>Have a hard time drawing women because if they aren't perfect I hate the drawing
>Draw men a lot more because even if I fuck up it can be part of the charm if they are ugly

Anyone else know this feel?

The solution is to never be above D and consistently score really low on tier lists.
Can't drop any further if you're already at the bottom

At least Sycra is asking the right questions. The fact that he's failing miserably and doesn't have the answers is unfortunate, but he's miles ahead of the entertainment/unboxing/list of 10
things youtubers that use art as a shallow aesthetic to wrap around generic algorithm-friendly content.

Simple programs won't impede your gains, but the whole point of digital is going fast, and upgrading to a more powerful program in five years and completely trashing your muscle memory and workflow is the opposite of fast.

Just wait until CSP is on sale for $25, it's got legs and does most things for cheap.

Talk about your artistic struggles or whatever here.

Another software engineer here. Math is way easier. Starting from knowledge that is very intuitive (such as counting) every single subject builds upon the next in a clear cut fashion so its easy to build a curriculum in which people can have a strong math foundation in which they can transition into specific fields of higher order math, if done correctly this also encourages problem solving abilities. With art nothing is clear cut and everything is hazy and there still hasn't been to this day any sort of steps that someone can take in order to pick up strong art skills in a clear cut fashion, you can tackle a bunch of topics in any order and they are all interrelated to each other so even if you got for instance something like the proportions of a figure right, if you're lacking concepts such as perspective those proportions would be applied differently depending on the angle, oops you also got your lightning and your values wrong, lighting is inconsistent, your draftmanship was terrible as well and you have no knowledge of composition, also you can't do clean lines to save your life! You were doing one thing right but everything is terribly wrong because all the others are and you have to get them all right for a passable result. The only valid approach to art seems to be a mix of brute forcing things by drawing a lot in order to gain control of what you put on paper coupled with having a deep ingrained understanding that only comes with an extremely conscious active effort of improving, extensive practice, deconstruction, understanding and a shitload of intuition of basically EVERY SINGLE SUBJECT. On top of this you have a shitload of downright malicious faggots who are either looking to sell you the promise of learning or gatekeeping stuff either conciously or not
>t. 1.5 years in art and still shit
