Talent. Sadly. Exists.

[Anonymous No.4489166]

Hear this from someone who was born with an extraordinary talent. Written language has been excessively easy for me. When I was 11 I was already writing my first complete novels. By the time I was 15 teachers at school would call my writings "post-graduate level". I always watched, with sadist delight, how everyone else struggled at learning new languages or being able to organize their thoughts to summarize in papers. Very few people out there can read as fast as I can. During my youth this made me falsely believe that I was also gifted in other areas. It was a great punch to my ego to find out that writing is the only extraordinary thing I can do. Now that I am learning to draw, I feel what most people feel when reading or writing. My brain simply can't twirl and fly with ecstasy-inducing sequences as it does when writing. When I draw I feel like a mentally retarded individual trying to understand quantum physics. And God placed me in a world in where stories and novels have so little demand in comparison to artwork and other forms of visual arts. When confronting the learning process of artwork, I can't but feel small and insignificant. At times I even feel I do worse than the average person. I live on, knowing that even after I reach my peak, it won't be as high as the peak of a natural born painter. Life is a miserable joke.

The first paragraph of a random story of mine:

"Within the solitude of a longer night, brought by the quietness of brimming times, you place your hand onto the light door. A ride out, a turning of olden mechanisms renewed in lustered metal, wood goes apart by the action of your fingernails around the knob. But less than the buzzing nightlamps, it is an unexpected shadow which gets cast above you. Lasting longer than the short-lived flight of a nightbird, it is the pattern of half moons and branched ends which incites your imagination to think of her. Her."

I'd expect even the low-effort writing of a good writer would be better than your OP.

Source: I'm a good writer and my low-effort writing is better than that.

I'm not trying to shit on you just for the sake of shitting on you. I've got a 155IQ and I'm pretty good at a lot of things, so I've got experience at this - take it from me: never, ever tell anyone that you're better than them at ANYTHING. It never disposes people well to you.

Accept compliments (with humility) and don't demure, but never brag. The only exception is if you're deliberately trying to be condescending, in which case brag away. It fucking infuriates people.

The best advice I can give is not "le just draw" it's actually enjoy yourself while drawing, not even that really, people think the masters have this intense euphoria and passion while making their masterpieces, that's bullshit, they're just calm, in a state of serenity, not really having "fun" really, just very entertained by what they're doing

It fucking doesn't. I'm supposed to have talent in languages, which is why I'm here right now despite being a slav who has never even visited an English-speaking country. But I don't fucking have talent, I just enjoy learning languages, and when you enjoy something, you study it effortlessly. And that's what I did in school, while some other kids spent their time drawing, or playing music or whatever.
There is no talent, there's just passion, and sometimes your social background (for example, it's easier to become an artist when your parents are both artists). Everything else is just pure hard work that you might or might not enjoy.

[Anonymous No.4489411]

>>4489404
I disagree. Because writing and reading was always excessively easy to me, something I do effortlessly, as opposed to drawing that requires my undivided attention and energy. Writing never needed my attention or energy. English isn't my native language either. If I had the same talent for drawing than I have for writing I'd easily have thousands of patreons by now.

"Loomis method" is basically teaching you construction and draftsmanship, how to break something down into simple shapes in perspective and then build from that. That's how all art is done, including furry, dumbass. You legitimately do not know what you're talking about if you think the fundamentals are different just because you're drawing anthropomorphic creatures instead of humans.

The reason the bar is lower for furry art is because the community is so niche that they're willing to accept a lower standards.

>The frustration comes in the shape of not being able to do things naturally and be as creative as I would be with writing when I am drawing.
Are you comparing your work to the absolute cream of the crop artists out there? If so, stop, they got to that level because they spent way more time than most people think perfecting their craft and they did it calmly because they enjoy what they do, discarding all their work as just "talent" is actually disrespecful as fuck imho

>but writing is just so fucking boring, and nobody respects it.
And drawing is frustrating to you, if you want to achieve the level you'd like at drawing, you'll encounter many obstacles that will be "boring" to pass through, not a single human activity will be devoid of occasional boredom

By the way, what art style are you practicing? Realism? Anime? Other?
There's a LOT of people that don't respect anything other than realism in the visual arts

You are deluded because english is not your primary language. Trust me, mine's portuguese. Everything I say in english sounds like something Shakespeare himself would write. This is bullshit, of course. The delusion is fueled by your competence on a new language. Which is nice in and of itself, but doesn't make you the next Bukowski... writing is not only knowing lots of different words. It's tougher than you think. Well I don't know either, so we're in the same grounds here.

I thought that I was good, today I know that I'm absolute shit! Yeah, I could write some nice poems and short stories here and there, but there were people out there who were spetacularly better! I'm only 15% of what I thought I was... which doesn't mean you can't get better. I just chose drawing at that point. Now I'm humbled that I actually SUCK ASS at something and can FINALLY empathize with people having trouble on activities I found easy. Think about this shit...

Talent exists as a separate concept to yours, OP. It derives from intelligence in specific fields of abstraction and some people will always be better than you. That's how it's worked millennia ago and still the way it works now. However, the regiment of your work ethic decides how far you can allow your intelligence to aide you. You can be a genius and have no discipline, meaning you have no drive, and you have no real passions. You doom yourself when you won't grow a sharp trained mind towards personal achievement. Even further, success=/=talent. Success grows more from smarter work, not just harder work. You can have a disciplined routine and never grow in five years. Tackling your weak areas with revised strategies will help you become a better artist, making sure that there is always room for improvement. But really what I'm trying to say is talent means nothing without the drive and at the very least moderate intelligence to push you through these intense struggles that almost all artists go through. If you can't hack it you need to get a job and stop trying to be something you're not. I'm not saying artistry is a superior form of work but it most certainly isn't for everyone. The point here being that being non-average, the outlier, the unique one isn't just a flawless decision. It's dedication and revolution.
