>How do i become an artist

Studying the fundamentals and COPYING the shit you like.

>I haven't had a friend
You don't need friends pal, the only person who will improve your art IT?S YOURSELF, if you are willing to get friends just go outside and share the same insterest for fun until you find someone.

>from where am I supposed to get inspiration?

from the things you like.

>Everything I do seems to be mere imitation
welcome to art. have you ever wondered why the a pianist repeat the same fucking songs everytime? now do the same question to drawing.

> i just draw fugly abstract shit that even I am repulsed by.
Welcome to art again, all begginers do shitty art, you are started to learning recently, why did you expect?

Aight thanks lad, Ill have your advice in mind when I draw again in the future.

>>3284898
Maybe pick up another hobby that won’t make you feel even more dead on the inside, anon

no i think im just depressed from being a friendless NEET for far too long. imma try to get a gf or a social life to ease the loneliness and hopefully i can get my inspiration back. Ive always like drawing so it doesnt have to do with art itself.

>do this
>have no friends
>do the same fucking drawings every time
What does it even mean to make it?

I think you need to get therapy or a lot of self help books first

>>3285054
self help books are memes dont listen to this. youre a neet, you need to get a job. get an easy part-time one even, just apply and get out to do something. youll make friends with coworkers. Youll appreciate your time more to shitpost and watch anime or whatever shit you do. Goodluck

>>do this
it's the only way to improve.

>have no friends
English it's my native language, probably you don't get it what I have tried to say from my broken english, I will try to explain again.

For some weird reason many people here thinks that making ant ART FRIEND, will help to improve their skills, yeah it's cool having someone to talk your interest but in the end it will happend this situations.

>art pal it's less skilled than you.
you will start feeling that your are wasting your time with that person, and the only reason it's hanging with you it's to take advantage from you.

>art pal it's more skilled than you.
same thing I said before but now you are trying to get advantage of your artpal.

>artpal have the same level but one of the two will start to improve quickly.

jealousy will start to trigger on one of you, staring with awful comments, talking shit about you or try to misleading, just because he/she become better at you.

the only way that another person will want to you improve your art skills, it's being humble and polity ask if they want to teach you, guess what, you need to pay for that shit or if you are more luckly get a GF that she is willing to help, but since you are in 4chan, it's impossible.

So if you want to really make friends, search them but having in mind that you want a pal that in the future will be your "emotion support" and the other person it's expecting the same thing from you, but remember you are doing this because you want a friend to support you, not for lecheeing things like money, free art tutorial. etc

Friends and supportive people are very important for us, don't be a fucking autist, or try to take advantage for other people ( I know there must be a word for this kind of people, please let me know).

>do the same fucking drawings every time

What I mean it's draw every fucking day. the only way to improve it's practice but remember to get rest too or you will burn out.

>I haven't had a friend or a meaningful experience in years
Well that's your problem right there.

Good advice anon

I'm similarly dead inside. I stopped doing art for a good few months, but I'm picking it back up, just doing some still lifes and shit hoping it'll bring me back into the swing of things, but I can't think of anything at all that I actually want to create. I enjoy the process of drawing and painting, so studies are at least a bit of fun, and it's probably a good thing to focus on them for a while without any ambitious distraction, but I wish I actually had creative desire again.

Draw from depression and alcohol. Beksinski did it with the holocaust!

fill the hole in your heart with anger and spite and then just draw yourself murdering different people

testing

>>3284898
why not try to depict your emotions in works?
the ttrick would be to make it aesthetically pleasing

Your problem isn't an art problem. Getting a job to go out and meet people is a good idea, but sometimes you can be the loneliest in a crowd. Your issue may not be the lack of opportunity to meet people, but the inability to really connect with them. Get help. If you can't afford it or find the time, start writing down your thoughts, and your activities you've done throughout the day. Keep track of your life, your questions, your dreams.

Speaking of friends, it doesn't matter if your friends are also artists. A friend is someone who cares about you and you care for back, with no ulterior motives. If they're friends with you simply because you're good or have similar interests, that's not really a friend. You also never know who you might get along with, so TALK TO EVERYONE, whether you like their art or not. I met one of my closest friends on /ic/ and he's not the best artist, but I talk to him because I like him as a person and there are a lot of times where if I would not have drawn art for myself, I do it just to show him something.

and also wanted to say, don't give up, and don't forget to keep dreaming about the future, how much better it can be, and the people waiting for you along whatever path you choose.

Just look for what interests you for fucksakes it's not that hard. Stop worrying about looking like shit and just practice.
