Has anyone else realized how demotivated they've become after becoming a regular on /ic/?

While /ic/ has provided unparalleled access to art resources, I cant help but not want to draw anymore because of all the negativity on this site.

What helped me was using cold turkey. It basically blocked me from browsing /ic/ and forced me to git gud. Also balance the negativity of /ic/ with the delusional fanboys of discord

If anything this place should motivate you to prove all these faggots wrong and watch them seethe in butthurt. There is nothing quite like a jelly fag coping at the thought of you making art gains.

The trick is to allocate time to come here on your agenda. You don't come here except during that allocated time. Because of your time being limited, you'll go to the ressources and helpful threads and ignore the shitposting. Also, drink water everyday.

I only come here when I need help with a picture or two, usually get helpful critique, and then stick around until I realize I'm just wasting time and leave again. This is around that point!

Good advice.

Ignore /ic/ and use the /ic/ archive, search up megas and keywords for what you need help with.

unrealistic expectations and absurd standards are the reason why everyone is suicidal

this
I've never been so motivated to draw.

OP just take the good advice and ignore and laugh at everyone else acting like a crab.
Also don't bother showing your work here if you have such a low esteem. Find someone way better than you that can redline shit for you, reach out on artists that you admire and talk to them about your journey, they'll probably help you out.

We're all going to make it.

/ic/ has a completely opposite effect on me, looking through the art posted here gives me inspiration and motivates me to actually start drawing.
>Also It gave me a clear goal. I want to be good enough to post my work when somebody asks me to then make fun of that stupid faggot.

at least people discuss and show art here.
/g/, /pol/ etc are just terrible.
the tech forum is gentoo and stallman threads.
/pol/ is bbc, and drumpf threads

be happy this place is actually on topic.

Just shitpost here and apply your shitposts to your work. I find writing down my shitty ideas about art motivates me to test them out.

lol im not a regular and i'm still unmotivated
i kinda check this place out once every few months

I'm only on here right now because I've got de Quervain's in my dominant wrist. I hardly use my phone and I'm not a gamer, so my motivation was pretty bad at the moment anyway. Constant pain does that. /ic/ is terrible for negativity though.
