drawing what you think something looks like instead of what they actually look like. for example eyes on a face arent circles with black dots, they have eyelids with creases, eyelashes etc.

I'm trying to learn drawing seriously for 7 years now and I'm still a beginner. I scratch every few months a few cubes and that's it. I was even to some shitty local art school at one point in my life. I had some parts where I was very serious and drawn like 8 hours a day but it didn't last.

You have to be smart about learning you can't just bang your head against the wall for 10 hours and call it a day.

No talent is innate. People with predispositions towards certain fields have simply been training relevant skills well before they "discover their talent". Get over yourself.

[Anonymous No.3923464]

>>3923190
No one cares how long it took to make something, what they care about is that the end result looks good, which means you are being judged alongside people who poured 40 hours into 1 drawing. Unless you have a very specific aesthetic the internet will not latch onto your stuff. I suggest not trying the whole social media game.

The mere fact that people possess different qualities of memorization proves you wrong. A person may keep 90% of the previous day while another keeps 30%. That just one quality of talent. I'm not even that guy but I studied mathematics in university and that's the one subject where you can't deny that talent exists if you ever experienced it. There were people getting everything completely effortlessly and the topics were extremely complicated from any objective standpoint.

people think talent is the difference between being able to do something or not being able to when in reality it's the difference between being able to be the best in the world or just being average. if you picked up skateboarding you'll probably never be rodney mullen but you can get pretty decent, consistently improve and enjoy yourself

Those are good memes. A good meme is easy to create and edit, because it will spread faster. You could create the most beautiful and funny meme but no one will use it because it would take hours to photoshop it instead of minutes in microsoft paint. the only reason anyone hates frogposting is because they probably use reddit and faceberg and saw those memes on there. 4chan purists don't even pay attention to what other websites do. only cross site using redditors even give a single fuck about something that doesn't matter, not even one percent.

>Those are good memes. A good meme is easy to create and edit
This statement succintly summarizes the mentality of the cancer plaguing 4chan today, equating ease and speed for quality. It's ironic that you bring up comparisons to reddit, since you're acting exactly like a redditor would by valuing popularity and reach of memes over their quality. You and those like you are the reason why there is less high-effort OC here. Go Frogpost and wojakpost (two "memes" which aren't even native to 4chan) somewhere else.

Unless you are a literal retard, there is nothing funny about the thousandth derivation of pepe or wojak.

When did I talk about what memes reddit use? Read my post above again, I likened your mentality to reddit, with its voting system and lack of originality, someone doesn't have to use reddit to know it's a shithole.

A good meme by its very nature doesn't need to be edited, because a meme is supposed to convey information. Wojack is a template, not a meme. Pepe is an overused forced-meme that only caught on once people stopped getting v& for using it. Both wojack and pepe have been suffocating this site of all creativity since their inception due to them being easier to edit and repost than other memes, literally like what a virus or a cancer would do to a body.

If you're still at the "boxes and circles" level then you're probably an absolute beginner so it's no surprise that it's harder for you to spend more time drawing. Generally it's harder to do things that you're bad at.
Once you get to the point where you can draw decent-looking things from imagination, like say when you can draw simple faces and bodies, then you'll find it easier to draw for longer periods of time.
