After 2 years of prioritizing the OP picture heavily I finally allowed my Social life to take a upswing again. It really keeps you from learning when you get to meet friends 3-4 days per week.
So I ordered a bunch of art books to guilt me into spending more time with them once they arrive.

Rpg group starts to gather again, MtG bro's start drafting new set, Boardgames more tha once per week if I want to. It's good but it feels bad to not be drawing...

Hm, overall I've been drawing "seriously" for like 6 years now, and out of that like 5 were spent digital painting. I wasted a lot of time though in that period, there were times where I pretty much didn't do any art for like 8 months at a time due to depression. Or I would be in high school and couldn't devote that much time to things, and at one point was on my country's junior national team for a sport and was busy with that training 13 times a week. Oh, and I'm surprisingly lazy, so basically you can get pro in half the time I did if you work hard and intelligently. I feel I didn't work as hard as many other people, but I try to approach things very logically and it's let me progress at a relatively quick pace I suppose given the amount of art I do. And yeah I believe school can slow some people down a lot, especially if the goals of the school/program and your goals aren't completely in sync. You just need to be the right type of person to be able to learn on your own quickly....I've met a lot of people that aren't that good at it and need to be spoonfed or have a schedule set out by someone else and assignments given to them.

I got booted off of my summer job and my mom has been gone for a few months to deal with a house that my grandma who just died left her on the other side of the country.

I feel my summer job was good, it was menial of course, but it gave me some sense of fulfillment and friendship. I've now reverted back into my full neet self. I found some happiness in riding me bike every day lately, but now it's getting cold. I cant bring myself to get another job for some reason. I guess it may just be a really confusing time.

I don't enjoy anything anymore. Anime seems like a waste of time. I have a hard time making myself play any videogames. I don't enjoy reading too much. I spend my days browsing the internet.

I can only take solace in the fact that I don't think I'm terrible at drawing as a beginner (might just be my bit or narcissism I somehow have). I'm right now trying to make drawing daily habit. I'm reviewing proko. Also I have quite a bit of savings from when my brother died. It feels scummy to be living off of it like this though. Ah, I should've signed up for that life-drawing class.

Despite it all, I think if you asked my only IRL friend he'd say I'm pretty funny and cheerful seeming guy, just with a bit of a melancholic streak. I don't think I'd ever commit suicide.

I hope we all make it, guys. Sorry for the blog, felt like I had to write something.

Recently I've been feeling fucking depressed and overwhelmed with my collection of images and my follows on pixiv, where I have like 1000. I have no idea how to organize my shit and I'm following a lot of artists for one single image they drew that I liked while I don't care for the rest of their content. Then there's the artists who just tickle my pickle with their art. I'm currently trying to sort by artists, but of course there's the tons of images I have with no source and all these folders look shitty in the browser.

Oh man, your situation sounds completely the same as mine. It's been a rollercoaster for me for around 5 years now. To simply put it - depressed. I've been to a psychologist too, said clinical depression.

Sometimes I feel fantastic, but those moments are rare. The only thing that helped me was going abroad this summer, snapped out of depression for about a we week st the end of my 3 months outside of this shithole. But, back to it again. Don't know what to do to change the situation.

I never got a girlfriend in my life I am 28 now. My father was schizofrenic, got my whole childhood messed up, then I had to take care of him, and now he is gone, but I feel like I am too messed up after living depressed for so many years. I even turned down a girl I love recently, because I didn't want to hurt her. That was the most painful thing I ever did, but I gave me motivation to study harder, get that dream job at concept and become capable of supporting a family.

Drawing seriously to me would be dedicating most of your time to drawing/studying.

It's been half a year since I decided to pursue an art career, and I'm able to comfortably spend most of my day drawing now, but its mostly just random drawing/doodling. I feel like its mainly because I've met other aspiring artists through school, although the school itself has felt more like a hindrance than anything else...

So if I've learned anything, it's that you need to be in the right environment. Get to know a drawing bro somewhere around your level.

i constantly get hit with bouts of frustration on how slow my progress is, and how i never bothered training classically when i was a teenager. it never takes the fun out of drawing or studying but it makes it so i can't really enjoy doing anything else, like a game or something, unless i'm really burnt out, because i feel like i'm wasting my time if i'm not drawing or studying.

Hello, Darkness. My old friend.

And hello, fellow depressed NEETs up in this thread. I'm going to turn 24 in about a month and I haven't even been able to get out of my hometown or put in serious effort to improve myself in any way so far. I'm not completely without hope, but it still feels bad. Having family that doesn't understand chronic depression sucks ass on top of it. Breaking up with my abusive now-ex girlfriend a couple months ago is helping my recovery. Back then I was in even worse shape. Hardly bathing, hardly eating, etc. Now to get a job and get some extra money so I finally get out of here and go live with my friends in Philly. Suburbia is hell.

Dunno if this is a good idea but maybe you d/ic/ks have a solution to this.

I've had a huge depression in my late teens and haven't been depressed ever since. I actually feel pretty resilient when it comes to that now.

But the problem is, I haven't really gotten out of my art slump yet, years later.
it's been an endless cycle of practising basic stuff, getting in form again, but rarely do I actually produce things at the end of it (besides sketches).
Usually I trail off for a few weeks, and then make a come back again, only to produce nothing at the end again.
It's a constant cycle of "getting in form", but I very rarely get to the producing stage. Do I just lack work ethic? Confidence? What am I doing wrong?

Meanwhile I stopped working my ass off the last two years and spent my time dicking around and having fun while working on a freelance gig every couple of weeks.

My dream is to travel to weaboo country. Not going well at the moment. I dropped four colleges, four unrelated courses in four years, not because of demotivation but I couldn't see myself in those careers. I like to pretend college is a waste of time, that those attending are more hopeless than I am, and it's not working.

I wish I didn't drop that first multimedia arts course, I wish I hadn't disappointed my parents, I wish I finished the course and four years later I would be so good than I am now, have a job, no burden on my mom and dad, have money to buy my own bike and ride rural weaboo province all day, sniffing the four seasons, join an archery club, make meaningful friendships, drink sake, eat sushi, lose myself in a class A whorehouse, smoke class A cigarettes, become ripped, return to third-world home country once a year, see my parents proud, my brothers astonished, other relatives jealous.

People told me there are two ways to get into Japan as a baka gajin: go teach english or go as a student for STEM stuff. After all you're not a cripple, somehow I think you're not 46 years old and what's the deal with the amount of colleges you dropped out if you don't see yourself in that field. Sticking doing shit you don't like would be a similar waste and you don't want to tell me that after dropping multimedia arts college you were banned from trying again in the whole world. Don't move and nothing will change, after all you'll always have most radical resort tho use when you're feeling that you can't it anymore - drawing

It's really interesting when I meet someone about the same age as me. I'm November 1990 as well. It feels like we were at the same starting line but we all end up in different places.

I only browse /ic/ because I like to draw as a hobby. I'm actually pretty much the opposite of most people here. Software engineer living near DC. I have a pretty comfortably well paying job and a girlfriend and I live with her in an apartment.

It might sound like I'm on the other side of life, but we all share the same problems. I'm never satisfied with who I am and where my life has taken me. I frequently struggle with depression. I have a mentally abusive ex, and I don't know what's going on with my current gf. I don't feel like we connect but she loves the shit out of me for some reason. She does everything for me and I don't know how I could leave her or the job which I'm not sure I want to do for the rest of my life.

For you guys, the dream is living off of freelance and becoming someone. I want to start a small tech company. Games, or maybe a website with some ad revenue. It's all just a different version of the same.

I guess what I'm trying to say is we all have these problems. It's not just the plight of the starving artist. Nearly every person you meet. Florists, lawyers, engineers, cashiers, we all go through this. There's nothing wrong with us. It's just a part of life.

We're all gonna make it, bro.

Most people have low self-esteem and are obsessive little bitches. More than likely, it's not love at all.

You do realize a huge chunk of the industry is self taught right? Jaime studied alone. So did Min Yum, Rapoza, Rigney, Ruanjia, DanielC, Peleng, Jana, Mathias, Marko, and many other big names.

Also a good chunk of those things you listed are not actually true. You don't have to be enrolled in university to go to life drawing, there are plenty of drop-in sessions in most cities. You can network online with other artists on forums, fb, skype etc. and they can give you valid good feedback on your work. There are workshops like THU and MB that happen for people to meet up.

So you're a weak person. Man up and get some discipline in your life.

Or wait, and eventually your self hatred will outweigh (kek) your desire to eat. Or you will just get stupidly fat and die young. I suggest starting now, and just make some small changes at first. Cut out sodas and juice and go on a walk a couple times a week. Eventually you can control your portions, eat healthily, go to the gym regularly etc, but for now start small. Think of it like art--you start off with just an hour a day, maybe some gestures or other beginner things. Eventually you add more and more until you can paint 10 hours a day and are a working pro.

The knowledge is there. It's like many artists on here that have gathered enough information to know exactly what to do to improve. I have read self-improvement books, read the /fit/ stick, got a gym membership, read on how to develop habits and read countless of opinions and already tried things that worked out. The knowledge is already there and perfectly formatted in the way that I can perfectly believe in it and imagine every single process I need to go trough to reach my goal, but I don't have the momentum that I need to actually hit the first domino stone.

Fuck you niggers. Don't promote hard work to those naive youngsters who aren't good to begin with. Just because you started art school thinking talent doesn't exist and bought into the pyramid scheme doesn't mean you have to trick others.

Having said that, discipline is reallllllyyy important. But I don't think it can truly be cultivated until you get a tad older. If you're <22 yrs old, don't beat yourself up for lacking discipline. Your frontal lobe isn't fully developed yet. Your best bet at your age is to not make yourself hate art by overworking yourself and by not listening to your 420blazefaggot friends of yours who, though they will find success in doing psychedelic art now, have already fucked themselves over in the long run. Knowing what not to do is more important than what you "should" do.

Thanks for the deep and comradic concern anons, but the problem is that i'm art student poorfag, who cant afford not even a single hour of professional help. But i've been trying overcome my obsessions, by reading some help blogs, watching some videos of people who overcome OCD. I even started heavy lifting and eating healthier, cuz i read it somewhere helps with your mental stability as well. Still hard to not to wash my hands after I touched a filthy hippie.

>tfw I had OCD since 8 (20 now)
>tfw i beat my obsessions twice since, without any medical drugs or professional help
>tfw theres always some little things that somehow crawl back into my habits
>tfw every time OCD thoughts return its even more intense than previous time.
>atleast i can draw bweebs

I feel flipping terrible, I just want the motivation to force myself to draw but I can't even muster that.

I had a "friend" like that. Normally I'm one to keep in touch with people, so I decided to play a game and not contact him unless he contacted me first. It's been two years now.

I didn't need him in my life anyways. Some people are just caught up in their own lives, they forget they're not the center of the world.

I'm guessing being a narcissistic asshole is just my true nature, at this point i would rather overrate myself and have massive confidence than just staying humble and not allowed to enjoy myself like other retards.

Congratulations!

You learned: Crabs in the Barrel Mentality.

You use the suffering and discontent of others to help validate your current place in life You're confidence and/or narcissism is thin as paper because you have no real accomplishments as foundation to truly validate it. You prefer to not bring attention to your birthday. You don't even like your birthday because it's the biggest reminder of where you are in life and that you're only getting older.

I can't just be a nice person, it does not come natural. I'm mostly done pandering and changing what i want to say in order to appear like something i am not. I'm not going out of my way to being a dick, i'm just not holding it back unless people can provide me something.
People only want to hear their own opinions echoed back at them in order to feel validation, wanna know how i made everyone like me even though i am dead inside?

1. Figure their personality out
2. Find their buttons
3. Act like what they do themselves without knowing
4. Pander to their opinions

Done, this works on every single person i've done it on, sometimes it just takes more time.

i remember when i was a dumb teenager and used to glorify being an asshole. thought myself how to be one because i felt assholes were achieving most in life. nope. grew up and thought myself how to be a normal fucking person.

hope you get out of puberty soon.

Not a need, but just depressed toward traditional art. Ever since I got into making digital pieces, traditional has fallen to the wayside and now physically makes me tired to do. My brain always loses focus and I just put it down and come back to the computer. I can manage to practice gesture or figure in my sketchbooks, but never for long. I want to shake this before it gets too bad. Any thoughts?

The opinions of someone don't mean shit because most of the time the shit is subjective. It's the humility and respect that matters. I actually prefer differing in opinions because it encourages more interesting discussion and can show the true content of someone's character. Echo chambers are boring as fuck and lead to nothing but a circle jerk where ideas are never challenged (aka the reason why tumblr is a fucking hell hole). They become delusional and end up making themselves believe opinion is fact.

Most of my friends don't like the same shit I do and vise versa. The most we have in common tends to be we both like games, cartoons, and writing. But in terms what of KIND of games and cartoons or what style of writing, we tend to be different, with very few things overlapping. But what's really shared is the passion for those points of interest and the industries involved.

Being fat, lazy and indulgent actually feels good. Your body atrophying is like a wonderful sensory drug. Sorry if it sounds like an excuse, but while fatties are dying slowly, they are also feeling good, laying/sitting down, rotting away. It's a good feeling, while being bad for them.
