you know what... i have to amend my earlier statement. honestly, i think people need to be good at something to be happy and need to be improving at something to not be depressed.

When you meet a new person and they ask you about yourself. How can you live with yourself if you're just a talentless faggot? If you're a buff chad and you have a black belt or something that's great that's cool. You have dedicated yourself to something and accomplished something. People might actually care to talk to you because you probably have some wisdom and some things you could teach them. That's someone I want to be friends with. No one wants to be a loser. But it doesn't have to be fighting. It has to be the thing that you're passionate enough to put in the amount of work it takes to git gud.

some of us are not willing to get kicked in the head. but hey im ok with drawings for hours. im okay with having my drawings scrutinized. im okay with humbling myself and taking advice from basically anyone and trying their techniques. im ok with carrying around a sketchpad and pencil everywhere i go and with posting my drawings online everyday for years. So drawing is my thing. I know I'm not great at it, but I'm better than I was last year and I'm far better than normies. Aside from Anons, actually no one has ever insulted me over my art, not even a family member. I have no fear. I feel like I have no vulnerability. Like I'm moving in the right direction and I'm unstoppable. Short of a medical condition where I lose the use of my hand or eyes, I'm not controlled by shame, ego, political correctness, laws. I don't care what girls I want to bang think. I don't care what my grandma thinks. I'm just sick of being mediocre but I'm more than willing, I'm actually eager to drudge through the uphill battle to get to the high ground. I'm just grinning like a retard moving like a missile. I don't shit on anyone else. I love people like Proko. It's all so positive. Nothing can stop me

Exactly this. One time I decided to stop drawing cause it wasn't a good career choice. I got heavily depressed for weeks. As soon as I restarted, day by day, I started feeling well again. Drawing is my point. My point in life. What's the point of living if there is no objective you can work for?

Whenever I'm feeling useless, I draw. Right now I'm unemployed, living with my parents, awaiting the start of my Master's so I can be a highschool teacher. I have no idea if I'll ever live of my life or not (and I'm pretty far away from it), but one thing I know, I'll always draw.

To be honest I'm not sure anymore.

I have been trying to get myself to draw in a more committed fashion however I just feel lost. The only thing I want to make art is just another outlet to express myself.

I'm worried about my future as my mental health has hit the shitter pretty hard and currently about to move back to my parents to save up money and get back on my feet once more. My doctor and counselors have been very concerned about me likely having schizophrenia and other possible disorders like PTSD or something like that.

If I learn to commit myself into this hobby then hopefully I can make some recovery of my illness.

I've only just started to take it seriously a couple months ago. Honestly, I know I'm never gonna be able to be at the top and I'm fine with that. I just have fun doing it. I started as jokingly "redoing" one of my best friends drawings in MS Paint with a mouse, and I found I actually enjoyed the act of creating. Since then I've stopped playing as many video games and just listen to music and draw. Idk, it puts me at rest like I've got a purpose finally. Thanks Caleb, you're the fucking best.

I liked to draw video game fanart as a hobby but then I tried livestreaming one day and a guy gave me $10 to draw something for him on stream. After that I quit my job the very next day where I was making $12 a month and started studying to make a living with commissions. Now I have improved a lot but I still consider myself a hack and dealing with money gives me anxiety so I rarely take commissions even though I haven't had a single cent in over 6 months.

The bar for me is pretty much on the floor at this point but I still can't make it and I don't know how to overcome this. I'm currently just earning enough to feed my dog.

I honestly like making art. It is a strange process where I can completely detach from reality and create something, that usually pleases me very much when it's done.

I like to create new things in my life, after a big change of life situation where my apartment walls are filled with only white.

I like the idea of being a kind of a crazy artist. I get the biggest kicks when I get absolutely hammering drunk and go through with a totally insane painting idea.

I have no wish to financially profit from my paintings. But that would be a funny, welcome but albeit ridiculous idea. No expectations.

Still I love to hear (mostly positive) opinions of people about my paintings. Sometimes, actually often critical opinions are funny and interesting also.

I guess I just like making art, posting it, giving it and talking about it (also others' work not just mine, but still mostly mine).. wow.

none, but people who burn for the craft itself will have an easier time putting in the effort and are less likely to be discouraged or distracted

if you draw because you want a partner/friend/money or fame your goal is not getting good at art for the sake of it, but because you believe it will help you achieve your dream of having social status. which it probably won't.
