I've seen /ic/ a fair few times mention how the masters who made it all started out very young and got good fairly early in their adult life and I seen plenty of examples but i'm wondering. Does getting good at art really have to do with those seemingly crucial ages and not just only matter in a professional scene? If art's how you devoted to make a living it seems more practical to have that feasible by a young enough age like any other lifelong career. But outside all that I don't see how if someone wanted to start at 20 it would take them any longer to build skill as it would if they started at 10. It just sounds silly otherwise.

It's pretty common knowledge that children have an easier time learning music, and foreign languages.
Iirc if you don't learn to read and write by age 10 you can never learn just because it's such a foreign concept, and your brain is out of the learning stage.

You can still learn many things as an adult, but your progress will be much slower than someone who's brain is in the maleable state of childhood.

Have you never encountered an older man or woman that lived a rural life, dropped out of school young and never learnt how to read or write, only to then learn at the age of 50 by forcing themselves to?

That's the problem with /ic/, too many people making ignorant statements and discouraging themselves and others into believing that they can't do the simple act of putting pencil to paper and making something that looks good.

Goddamnit JUST DRAW!
