That when I started anon. Do it.

>>6806347
no you should kys instead, also give me everything you own

>>6806347
If you ask "Can I?" then the answer is no. Because only people who ask "How can I?" will succeed in their endeavors.

>>6806347
It's never too late, anon. Go donate your tablet to a child who wants to draw digitally today.

>>6806347
Niggah, I'm in my fifties. Stop being a bitch.

>>6806347
LOL get fucked

we get this thread every day

>>6806347
Yep, they've done studies on this. 25 was the cutoff for someone to be able to develop their art skills to a professional level. I'd like to tell you that with exceptional effort you can do it, but literally no one studied after 25 was able to do it. Don't listen to people trying to blow sunshine up your ass, it's not possible.

This 50 year old is going to prove you wrong.

>>6806385
Go to your room without supper.

>>6806347
13 is the max age to start, anyone after that will automatically never make it. Don't listen to the false flag actors convincing you otherwise listen to me and me only and buy my brain pills at realtruth dot org

>>6806347
Don't bother, it takes too long to get any good. And when you hit 30 it just gets slower.
That, assuming you're some kind of neet that can afford to draw for hours everyday, if you're a wagie cuck, forget it, lmao.

>>6806347
Not too late, just accept you won't be where you want to be until like 10 years have passed

That's when I started and gave up at 30. Sex is better

>>6806347
Honestly you shouldn't. People don't like admitting it but art is an awful hobby that really only appeals to masochists. You'd hate your own work for years. Most advice will be of little help due to the fact art is more min than matter and for whatever reason humanity still knows jack shit about the human brain.
You'd also be demoralized by the competition. Yes whether anons want to admit it or not. Art is in fact a race. Everything is in this society. Most pro artists were put in rigorous classes before they hit puberty. They may not have gone to college for it but they had an education.
Find another hobby. I'd quit too but it's sunk cost at this point.

No, give up an become a farmer.

I'm almost 33 and /beg/, what kind of answer are you looking for, dumbass? If you put in the work, you'll succeed. If you don't you wont.

>>6806359
Based. "Am I too old dummies" are litteral manchildren that will never follow their dreams and will forever be losers no matter what they try.

>>6806347
You are never too old to pursue your dreams, unless your dreams are something like becoming a fighter pilot, then in some cases you may be too old.

That's a trick question because it's pointless pursuit for most people regardless of age

I see these self fulfilling prophecy threads all the time and don't people realize the simple truth that feeling depressed reduces the quality and quantity of learning extremely?

How can you feel sad if it kills all your drive? I just can't feel sad for long when I think about how there is no benefit. You can't tell wrong from right anyway so why do you choose a mindset that deliberately cripples you. If believing in santa claus gives you gains then you start believing, simple as.

Every time I ever debated someone from 4chan they always tried to convince me of some black pill and I just don't get it. Why do you choose to care about a reality in which you don't succeed? Why have you customized your reality to disadvantage you as much as possible? While /pol/ does nothing all day but try to convince themselves that the world is bad and we are all fucked. /ic/ does nothing all day but try to convince themselves that drawing is hard, not fun and they will never succeed at it. You're all such impotent pussies. 10 minutes on 4chan and I choose to be "disillusioned" in my reality. Because it makes me happy. It makes drawing fun and it gives me gains. Only advantages and zero disadvantages. Yes, there is not a single thing to gain from being sad, from ever accepting a reality in which you don't succeed. Your depression won't fix the world, neither will it give you a single drop of success in anything you ever try to achieve.

The funny thing is someone will try to argue back against what I said. But isn't this unbelievably retarded? In arguing back all you are trying is to convince yourself that you are a loser that will never succeed. The irrationality in this behavior is unreal. And all that for what? To feel like you are in the right? Why do you want to be in the right in this case? Why do you have an ego that at the same time makes you self destruct and wants to make you feel right about it? That's the question you should ask yourself.

Art isn't something you just learn and be done, you never stop learning.

>>6806686
>The funny thing is someone will try to argue back against what I said.
>J-just try to break my barrier. I’m happy inside my box—it is made to protect ME

For me, the anger is a cycle. I get angry it use the anger to find a solution. This is a perpetual loop.

>>6806794
it’s almost 7am don’t hurt me over my gay phone typo

Yup it is all over OP
Pack it in mate, I suggest a job as a plumber

>>6806794
Yep, try to break it, bitch.

>>6806347
It's too late if your goal is "making it"
Otherwise no.

>>6806637
OK, I don't have a large number of studies because I like to sit around and twiddle my thumbs or read 4chan posts about art.

I'm the puppet who can see the strings.ss

>>6807561
Trying to learn how to clean up the lines.

>>6806380
>>6806524
definitely not the same person

>>6807565
Oops, this was me trying to clean up the lines. Sorry, wasn't wearing my glasses.

>>6807571
Playing around with spotting blacks.

I'm 95 years yound and I am one of the biggest furry pornography connoisseurs on patreon, you can do it lad

but for real AI is taking shit over like it or not it doesn't care

>>6807572
And one more for good luck.

>>6806347
It's never too late, just take the fucking pen and draw you mong.

i love you

>>6806347
I'm 26 and I'm learning just now! I'm reading Keys to Drawing.

>>6806347
No, you're already dead, in fact kys to save time.

>>6809204
that book sucks dude. you'll learn that sooner or later. I'd rather download the fundies videos found in the torrent and do them instead

>>6810021
Oh shit, it has contour drawing. I remember Vilppu saying fuck that noise in videos.

True story Glenn Vlippu can get kinda of rough abouts the arts. He slapped a model and called her a ho for moving so much.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

it's only too late if you start balding. when you see depictions of poets under divine inspiration by the muses their full hair seems to flow in the wind as if the muses are blowing inspiration into their head. if you even start losing hair the muses are disgusted to come close to you.

>>6810157
In case you don't believe me, here he is with his ho-stompin' mustache sharpening a knife to cut a bitch.

never too late, but your taste in things are a lot more defined now and picky compared to when you were a kid, so it will be easy for you to too harsh on yourself when the results are not what you want. Just try to find the love in it first imo, then just keep going.

>>6806347
I mean I don't see why not? It's like any other hobby. Sure I wouldn't expect to become pro overnight starting late but if you enjoy the process now and just want to improve the best time to start is now.

What are your goals?

>>6806347
Just fucking do it if you want to. What is with these threads of young adults going all "I'm 18 years old is it over for me" because they saw a 13 year old artist on Xitter or Instagram?

the problem isnt your age. the problem is who the hell discovers they have a passion for creating art at 25, what were you doing all this time? I got a drawing tablet when I was around 16 and I've only had the motivation to doodle awfully on and off for "fun". I'm 23 now with 0 skills. I do not have a passion for art. I only like looking at it.

>>6806347
monet and van gogh didn't start until their 30s shut the fuck up

>>6810769
Why lie?

>>6806347
boy, i sure hope it isnt too late

>36

>>6810794
All artists do is lie

>>6806347
29.
I've drawn since childhood but am nowhere near where I want/need to be. I've dreamed of being a professional storyboarder/animation character designer but that dream is basically dead. Now I just want to create characters that aren't flat and that I can be proud of. This problem is part of a much bigger issues being that I wasted a good chunk of my finite time on this earth.
>inb4 29 isn't old
I have no career, no wife, never even had a gf, live with my parents, etc. This is shit i should have finished by 23 at the latest. Only accomplishment is that I have an associates degree. I didn't go until I was 26.
>art isn't a race
Yes it is. If you have plans to make it, you have to compete. I've already wasted my 20s, I can't afford to waste any more time.
I've gone on and off with grinding and at this point I'm demoralized. I'll be taking the mentorpill as a last resort. Only issue is that finding one is hard. I obviously plan to pay for it and even then it's hard to find one.
In the meantime I'll still grind but I doubt it will go anywhere

>>6810884
>inb4 someone tells me to shut up
I know I'm a faggot. I also know I should quit but at this point I've sunk to much into it.

>>6810800
Ouch

>>6806347
It's too early for you, wait until you develop completely your brain, it may take decades.

>>6806686
A lot of people here don't want to put in the effort to learn how to draw or get discouraged because they didn't master something in a week. It's why you see threads about 'You don't need construction! These pros don't use it in their sketches!' and constant fighting over art courses and books when it all cycles through the same stuff anyway.

That's why a bunch of anons just collect videos, books, and brushes and never put them to use for more than a day.

>>6810945
That's what happens when you try to pick up art as an adult. The clock is ticking and you can't afford to spin your wheels forever. You have or should have a full time job at that point.
I don't understand why anons here ignore this.

>>6810888
It’s not too late to go back to school if you don’t have a skill yet and yet (same age as you) I’ve sunken my entire 20s on this.

it depends what how you want to draw. you can reach calarts level in about a year. but you will not be the next rembrandt and definitely not michelangelo.

>>6807569
One's a crab and one's clearly being sarcastic, retard.

>>6806347
No just kill yourself and do better in the next life.

It's not too late. Except if it's for drawing anime, because that would make you a manchild.

Don't learn how to draw. That's an impossible goal to achieve in a short time.
Just learn how to be better than yourself from a day ago.

>>6810958
Calarts has really high standards. Your portfolio has to be great in order to be accepted.

>>6810745
>what were you doing all this time?
Suffering the consequences of the industrial revolution.

>>6806347
That's when I started drawing basically. You will suck for a long time though and you will get better slower.

>>6806347
idk I wish there were examples out there if ppl that started past 25 or any science on it

>>6806380
what was the study?

>>6806686
The human psyche is weird. I like the term of painbody, a evil monkey in your brain that likes being depressed, feeling miserable. I've been depressed and it literally feels good and enjoyable to a part of me, which scares me. You have to identify the thoughts and dismantle them when they come up, don't walk through life unconscious.

>>6806347
Watch Ratatouille, but replace cooking with drawing. It's not hard. Sit down, look at something and draw. Spend 10 minutes on it, if it's not great, fine. Find something else and draw for another 10 minutes. Rinse and repeat until it becomes second nature, like anything else.

3 to 5 years later: congratulations, you can now draw.

>>6816728
Just to add to this; even if you only draw 1-2 hours a day and you have to spend 10 years, you are not going to die by the age of 36, quite the opposite. Download a few books from this board, and delete all social media, except basic messaging apps. It's not because it's too late, it's all about priorities. Finally, you use Google only for references.

>>6812755
Cutesexyrobutts started at like 28 and he has very much "made it"

>>6806347
It doesn't matter when you want to learn something if you love it, you just do it.
