guess what you have to do

Lifting is braindead repetitive activity where you just lift heavy things up and put them back down, there is nothing more to it, with drawing you have no idea why you're shit and what to do to improve.

>>4576010

>>4576103
If you do start to see some improvement and think that you know a better plan for improving now, and you post your work on /ic/ for feedback, people will tell you that you're actually still at absolute zero, that your method for improving doesn't work at all and will actually make you permanently ngmi, that it would be better for everyone if you just quit now, etc.

>>4576103
you are shit because you don't put in the hours to follow a book and apply what you learn to your personal work

>>4576112
pyw. The books are all shit.

>>4576115
This

>he thinks he can learn to do art from a book
ngmi

>>4576103
youre shit for the same reason somebody is weak. you havent been drawing/lifting enough and also for long enough.
you stagnate for the same reason of not pushing yourself to do anything different.

This comment was braindead.
Some of you are literally just not gonna make it, no meme.

>>4576125
I have been drawing for months and made 0 progress, no kidding

>>4576115
>>4576117
How would that even prove anything, they could be good before reading the book and they just think the book helps them

>>4576141
What books did you study? What video courses did you watch? Have you been drawing from reference or imagination?
Cmon anon, it's impossible to not make any progress if you had a goal in mind.
Also pyw.

>>4576147
That's also true, but at least if he posted good work it would be SOMETHING.
Of course he won't post anything though because the books didn't work for him either.

>>4576115
im following the book Draw Manga by Peter Gray, im doing pretty good following the book

>>4576141
'months' isnt a number of hours, not that it could be a significant amount of time anyway.
'months' also isn't an indication that you've been pushing yourself to do anything correctly; you might have done zero proper reps this whole time.

>>4576006
everyone struggles in the beginning, it's normal
take it step by step and laugh it off. Don't become depressed. "haha holy shit this looks awful" but pick yourself up by comparing what you did wrong.

The moment you stop learning from your mistakes is the moment you stagnate.
>don't want to draw anymore but still want to be able to draw
What do you want to draw? You need to get into the mindset to the point where you can't not draw. Start world building, writing ect. Give what you want to make a reason to exist. Don't become a soulless artist

>>4576151
Loomis, Keys to Drawing, Scott Robertson(got memed into thinking his books are actually digestible), Proko, Drawabox, all from reference

Listen.

>>4576006
Keep drawing doodle sketch get your lines down just practice putting what's in your head on the paper, practice makes perfect persist

>>4576006
Try drawing a bit not for practice, but just for fun. Something where it doesn’t matter if it turns out poorly, because you had fun drawing it.

>>4576103
Drawing is a braindead repetitive activity where you just draw things up in a sheet, there is nothing more to it, with lifting you have no idea why you're shit and what to do to improve.

>>4576314
>drawing
>braindead
You don’t actually draw, do you?

>>4576103
I'm pretty sure you are one of those fatasses who hates exercising and blames society for making him fat.

>>4576317
drawing is braindead, drawing good enough to make it is as hard as making through lifting. im not that anon though

>>4576314

Seething /fit/ggots

>>4576103
As someone who actually used a lift a lot, skills like drawing or playing an instrument are pretty similiar. You just practice every day and get better even if you dom't think much about it.

>>4576326
You idiot, you’re supposed to be using and exercising your brain while drawing, not turning it off. Let me guess, you’re on your fifth year of Loomis fundies or whatever, right?

>>4576340
This is my 5000th loomis head from a slightly angled 3/4 view

>>4576332
fat

>>4576340
drawing is braindead but drawing good enough to make it is as hard as making it with lifting, you'll have to keep improving to make it.
ftfy

>>4576348
>drawing is braindead
Keep repeating that to yourself when you wonder ten years down the line why you still aren’t making it.

>>4576352
the act of drawing is braindead, the act of improving your drawing and make art that makes it is not, brainlet

>>4576348
Making it with lifting requires no effort, as in you know you just need to follow a simple routine, with drawing no one even knows what the fucking routine is and every artist has a different opinion on it

>>4576388
>lifting requires no effort
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA, try again

>>4576388
>as in you know you just need to follow a simple routine
You only need to draw too to get decent.

>>4576356
NGMI

Just destroy your drawing right afterwards, so you get all the practice without having to look at your failure.

>>4576492
what are you a fucking genius or something?

Just masturbate instead.

Kinda true, I wish getting good at drawing was the same as simply hitting the gym
When I do my rep I don't have to think about anything minus calculating my diet, progress comes by itself however drawing implies too much brain input and knowledge, you have to contently think to improve
maybe the equivalent of going to the gym is "just drawing" meme?

>you sees your drawing being quoted

>>4578090
Yeah not getting any replies is the worst since you don't know where you stand, at least one person acknowledging your existence would be nice. The second worst is the short replies that call you shit but don't tell you what you did wrong.

>>4576103
fatty cope

>>4577836
Yes, and?

>>4576006
repeat until it ends
welcome to the struggle, anon.

>>4576492
>tfw I unironically do this
I havent posted any of my work in months

>>4576006
You don't need to be able to draw well to draw. Enjoy the drawing process itself rather than just getting the end result. Keep practicing until you git gud.

>>4576006
Art is not really for you, sorry.
Try something else

>draw all day
>it's all shit
>feel like the day was wasted

What drawing tablet is best for drawfagging?

>>4580233
If you are on a budget, I recommend a Wacom intuous pro.
