moment. I’m sore all over and tired, and I almost worry I’m NGMI. But I can’t give up, as much as I want to, since I’m a slave to the ‘path’ I’ve chosen to walk.

>it takes years to get good at drawing

>pick up book about drawing people

>starts off with heads just being circles with lines

Godspeed.
