I think you have hidden talent that will take longer to unlock. You have a quality that reminds me of Taiyo Matsumoto(google him), if you find the fun in drawing loosely and expressively, not getting hung up on "accurately" you may recover and unlock that "talent". you would have to throw out your preconceived notions of what makes a good drawing, can you do that?

it's too late for you (too schizo) but this is a cool example of how you can hold on to self sabotage just to feel better about self sabotaging yourself
like if you were to realize you were sabotaging yourself you'd have to deal with the harrowing feeling that you wasted 3 years of your life hating yourself and that would be too painful
but if you could push through that initial pain and regret, you'd be able to start new and be free from the self sabotage

thanks anon! very enlightening, I won't stand in my own way just to keep old narratives alive.

It fascinates me to see people fail to improve despite drawing for a year. It makes no sense to me. I don't understand. Whenever I try drawing something for 2 or, god forbid 3, weeks, and fail or I begin to see that I will fail, I immediately change how I do it to find a better way. I can't imagine going for a month without improving any part of my thinking, preparing, or drawing process. Hell, I can't imagine ending one drawing session without learning at least 2 new things to help me draw better.

What the hell are you people doing out there?

It's not rocket science. Improving is honestly so easy that once you figure it out you wonder what the fuck all that struggling was about.

Step 1: "Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?"
You can't fight with the loomis method forever. Drawing the exact same way will not get you different results. Find out where it is you're going wrong, stop doing that thing that's making you go wrong, try something else.

Step 2. There is no step 2. That's all it is. Stop going around in circles. You can draw a thousand faces in a month if you want, but guess what, drawing a thousand faces incorrectly has only taught you to draw a face incorrectly. There is no sneaky progress, there are no sudden clicks in the brain, there is no divine intervention.

Or you can go back to doing the same shit the same way hoping this time shit will be different, idk. You decide.

>7 month schizo
I remember you. I started drawing a few months after you did and I remember all the schizo threads you made back then. Insane how it's been 3 years since and you're still as schizo as ever.

>> No.6985325

I'm short-sighted in one eye, hates art back in school, have tism, yet i can say i'm proud of my works no matter how crude it is since i started drawing 1,5 years ago. You lack the will and the confidence. Keep this up and arts wouldn't be the only thing you "think" have failed

I think he actually doesn't have the mental faculties to improve. The meme that everyone can draw needs to die. An autist might be able to draw photorealistic, if he is functioning. A down syndrome kid never will.

same. he'll always be 4-months schizo to me. found him when i first started my art journey. it's insane how much he's stagnated and how much i've grown. every time i feel bad about my productivity or my improvements, i just look in my folder of 4months-kun's ultimate failures and return to my craft with renewed vigour.
thanks for everything

You failed because you stayed in the circle here in pic rel, longer than your temperament could handle. You really needed to take a break when you first started hitting a wall(the first time you ate a drawing?), taken up another medium like clay sculpture for a time or something like that.

>> No.6985787

Ask yourself, did you actually learn something during your time practicing and studying? Did you actually take the time to examine and understand things while you were doing exercises and applied what you learned in later drawings? Or did you simply draw what you were told to draw, expecting that you would simply "level up" after gaining enough "drawing xp"?

The problem with threads like these is there are so many resources and proven study methods online that if an artist actually had the drive to get good they would be researching, following tutorials, practicing, and they would inevitably get good at drawing.
Talent comes from passion, having a deeper purpose for your work, and having a clear goal in mind. I can tell at a glance OP's only drawing for the sake of drawing, and when you're doing that you physically can't improve.
Add on top of that a self-destructive mindset (e.g. Ugh, I'm shit so I may as well not try), a lack of personal responsibility, and a victim complex that makes them see legit advice as flippant dismissal, and you get a dickweed who makes threads solely to frustrate people who try to help them.
They're seriously doing that thing children under 6 do where they just repeat "Why? Why? Why?" because it's an easy way to exert control over someone and stress them out. Excusable for a child because they don't know any better, but deeply worrying behaviour for an adult.

Long story short, ignore this fucking loser, they're an energy vampire.

Interestingly I feel like I learned a lot just by having a sketchbook and a clear goal. It showed me how much fear can stunt your growth and make you avoid drawing the things that are difficult. When we do finally draw the things that are difficult and the result is poor as a result of our inaction, our perspective may become distorted believing that we worked harder than we actually have.
Nowadays I take note of how much I'm actually drawing trying to not also be self deprecative about it. Whenever I do fail, it's become 'I didn't draw it enough because I've been avoiding it' rather than anything about talent. I think it's a better mindset that shifts it to a position of responsibility rather than determinism or fatalism, therefore something that can be controlled and changed.
