i havent art is the only thing i have
im going to make it

>>3550127
These threads should be a bannable offence, the point of this board is to create and critique art not create demoralising threads.

If you wanna give up OP then fucking do it, don't try to drag everyone down with you.

>>3550133
Unironically made me feel better.
We are all going to make it.

>>3550127
around 5 years ago. art is a great hobby, but a miserable job, like every other one

well gee OP I was doing really well so far, been working on my art for a good 8 years now but...
I guess you're right OP, you really convinced me!
quitting haha

when my body is cold and 6 feet under. If you're not prepared to go into the shadow realm for this shit do you really love it?

Year 2 of art school

>>3550127
when i draw a grand total of 3 hours in one week
then get exhausted from art and go on a 4 month hiatus

>>3550210
At least mine will be free.
Won't get laid because I'm a Catholic so if I fuck up there It would have been just wasted time.

When I admit this, I will kill myself.

>>3550249
Pretty much this.

>>3550249
Unironically this. But make it "if" not "when". My oil paintings are selling fine so i might actually live for a while.

2 years ago. So I decided to pick up a pencil and draw every single day, you don't just become a pro if you don't work for it.

>>3550127
When I started drawing. Who cares shit's fun.

>>3550127

>Can't see images in my mind
>Poor motor control
>General learning disabilities
>etc

Dedicating every hour of every day for 30 years to drawing I could get good as someone with talent who put in a couple of months. It's just not worth it.

just for you, OP.

>>3550318
I can attribute 99% of that to my failing pituitary gland.

>>3550127
Enjoy wage slave accounting or some other mundane shit. Just dont expect anyone to remember your name 1000 years after you die. Art is for humanity, and every civilization is recognized by its art. Even a great artist that dies poor, in the grand scheme of things, is orders of magnitudes better use of oxygen than pleasure seeking flies of the aeons.

cont.
Being the unknown Altamira cave painter of the future, can you do that? You're golden

Truth

About last year.
>ignore engineer prep school, draw
>art school
>design and typography school
>digital prep class
>3 years EA
>1 years freelance
>1 years small mobile
>2 years
I just got promoted to lead for a design team and I have no fucking clue what I am doing.

The only thing that pushes me is the feeling that every fucking one else close to me knows less about this shit.

>>3550410
>Just dont expect anyone to remember your name 1000 years after you die

yea but in a billion years no one will remember your name.

>>3550418
Why do you niggas always make these lofty claims and never say who you are

>>3550423
Future memers will.

>>3550423
Longer than you Muhammad

>>3550427
>never say who you are
the best career move is to get famous on 4chan.
all good choices comes from listening to anon and spreading your name here.

>>3550177
This is truth- from someone with three legs out from his art job

>>3550127
this year

i am a 'professional artist' in a way that i make an income out of drawing. im just still not happy with how good i am, there are too many people better than me, dats wat hurts

What makes you a professional? Making art for a company? What about just selling your art on your own and making money that way? Is that professional enough?

Anyway, my profession is very personally fulfilling and meaningful (healthcare where I actually get to help people and see their progression), so it doesn't bother me whether I'm a professional artist or not.

Have made a decent amount of money selling my art though.

>>3550410
>I'm going to have the shittiest life I can manage for myself just so people can remember me when I'm dead and it doesn't matter anymore
Kys already and get it over with

>>3550127
>When did you realize you would never be a professional artist?
Never, because I will be.

I never had any interest in being a professional artist. I am majoring in a degree that is as far away from art as you can possibly get. My life is full of drudgery and ugly people. So I like looking at and drawing cute, colorful anime people.

>tfw when deluded people think the world ends with them

>>3550134
>dude just be delusional like me lmao

Fuck off

>>3551519
this

>>3550322
fat fuck

>>3550127
as soon as my pencil touched paper.
that's why i trace.

>>3550127
lmao, losers

When I took a whole week off work just to grind only to surf the web the whole time without touching a pencil.

>>3552267
Imagine this but stretched out over a period of two years being a NEET. Somehow this hasn't prevented me from wanting to try again.

>>3550127
Just do conceptual, post-modern shit, bro.

>>3550127
I'd sign that in a heartbeat and get it framed. I don't think I have ever made real art. Maybe it is impossible to make something that gives you the same feeling of sublime, maybe its just one of those things like jacking off to your own porn, who knows. but i dont think im capable in that regard.

Sign, seal, delivered. A couple of times people have looked at my drawings and exhibited the same reaction that I give when I look at what I consider as 'real art' - they sigh, their eyes get watery, they just show gratitude towards ME for whatever reason.

I think it was a mistake to get into making art for masturbatory purposes, but not entirely fruitless. Just funny to learn that now.

>>3554166
Dude what?

>>3550220
Stop reminding me of myself

>>3554166
>they sigh, their eyes get watery
Does everybody clap too?

>>3551519
our guy

>>3551519
hell yeah we will

>>3554657

>that feel when all these other self confident people posting just how I'm thinking
>realize they won't make it I won't either
>just gonna build my portfolio

"Black hole sun... won't you come, wash away the rain? Black hole sun. Won't you come? Won't you come?"

Working as a freelance artist, I've taught drawing at a university. Got big art directors and artists as friends.

I wish you all the best of luck. All the information you need is out there and with a decent laptop and a wacom + printer paper and Bic pens you've got every single tool you need to make it.

>>3550127
Never cause I am a professional.

Y'all are gonna make it, too, ok?
I believe in you all.
(Except you, illustrat)

>>3550799
But what's you're definition of "better"?

Better anatomy? Better dynamics? Better titties? Anyone can perfect those if they try hard enough.

The BEST artists are the ones who know what they want to make, and can utilize their skills to cohesively convey the image in their head to the medium of their choice.

What are YOU doing to make us see how cool the ideas in your head are, Anon?

>>3550127
More or less as soon as I started, hobbyist master race. I'm still good enough to make some spending money off of art, so that's nice at least.

To every autist in this thread claiming they will make it, they have to make it, it's all they have. Screenshot your posts, post them again in 3-4 years and post the progress you've made professionally. Putting all your eggs into one shitty little basket like that, especially considering how dogshit most of you are at networking, is going to land you either wageslaving, NEETing around your family's house or homeless.
