there's a lot of good reasons to want to draw
this isn't one of them
don't feel bad that you can't draw, its a skill people need to learn. humans aren't naturally good at drawing and we don't get better at it if we get older

what are some good reasons? i kinda wanted to get into printing shirts and stuff, but even with software tooling the stuff i had in mind would require drawing skills.

is that a good reason perhaps

Why not collaborate with an artist for that?

i'm talking to a couple rn but it seems like long term it might be worthwhile

maybe it's not though and i'm open to that

As someone who's been drawing for years and years, of course I want you to start drawing. It's a lot of fun and you learn a lot. If you always get a nagging feeling of "damn I wish I could do that" when you see someone drawing, that's your soul telling you that you should be drawing.

Yes, you can make a living by drawing too.

wanting to create is the best and the only reason you need
wanting to draw because you feel inferior will lead you a path of misery

don't let being "good enough" hurt your ego. view learning as more ability to create

>what are some good reasons
check to video and book threads
i would suggest Art and Science of Drawing as a good start

I have met this fork in the road. I'm a cs student who will soon be looking for work, and feel I might enoy just creating filters for photographs and videos and such. When I'm at my best I like to do photography and music production, and always wanted to create some videos for them. Today I was checking out some artistic filters that convert photos to fanous artist styles, and felt that's good enough for me, especially if I can find or make a filter with more granular controls.

I'm not sure of the best route forward; trying to develop any new skill will eat into other things, so personally I feel I'm best served by doubling down on what I already know. Not sure why I'm posting af this point I guess, but I have been thinking about reworking through keys to drawing book just to get thiughts out of ny head easier. I should probably just do it instead posting

>i feel like a child
no, you don't
children would not tell themselves that they feel like children because they can't draw
