today i saw this artist Robbie Travino on instagram. he has been ill for a few months. And his art friends put together a go fund me and were able to raise 45,000 dollars for medical bills.

But the thing is, the guy is fucking super talented. Not just technically but his ideas are awesome too. And I think we have to be really honest with ourselves and while it might seem shitty, it might just be a fact that no one wants to be friends with talentless people. No one cares that we like art and want to be good. They only really care if you are good.

So I have accepted that I don't have art friends because I haven't worked hard enough to get them yet.

Why don't you have a girlfriend/wife? Why don't you have gym friends, why don't you have project car friends? Because you're not good at your hobbies and if you're basing what friends you want on those hobbies then you have a clear cut objective measure of how good a friend you would be. If you're a beg, then don't be surprised you don't have art friends.

>Please someone fucking end my suffering.

its a myth that you cant learn new skills as an adult.
the 2 advantages kids have older adults are:
1) more time.
when you work full time you cant really dedicate that many hours to drawing. in elementary school and high school all i did all day was draw. it was easy to get in 8 ours a day. now im lucky if i get 2.

#2) blank slate. while i dont subscribe to the sartre style tabula rossa bullshit, an adult has a lot of preconceived notions about how something should be done, even if they aren't particularly good at that thing. You have an intuition but your intuition is wrong. Kids don't really have an intuition for how to draw. They just draw. So that's why it's easier to teach them, because there isn't anything to unlearn.

If you ask a 20 year old who doesn't draw to draw a face, it's gonna be a bunch of symbol drawing. and when you try to teach them to draw what they see and construct, the perspective is gonna be all fucked up. its a lot to learn. and its not likely that someone willing to learn all that, would just suddenly develop that much of an interest if it wasn't there when they were younger.

Is there a good way to understand and draw better vehicles? I realized I only draw faces, sometimes bodies, never animals or vehicles, mechas are even weirder to me. I tried starting it, only to realize I don't know how, my mind was blank.
What I wish I could do is draw cool starships, like those in star wars, some artists can pull it off in a such a cool way.
