Why is art so hard bros?

[Anonymous No.4477850]

I quit video games since yesterday so i can have more time towards art and learning it but it feels so boring. Realizing you're so shitty for so long and trying to get better but the process of getting better is boring as shit.

Maybe it's because i'm either autistic or have the mind of some phone addicted teenager or some shit but reading books and watching video courses is grueling. It hurts so much to know you're also shit at easy excercises as well.
I can't fucking quit art i wanna get better but this process is so demotivating.

How do i make it fun and associate art with a positive feeling so i can love art again?

Do i need to wait for a full week so i can become addicted to art since i quit videogames?

I've always been good at art. You are just a talentless hack.

Watch this video.
Draw small, simple objects in the real world to get the ball rolling.
Rocks, plants, trees. Simple insects and earthen homes with easy geometry. Dont just leap into a complex subject if youre not comfortable with drawing yet.
I followed FZD's advice after about a decade of "quitting" art, and after a few months, I made it to a place where I can focus on learning without anxiety or too much boredom.
Tbh, if youre just starting out, you should only be drawing for 1hr and 30 minutes max.

Stop doing things fo instant gratification.

This problem is deeper than your art.

Here's what got me improving: just fucking draw. Don't worry so much about the end product, just put your pen to the paper, move your hand, and keep going.

Try new things. If it doesn't turn out, laugh about it and then try again, or try something different until you can reliably do what you sought out to do, or at least until you're at least kind of pleased with what you've made.

Then try something new again.

If you hate doing this, then do something you don't hate.

Thanks anons i watched the video and realized i've been doing everything wrong starting off with drawing bodies and nothing else first. Those rocks and dead trees look fun to draw desu. I'll start tomorrow with some dynamic sketching it's late and i need sleep.

>pyw

I'm nothing but a mere lurking /beg/ that really never draws full pictures because i feel like i'm not "ready" for that yet.

Actually no fuck that lemme try and draw at least something that's not a study.
Hang on imma take an hour on a stick figure.

Okay it's late af and it looks /beg/ af because i drew from imagination, but this was actually fun to draw. This was supposed to be a warm up to a bigger drawing but i just said fuck it and finished it.

[Anonymous No.4479483]

Art is a difficult thing, its a matter of inspiration and motivation is when you will ascend past your current limit. you need to digest life and other peoples works, try to figure out how or why they did something a certain way in there art work.

I often look at artist and like to nitpick things i do, like what brushes they use, is it a gradient. how did they color this.

Once you start to nitpick stuff and pull it apart it becomes a lot easier to put it into your art.

Also quick tip, you should be more confident in your lines when you draw, it looks better

[Anonymous No.4479874]

>>4477850
At least if youre gonna rant about your shitty art, post your work or anything

[Anonymous No.4480069]

>>4479483
Thanks anon. I'll practice more line work excercises and will try to be more confident in my lines. I think i actually feel myself get better when i draw somethinf that isn't a study. As i was drawing i was nitpicking the horn and redrew it about 4 times so i'll incorperate that in my other drawings as well.

That's not a problem, everyone is a /beg/ at some point.
>this was actually fun to draw
That's good!
>I just said fuck it and finished it
Good attitude, but, I would call this a sketch, not finished. Maybe next time you can try coloring something. And don't be afraid to redraw parts that you're not happy with.

Art needs to primarily be about creating shit you want to create and not about improving at art. If it's just about improving then you are going to have a really bad time, speaking from experience.

I know this sounds pathetic but I'm in the same boat I just can't sit through tutorials or books.

What is the best paced course for me? I'm a beginner

I don't have enough smug anime girls to express my contempt. Sorry, anon, but I can't take anything you wrote after this seriously.

[Anonymous No.4481176]

Maybe you can draw something you like, for example a kitten or an icecream cone.

[Anonymous No.4481602]

>>4480717
I'm not good at coloring yet but i'll start trying it this month. Thanks for suggestion anon

>>4481132
Yeah i'm opening up to that mindset alot. Art is actually fun to me again.

Just draw anon. Another anon somewhere around here also said that jumping into books and courses without a clear goal in mind on what you want to improve at makes stuff boring for you. Just draw, realise you need to improve on something, get a book/video anything on it, then apply it to your drawing. I'm starting on Peter Han's Dynamic bible since drawing bodies is complex for a beg like me.

>>4481163
Lol that's fine. But seriously, it's day 3 of me quiting videogames and i haven't thought about them until you said it at all. I depended on them because i wanted to improve at art instantly and needed the instant gratification since i couldn't get that from art and associated art with a bad feeling since it wasn't fun for me.
Now art is actually fun thanks to other not only helpful anon's replies, but other threads about how people are improving fast in 3 years and that's inspiring to me. I realized you can have fun at art and still improve fast. Let go of your fear and worries and just draw something fun and ez man.

Now if you excuse me i need to draw dead trees lmao.

Also please let this thread die i got my questions answered.
