4 months I wasted, during one I took a break and now back to drawing, only to find I cant grasp the form, I have no talent

Failed at gesture again
A bullet to the head will fix my problems
The moment life ends
I was born to commit suicide

Eternal nothingness will fix me alright
As the bullet travels into my skill, entry wound is clean, waves all over the brain, me, freeing me from my prison, God I get excited thinking about it, complete shock, will I experience nothingness in that instant or my hardware glitching out, exit wound, my mind now takes up the wall, Im free of the body, my mind is meters long

My heroes have nothing in common with me, Masaaki Yuasa? Yukito Kishiro? Van Gogh? Katsuhiro Otomo? Jean-Michel Basquiat? Taiyō Matsumoto? GITS guy? Hokusai?

are you that guy who drew anakin? Post it again

>>5091908
shut
the
fuck
up
you BABY

>>5091943
you want to mock me
I have nothing to lose, Im defeated in spirit, vengeful and spiteful
This was my first drawing 5 months ago

4 months wasted cooming

>>5091945
Ill never be like my heroes
Its over, I have no talent
I was born to experience the gift of death

>>5091949
Then kill yourself, no one cares.

>>5091946
>This was my first drawing 5 months ago
5 months? You're giving up after 5 months?
Jesus maybe you should just stop if you're that impatient. Go pursue something you're not going to bitch out and cry about after barely even starting. You haven't even gotten to the point where it gets hard.

>>5091949
You can't draw like that without a brush pen, a milipen, and a gpen. Get the right tools, at least a brush pen, as sharpies don't cut it.

>>5091971
People in beg are better in less time, I dont have talent
>>5091972
Its about the talent

I ENVY YOUR FREE TIME

>>5091973
>People in beg are better in less time, I dont have talent
Oh, you're this schizo. 'aight fuck this thread, enjoy the pity party I guess. See you next week. Remember to sage.

>>5091976
Cope, YOUCANT DISPROVE IT
I SHOULD BE BETTER

>>5091975
and I envy your talent fuck off
>>5091976
Do tyou think im happy with the way things are going? Im not
I want to draw like my heroes WHY CANT I?

>>5091908
Based 4 MONTHS WASTER poster. Best /ic/ meme in years

>>5091992
>meme
Im a real person with dreams you know
fuck off

>>5091995
No you're a meme, memes shouldn't talk back

>>5092002
Ill eat your mom :D

>>5091973
Try drawing in digital. The undo function/layers are a life saver.

>>5092002
A conscious meme is way funnier imo

It’s okay anon, honestly you already mog most of this board, keep at it and you might even catch up to me, but for that you’ll need an improved mindset, a ruthless, cold desire burning inside you to succeed above all others and prove them wrong

get yourself tested for histronic personality disorder and then shape up your life. I want to see you succeed but you make it hard to route for you man.

>>5092005
I've considered getting a tablet and abusing digital, ctrl z or tracing but Im unsure
>>5092008
Theres no need to lie to me, I don't see this mogging I'm doing, I only see people better than me, this is troublesome
>>5092002
Dont trust your life to a lock :D theyre so easy to pick and a hammer to the knee is so painful or so Ive been told :D

Your last hope is marrying an asian an hoping your son has talent

>>5091995
The meme is your words not you as a person. The 4 MONTHS WASTED thing is hilarious, dramatic and over the top. Looking at your work, you're making fine progress for a couple of months. /ic/ has the tendency to over promise on the rate of improvement and they claim that you should be a pro within a year or else you're a talentless ngmi. From my experience, that's simply not true. For most people progress comes slowly and gradually over years not months. Where you're at now is not a bad place at all and if you keep studying and drawing you will only get better. Don't hyper fixate on how many months or days it's been and don't be so dramatic. You're making decent progress. You already have some understanding of form, proportion, value and perspective. Keep drawing and you'll only get stronger.

>>5092029
I'm not sure it's about form I can't feel it, no matter how many times I try. Is there a subject you have in mind that could help me determine the degree of knowledge I have on this topic?
Think I can ever be like my heroes?
>>5092012
I have BPD, it's not really my own life, apologies.

>>5092029
Today I attempted gesture as taught on Vilppu's Drawing Manual only to find out I don't understand any of it, I failed yet again, everytime I draw I turn into crying due to my lack of skill or talent.
Tried to draw my hand using a bastardized incomplete and not practiced perception of construction, others starting out are doing better work.

>>5092013
Are you going to waste four months learning lockpicking now?

I don't know why /ic/ loves to mock me, I'm the passionate about art in here, I'm a walking tragedy, all the love but no apparent potential.
>>5092056
I already know lockpicking anon.

>>5092062
If your lockpicking is like your art then I feel very safe and secure in my unlocked apartment.

>>5092064
Why mock me anon? What do you gain out of it? Post your art.

>>5092067
I'm fucking around with you man. Stop being an overdramatic pussy, your progress is fine and you need to take a break from this place because its obviously doing damage to your psyche.

>>5092070
I can't take jokes, my personality can't take it, I'm too depressed to draw today, guess is another wasted day, as those pile up, it will be too late to achieve my dream
Soon I'll be 20 and my current lack of skill is worrisome, death is the path of the body as of now, art is all that matters to me.

Help /ic/
Someone is calling me hopeless on /beg/
Is he right? What if he is right? I'm in complete despair, what if that anon is right?
>>5092069

>>5092075
Your art isn't but your unmedicated bpd is if you can't control it.

>>5092072
Do you have cancer? Some terminal illness? Because if you don't you need to stop fucking worrying. You're fucking 19, you got your whole life ahead of you. You need to fucking chill. GTFO off /ic/ and draw

>>5092080
No, but I have to get better quickly.
>>5092079
How to improve my art? Keys to Drawing should work for literally everyone but it failed on me, I can't forgive the book for making me waste time.

>>5092035
>>5092043
You're on the right track. The hand especially shows potential. It's rough but it looks solid. It's okay if you don't understand everything. Drawing is weird. Sometimes you read a book or watch a tutorial and you think you understand the subject perfectly but then when you go to draw it nothing comes out like it should. There's a disconnect between what you know and what you can do. Sometimes the opposite is true. You don't quite understand what you're doing but for some reason your drawings start coming out okay through your intuition alone. It was similar for me when I did Scott Robertson's book. I didn't quite understand what I was doing as I did and I failed at a lot of the exercises but then a few months later it clicked for me and I realized I had developed a stronger understanding of form. Being critical of your work and progress is good to the extent that it motivates you and forces you to avoid complacency and stagnation. But you are too critical and it's causing you mental turmoil and making it harder for you to improve because you're placing all these expectations on yourself. If you're crying after making a bad drawing then you are putting way too much pressure on yourself. Don't expect a drawing to be good or bad, just make a drawing and accept it for what it is. If it's good then that's great. If it's bad that's fine too. Try to get to a point where simply the act of drawing is enough. That's what helps the most, just regularly drawing every day.
Also as for whether you can be like your heroes or not, who knows? You wont know until you try so why not try? One of the best ways to improve is to study the work of artists you admire. Trace it, break it down, study how they handle anatomy, perspective, drapery, etc. and you'll slowly soak it all in. Maybe you'll never be as good as them but you'll certainly be miles ahead of where you are now. The only possible way for you to not improve is if you stop drawing and give up here and now.

>>5092093
>No, but I have to get better quickly.
why?

do you enjoy the process of drawing

>>5091908
have you considered loomis, villpu, proko, watts, betty edwards?

>>5092035
>I have BPD, it's not really my own life, apologies.

this makes A LOT of sense. medicate yourself so you can focus on drawing and not bitching on here all the time

>>5092107
Absolutely.
>>5092123
Yep, didnt work for me.
>>5092096
I see thanks

>>5092132

>>5092164
