summing up everything methodically is good and all but there's an important intuitive side to art that can't be replicated purely analytically and it separates good artists from the greats. think about it, there's so many artists trying to be the next big thing, putting in the insane hours but never making it past a certain level.

slightly related: i was listening to a youtube podcast (jeff lafferty) that seemed pretty depressing, there were 4 artists all talking about how you're not guaranteed art jobs, life is hard for artists, you have to be lucky etc.

i decided to check out all of their artwork and it was all shit. i saw another video by will terry who was talking about his hard times not making art, and guess what.. his art isn't great.

that confirmed that most of these guys that say you have to be lucky to get an art job just aren't really qualified for the job, but also they seem like dedicated people who put in the effort and the years, but somehow something is stopping them from really making it.

but that shit isn't really worth thinking about too much desu, best just to trust that you're capable of becoming great and get to work
