Is anyone else driven to tears at how shit they are?

[Anonymous No.3378049]

Not literal tears, but bummed over it.
I have focus issues and haven't been able to constructively maintain a habit for about 10 years. I'm 22 now and still babby tier at art, and I feel like I'll never make it every time I start. It's an awful feeling knowing I have 10-ish years ahead of me.

We can't change our past. But tomorrow depends on you. Don't give up, make a practical plan and act on it.

This but practical in your case is to forget about drawing and concentrate on something else.

Stopped reading here.

Consult a specialist, including a therapist.

[Anonymous No.3378067]

honestly, practice will only get you so far. unless youre a genius you will never make genius art. unless youre talented you will never make great art.

The one time I went was in university at 17 and they kicked me out of school for my depression being a liability concern if I committed suicide. I got diagnosed with a depressive disorder but haven’t been to one since in part because of that fiasco in which they lied to me and my parents both and wound up evoked my scholarship and leaving me unable to pay for university and with a worsening condition.

I haven’t landed a job since that actually provides full healthcare coverage and my parents won’t let me use theirs for therapy or medicine because “craziness is laziness” despite actually working full time hours at a part time job when not living out of my car trying to flounder back into the university system without the funds for it.

Yes I’m a USAnon but there’s nothing to be done over it.

I can get motivated in bursts and keep at it for maybe two months before the despair kicks in and I go inactive. I’ve done this for years now and as a result have made no progress whatsoever. On anything

>dude you guys should man up and just be communists

Is this board reddit-lite or is everyone just a retard?

Same as me and I am 23 now. The only solution that seems working (although not that much) is hating yourself and your life in general. That makes me want to achieve something but it's a double edged sword and it's easy to get caught up in this hatred and going back to nothing, you see yourself as worthless, everything is meaningless etc. Dunno, maybe if you master that way of thinking you can achieve anything because you really want that godhood or whatever. Anyway for me everytime I feel comfortable I start wasting time on stuff that wont bring me closer to my goal. Its not necessarily useless, because I need lets say playing league of legends with friends (I am good at it, fulfills my ego and I dont feel lonely that much), but yeah, in the end its useless in drawing. I really have to do something with my life, because I have no family and no support, its either i get everything by myself or I fail and end up dead in a ditch.

[Anonymous No.3378821]

>>3378240
Yeah. Dwelling in the past certainly doesn't help either because I end up feeling like I'm unworthy of living for not being as good as some 14 y/o Tumblr poster.

I started reading what you were saying because I thought it was related to easels. Then I realized you were just whining about how shit you are and now I'm no long interested at all in anything in this thread.

[Anonymous No.3378854]

Drawing is a lifetime thing. If you aren't willing to give your life to art, you'll only ever be mediocre.

[Anonymous No.3378870]

>>3378049
The reason you aren't improving is because you:
>aren't drawing with your mind
>never learn anything
>don't correct your mistakes

Drawing is simple if you're a moron who just scribbles you will fail in art.
