>is 20 years old too late for me to become good at art?
I'm 32, started in January this year, pissed around and didn't draw enough, despite drawing daily until october, got super frustrated then because I felt like a total fucking loser for drawing every day yet still producing nothing short of kindergarten levels (in my mind), unfucked myself after realizing that I shouldn't be as hard on myself and that I actually did better than I thought, etc.

And I have been trucking along since then.

Started focusing on one area and one area alone, still didn't draw enough though until about 7th this month.

Where I finally started drawing more than 30 minutes and went from utter potato to "hey I can make out what this is supposed to be" in ~10 days.

Scanner and printer are coming in the mail tomorrow as well, so I'll finally be able to study offline without internet distractions and then also be able to scan stuff for further digital painting.

But seriously, if you think that any of these faces/heads on this page look even remotely good or not horrible, then be assured that this was done over a shitty year with shitty work ethics for most of the year with sometimes only drawing a single circle per day to not break the streak but usually only 5 to 30 minute sessions.

I started as absolute potato and I'm basically uninspired and have little artistic drive.

I'm sure you'll be able do a lot better.

Very slow progress, but progress nonetheless.

I just wish I were healthier. This was just intended to be a warmup but I feel too weak now (unrelated to art even though that taxes me as well, mentally) and if I can't concentrate and try drawing anyway then I get cranky like a lil baby (a German word for it would be "knatschig", which fits so much better).

And I vowed to myself never to get angry or frustrated at art ever again, and so far I have gone allmost two months without frustration even though I still suck.

Gotta embrace that zen and take my time.

I have only started drawing this year and wasted most of it by going all over the place and not thinking things through, this last week of pure head drawing has given me more progress than the whole year of gesture drawings and other shit.

Comfort zone is so important, at least to me, its reassuring to see progress. Fuck going all over the place ever again.
