If you hate it because you're bad at it, that's normal and there's nothing wrong with that. Sucking at things... sucks.

If you actually just don't like the process at all, you're in for a bumpy ride.

If you hate drawing itself then fuck off. I already spent 36 hours on a piece, just yesterday I was talking to a friend about how this isn't driving me crazy just because I enjoy drawing, but if someone was in a position where they hated this and still had to do it... I don't know,they'd better quit and go flip burgers, it'd be more enjoyable than polishing a base drawing you know you got in the first hour of these past 3 days

I'm with you, I love when I finish a piece and it's done and I can look at it and go "I made that", but I hate the process. I'm trash and haven't been drawing for that long though so that might be part of it. But anyways I'm a masochist so I keep doing it. I'm probably very much in the minority on /ic/.

Only after 1.5 years of "grinding" (im lazy fuck slacking around) i started to enjoy drawing, i mean the process itself and im fucking happy, so much that i lose focus and never finish anything so i cant just pmw, except for some retarded pieces for /aco/ drawthreads, now i just question myself why i even started, if i would know how much trouble and pain i need to go through i would never started

I have this retarded thing with me that I enjoy idea of drawing but when it comes to actually drawing I want to cut my hands off because of the amount of effort you have to put into it.

It's natural to hate things you're bad at. As you get better at something, you usually like it more. Desires are malleable. I used to hate driving when I first started learning for example, but now I go on long drives just for fun.
Just keep drawing.

In the end it's just work like everything else. You just sit there and make lines.

WHY
I have to ask you and everyone else on this board who is 20+ and literally never drew during their entire child hood
WHY do you want to draw when you hate it??
What in the world do you think being good at drawing is going to BRING you??

idiot. Nobody gives a fuck if you can draw. They give a fuck for about five seconds in a polite way and then they instantly forget about it because guess what, drawing doesn't serve them. IT does almost nothing for the people around you, your family and friends. the only people who genuinely care about your drawing skills are those who are going to hire you to draw for them, and if you can't draw for yourself how the hell do you think you're going to do it for someone else?
oh, and if you do so choose to go down this path, grinding away for years just wait for the day when you can finally start supproting yourself as an artist and just soak in the..

honestly a lot of it boils down to the artist in question looking like they were having fun and making a mess but still being satisfied with it, its perfectly imperfect. the issue comes in that im too critical about my own drawings to let myself just make whatever, like they seem to, without judging it for being wrong in some way.

Not the same anon but if you don't enjoy the process then just stop and try something else. Maybe you have to do things a different way. Or maybe drawing isn't for you which is completely fine. There's so many things in life you can do and you'll know if you like it if you consistently enjoy the process. Don't feel bad about it because most people are stuck in careers they don't care for and take ages to find what clicks for them.

You can't force yourself to like something just like how you can't force yourself to fall in love with someone. Just keep that in mind.

That's all you need. If you really want to be good at drawing you'll learn to like drawing, you'll learn to enjoy getting progressively better. The first step in starting a new hobby/practice/skill is liking it, you can suck at first but If you really want to get good at drawing you'll come around.

That's bullshit. I love art, and I also love my own style. But in the end, drawing is also just work. You need a lot of motivation and discipline to do this daily for hours. And this requires to be happy and satisfied with your life too. If you are constantly depressed it will become much harder to find motivation.

Of course, but this also requires that you are able to focus on it in the first place.
I think living a happy and fullfilling life, ie not being depressed, is much more important than most people think.

Getting a GF for example is also very important to keep being motivated. otherwise you easily fall into depression sooner or later. Same goes for living in a more or less "healthy" society. I for example live in a country where I couldn't even publish any of the stuff I want to draw, simply because thought police is rampant here. This all also has a heavy impact on your productivity.

>> No.3996347

>>3996331
But actually getting off your arse and doing something, anything, that brings a feeling of self improvement is exactly what drives depression away. If seriously think getting a girlfriend will make you better at art, fuck, at anything, you'll have a bad time in life, bucko. Publish your stuff somewhere else then, it's not like you're landlocked in the internet, use a vpn if you're that afraid, use a handle in another language, I've drawn guro and necrophilia but nobody knows It was me that drew it.

You obviously don't understand how depression works. It's a cycle.
>get depressed ---> don't feel like doing something ---> get even more depressed because you didn't do something
And this only becomes worse and worse to a point where many people can't get out of this anymore without real help.

>> No.3996353

>>3996350
I've been depressed before, but I managed to escape the ditch by putting effort into creating a mindset that does whatever it takes to drive the creeping depression away. Learn to play an instrument, play some vidya, draw degenerate shit, buy a fucking onahole and fuck that thing like it's your waifu, lift some weights. Yeah it might suck at first but after you see some improvement you'll want to keep going. I know it's bait by the way.

There are two possible reasons for this :

1) You've seen these egirls artwhores online giving pussy to internet video game fags artists and since you're very lonely, you think that maybe by becoming a great artist yourself you'll get friends, attention, and ewhores, but drawing has never really been a natural interest for you.
