Just draw trad and go to live drawing classes or go paint outside

>>6149088
>supposed to be exciting
I am excited as fuck, tf you talking about?

>>6149108
you don't sound very excited

>>6149099
I don't live in LA or New York. The only life drawing I found on meetup was a gay "strip down and draw each other - men's only" life drawing class

>>6149088
>Glamorous parties and sights
The fuck? Artist is just regular job like any other. There might be a 1% that lives a glamorous lifestyle but that won't be you.

>>6149088
i don't know man
god this hurt to read a little

No artists think like this, weak larp

>>6149088
>Where's the glory and adventure? Where are the cool relationships you form, or the sights you'll see, or the glamorous parties?
This is 1% of you time as an artist and only if you have what it takes to make it, rest is just you drawing indoors. The act of making good art will never be a social hobby.

>>6149088
no one is stopping you from going outside
>muh parties
boring normie

>>6149088
>Is this really it? Do we just draw in our bedrooms all day, and then that's it?
yes
>Where's the glory and adventure? Where are the cool relationships you form, or the sights you'll see, or the glamorous parties?
you use imagination and draw those lol
> I thought being an artist was supposed to be exciting
no

>>6149088
>Where are the cool relationships you form, or the sights you'll see, or the glamorous parties?

You draw it. Induce mental illness on yourself.

>>6149088
>Is this really it? Do we just draw in our bedrooms all day, and then that's it?
If you choose to stay inside, sure.
>Where's the glory and adventure?
It's in making the works you care about.
>Where are the cool relationships you form, or the sights you'll see, or the glamorous parties? I thought being an artist was supposed to be exciting.
You have to seek the parties and the relationships yourself.

>>6149088
you watch too many movies

Why would you want to be an artist if you don't appreciate the solitude that comes with it? In my experience when I'm left alone for long periods of time my imagination becomes highly active, I get tons of ideas, and even notice a distinct improvement in my perception.

>draw in our bedrooms all day
Go outside and draw. Sometimes I draw in the woods behind my house; it's especially comfy in fall.

>>6149117
It's like being the only chess club within a hundred miles but the requirement is to bring condoms and lube.

>>6149257
>Why would you want to be an artist if you don't appreciate the solitude that comes with it?
because op doesn't draw, and he thinks everyone stuck in their room all day is depressed

>>6149088
>gets average of 10k likes per post on twatter
>has a decent following that actually cares about my occasional blog post not art related
>wen I go to our local con once in a while gets lowkey treated as celebrity

not rly

>>6149088
Nigga, I went bonkers and went to a Monastery just to realize I am a dumbass.
I ain't no holy clay, just a nigga with a pen and a waifu.
God forgive my retardation!

>>6149117
Start a competing strip down club that's co-ed.

>>6149129
why not?

>>6149088
Wha? That's really all i want to do
If i got enough money i wouldn't even go to work just sit there and draw all day
Maybe jogg at the evenings and fly to japan once a year but thats it

>>6149088
What exactly is preventing you from doing all those things?

>>6149529
his permabegtardation

>>6149088
> Where are the cool relationships you form, or the sights you'll see, or the glamorous parties?
Only fags and normies worry about this shit.
It's the lifestyle of "artists" who are friends with rich people.
> Where's the glory and adventure?
Try hiking on weekends or something. You don't need to be drawing 24/7 inside.

>>6149088
>Where are the cool relationships you form, or the sights you'll see, or the glamorous parties? I
Give up art and go become a socialite instead, you don't need to draw to do all those things moron

I am miserable and depressed
Mom asks constantly when will I get a job

>>6149088
>Is this really it? Do we just draw in our bedrooms all day, and then that's it?
That literally sounds heaven and its my goal. Do you actually draw anon?

>>6149164
>>6149179
>>6149230
this is just so sad I don't even know where to start with you

>>6149162
>1%
I'd be happy if it were even that amount

>>6149283
followers and celebrity status are vapid. I want equal relationships. I'd go work at an animation studio, but working on pre-school shows must suck ass

>>6149088
All the /ic/ cords splintered and too many sekrit club discords so you can't rly talk to people and everywhere is dead. The only socialization you'll have is brief interactions with anons here. Maybe a few Twitter replies every now and then.

>>6149088
I had some good friends from /ic/ but a combination of cool people leaving or giving up, drama and schizoing out/autism ruined it. It's hard to find a solid group of people. /ic/ servers are all dead

>>6149523
because you're not actively trying to make that your life.
You said it yourself. You sit in your room and draw. How the fuck do you expect excitement to happen?

>>6149855
i wouldn't make such blanket statements, some people are vapid maybe but a lot of people are just painted that way, or expected to be, it's a stereotype, you see

i mean robin williams was famous and he was probably one of the most amazing humans ever to exist

>>6152028
also imagine fame that happens naturally, where someone is just well known for being really sweet and stuff, like they just got really well known that way, that'd be pretty sweet man

>>6149088
walks in the park
the public library
get a beer/whiskey or something if you're old enough and won't get too addicted and go flippin insane or something
reading a book
hmmm
old old movies
laugh at your old self
smile at your old self
study some history
^_~
good luck anon!

>>6149129
don't make up statistics like that, it's a bad habit, and being wrong about things like that will prevent you from any professional life in any forseeable future so seriously just cut that shit out kid.


ALSO,
musicians are technically artists and many of them eat very well every day and have clean drinking water and shelter and protection from most horrible bugs and snakes

The reason I like drawing now is because it's an indulgence in fantasy, like playing a game or watching a movie. If it wasn't I probably wouldn't do it.

>>6149088
Not gonna read any of this thread, but you're absolute retarded, OP. If you think that's why artists create, then you were never an artist. Creation = sacrifice. Oh wait you're a normie.

>>6152146
>Creation = sacrifice
creation = making shit. you don't have to sacrifice anything but the time/materials it took to make it. stop being a whiny bitch.

>>6152152

I'm not whining you dumb faggot. I'm proud to make sacrifices to create amazing things. You're a complete fucking goon/faggot mongoloid smoothbrain. You just contradicted yourself by saying it doesn't require sacrifice and then proceeded to name time and materials. Time is the biggest sacrifices, and there are others, you're just a dumb fuck and I would beat the living shit out of you. Kawaii desu faggot bitch.

>>6152154
so doing literally anything at all ever is "sacrifice" by your dumb shit logic.

>drinking water is SACRIFICE!

If you were doing art for any of those reasons just give up now.

>>6152156
You dumb son of a bitch asshole retard, obviously in the context of devoting yourself to something we're talking about time being the biggest sacrifice--why in the fuck do you think people have problems committing to anything that isn't about DOING WHAT FEELS GOOD IMMEDIATELY. MOST people want instant gratification and the path of least resistance to MAXIMIZE time spent doing things that are the most rewarding while they are giving up time. Giving up time for something that doesn't require hard work feels like less of a sacrifice. Do you need your fucking head rattled some more?

>>6152156
Bro it's the degree of time needed to be a good artist.
Giving away one penny isn't a sacrifice but giving up your entire last paycheque would be. Get it?

>>6149088
can you name a single visual artist active in your lifetime with a reputation for partying or any sort of prominent public personality? the only people i can think of are from the 80s at the latest

>>6152219
is the golden age of art over?

>>6149088
if you came this far without realizing you'd be stuck in the 99 percentile, another nameless face in the mass of starving artists, then you came here for the wrong reasons. you got into this hobby for the wrong reasons. at this point I've long since abandoned any aspirations of success or grandeur and draw merely for my own amusement. its garbage art, absolutely godawful art, but I continue doing it because it entertains me. I only wish it could entertain others.

>>6149088
>is this really it?
yes, now go back to draw /beg/

>>6152272
i would say it ended long ago. sometime between the late 1800s and early 1900s. pretty much everything after that is an unending series of mass produced, mass marketed, deconstructionist movements until you hit the whole "anything can be art" era of pure fucking cancer. the internet has only further fractured the already shattered remains from the golden age. art as it was once understood no longer carries the same meaning between two people let alone hundreds of thousands.

>>6152286
There was never a singular golden age. You can take off the nostalgia goggles now, they completely warp your understanding of history anyway.

>>6152280
>you got into this hobby for the wrong reasons
you are a jackass for assuming people get into something just as a hobby

>>6152159
artists love people, their whole interest is in love, life, and happiness. Why would anybody on Earth go out of their way to be a total loner? That's not the way people work

>>6149088
i ditched my friends to focus on drawing, I don't regret it. All I need is my husbando.

>>6152546
I did the same, but I'm miserable. Have you been diagnosed with anything? Or is there something wrong with me...

>>6152550
i think it's normal to feel solitude, i personally don't like people(I don't have assburgers I checked) and I don't feel passionate about anything but drawing

>>6152545
ever heard of batman

>>6152154
just use the word invalid. "invul-id"

>>6149088
draw outside retard

>>6152545
You have clearly not met many artists. They create because they have to, not because they like people. They just need people as an audience, which they also hate.

>>6149498
sometimes I think the only true path to happiness is to join the shaolin monks

>>6152580
>You have clearly not met many artists
that's kinda the point of the thread

>>6152545
I'm not saying you shouldn't do those things. I encourage it. But if the reason you did art was for the glamour and excitement then nah that sucks.

>>6149088
You get to draw all day?
How?
