i get what you mean
its feels crazy insincere sometimes, and ive had many conversations with multiple different people online who are clearly only interested in climbing a social ladder.
its really fucking weird and feels like im not talking to humans.
this isnt just art, either- i truly believe all social media gets like that after a certain point.
i only compliment people in private and keep my posting strictly art only partly because of this.
if you truly dont care about engagement and only want a place to toss your art and look at other art, i highly recommend doing that as well

I think I over-analyzed so much that I can't even trick myself into thinking that I may be good, I know I'm complete and utter trash at drawing.

I tried my hardest on this sketch and had no idea what to do with it after this. You wouldn't understand though since you are filled with the Curse of Knowledge right now. I look back at the drawings I made the first few days when I started drawing and despite trying my hardest, it seems like I didn't try at all. The better you get, the more it seems like you tried.

That's a good idea, I didn't think of that.

This one was from imagination. All I did before this was draw from reference.

>>4304218
I do that. I can literally put wrapping lines around the entire head while I'm drawing and it will still end up looking like shit.

I'm drawing from life as much as possible. I only recently started to copy other artists. I realized that drawing from life actually made my drawings look even more flat and like symbol drawings because I wasn't exactly sure how to simplify or stylize what I was drawing. The only way you can really draw exactly what you see if you plan on rendering it exactly, which I don't.
I just want to get good at general drawing.

They weren't from imagination. I only draw from imagination when I do a DAD or something--unless I get lazy then I just do a copy of another artist.
I'll probably do what you said and start just copying a lot of other artists since before this, all I did was draw from life--which doesn't really seem to be helping.

>>4304223
That's a hard pill I had to swallow. I'm trying but I think that I might need to copy other artists so that I know what exactly I can simplify.

Thank you! That's probably a good idea. I feel trapped with all these courses and the idea of having to trudge through another drawing is mind-numbing. Maybe I should just draw for fun, instead.
