i cant see how can you spend so much time here
this board is too slow for that

>>3873973
Discipline is the real problem, drawing will never bombard us with enough dopamine to distract us from 4chan

I NEED
TO
CRAB!!

>>3873986

Should I download a chrome app to block 4chan if I browse more than 1hr a day? I do spend too much time here.

>>3873996
You'll just browse off your phone or find another distraction. Face it, it's over for people like us.

>>3873999
You convinced me, I'll do it. Bye crabs, see u tomorrow during that 1hr frame. I'll have made so much gains by then that you guys won't even believe it.

instead, lets make 20 more threads shitting on kyle, sakimichan or some random youtuber.

cute as fuck

thx for the idea, installed it too

name of the addon is stayfocusd for those wondering

>he needs apps to block instead of self control
Wtf is wrong with you, are you even serious about getting better?

>>3875868
the second anon who installed it here

I dont need it to block it. I like to do the decision of when to stop myself. what I like the addon for is it tells me how much time I spend on 4chan, and I can make the decision myself

>>3875878
I see. You could also try the pomodoro technique. Look it up- it works.

Best way to improve artwork is to look at real life references and to copy other artists, good ones. Well t overall depends on what you want. That’s the fastest way you can improve, as well with looking at training videos, and copying the same methods in your art piece.

>>3875886
interesting, thx

I am curious to see how many time I can manage this and how long the average of the intervals I finish

What's a crab?

A dumb forced meme pushed by retards.

>>3873973
3 hour out of 16? Wow that's fucking nothing

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_mentality

There's a belief that a fisherman wouldn't need to put a lid on a bucket full of crabs, because all the other crabs will happily pull down any that make more progress than them<div class="like-perk-cnt">&#x1F438;</div>

>>3875964
How does this apply to art?

>>3875970
You should apply yourself and figure it out

>>3875970
Basically faggots will fearmonger and pull you down saying retarded things like talent and spark, or giving retarded critique, advice and/or redlines.

>>3873973
>Why can't I get better at art
It is a mystery

I'm surprised there's so many of us who do this, but we never seem to run into each other because the board isn't nearly that quick.

>tfw just remembered something
Except for those times you click on an old thread and it coincidentally updates at the exact same time despite not having been posted in for the past x hours. It's like we all collectively have completed reading all previous threads then reached the same one at the same time.

I'll NEVER feel an insult from some moe reading NEET f/a/ggot. Imagine doing that for even 1 micro second
>>3876087
Sorry but it's not just some forced meme, it's a clearly observable phenomenon and it very much applies to people like you. It doesn't even originate from /ic/. Fucking dumb crab.

>>3876087
Cope harder crab

>>3876018
because those who teach art put the car before the horse?

>>3876130
Fuck, I just feel that they're shitposting and not literal crabs. Maybe I'm too optimistic. Fuck both categories though. I cannot imagine how and what goes through their heads.

>>3876158
No you need to actually learn how to hold a pencil and make strokes before you can learn anything from art teachers.

>Learn to draw first
>Use this skill to learn fundamentals
>Create whatever kind of degenerate stylized anime kaka you want because now you're a god and can bend the rules.

If the fundamentals are confusing or boring to you then that means that your mechanical drawing skill isn't high enough yet to understand what you're even looking at or listening to. You see an art style and think that's the starting point. Anime was a mistake.

>>3876267
if a teacher, a teacher in any field, cant take a normie from 0 and teach him atleast as good as him, and requires the student to show "talent" previously, then he s a failed teacher
>You see an art style and think that's the starting point. Anime was a mistake.
nice projecting

>>3876267
>hey dude, I want to pick up drawing, how do I learn to draw?
>>Learn to draw first
book definition of cart before the horse

>>3876280
Why the fuck do you think SO many people don't make it even half way through most art courses? Most idiots come in with 0 expecting the world. You need to put a fuck tonne of time in beforehand, sorry to break it to you.
