I used to have a coworker who said your 20’s are the worst decade of your life. You are thrashing around, and don’t know who you are. She said your 30s are better because you’ve discovered who you want to be and what you want to do. But she said your 40s are the best decade of your life because you have achieved mastery of what you wanted to do. She was excited about her 50s because every decade kept getting better and better

tl;dr 25 is the perfect age to start since that entire decade is fuck all. I’m 33 now and she was definitely right

If I were in your position and asked this question, nothing in the thread would stop me from trying anyway. Why you asking anon? You already know some people are gonna say "no it's not too late", and others will be crabs saying "yes it's too late ya old man".

So the question is, wtf are you gonna do? Are you not going to try? Do you want to be a 35 year old with 10 years drawing experience, or do you want to be a 35 year old wishing you started drawing 10 years ago?

10 years of drawing experience will make you an amazing artist and you'll only be 35, still quite young and just getting started.

What a loser's way of thinking. Medical professionals and the like are learning the tough shit by their mid-20s and beyond, many people change career paths later in life. Some artist began in their elderly years of life. My cousin learned French in her 30s, speaks it pretty well "buT sheS nOt fluEnt"... ok then so she should have just never tried? Lmao. To say "you are not at peak levels of learning therefore it's going to be really hard" is very lame, but expected I suppose of most people to think this way lol.

I'm 25 and I'm doing reasonably well. Get some art classes, learning by yourself is horribly ineffective, and a good teacher will help your motivation. Drawing every day is a meme, and so is grinding in general; although, it's necessary to push yourself on a regular basis, and deliberate practice definitely helps. Just use your brain and don't grind just for the sake of it.

I just went to a local art school run by a decent artist, can't recommend you much since I'm not American.
What I can tell you is that you really need to enjoy your classes, which is a bit hard to do when you suck at art. So the most important thing when choosing classes is actually the teacher, and maybe the general attitude/atmosphere if you're having group classes. Like, I can struggle and legit hate my attempts at drawing an object, but my teacher is a pleasant gilf who's legitimately fun to be around, so it works out fine. Thus, it's best if you meet your future teacher in person before you decide to attend this particular school.
I'm sorry if it's obvious for you, in my experience this is something most people don't realize.

The example you’re replying to basically just did graphic design in an office after college at most though, and mentioned drawing kicking his ass because he didn’t know anything about it and assumed it’d just be the same thing. It is true a lot of those examples people cite already did art for a while, even if they were still /beg/ tier during the prior decade. Another example of “started from literally point zero in their 20s and got gud” is Hardesty, but he was at 22.

This. Later in life you learn to grow up and stop self-hating since chances are you've managed to do things that you originally doubted you could. So you end up having the ephiphany of "Hey, I can actually learn anything I want to if I just keep working at it. It's not a matter of if, but when." and you learn to be patient instead of raging every time you make a mistake.

You learn to look at mistakes with curiosity rather than anger. This attitude rarely develops when you're younger, since you need to go through that to learn how to "learn".

what you need is to make peace with the present and focus on improving your thought process, be more aware, use your brain to figure out the why's of things in life and in your profession...
You can't be a "good looking tall white guy" everythinge else is fixable, you can get good at drawing,or IT, you can get money , and friends eventually
But first you got to accept that this is your life now, and the time you lost is gone which is indeed hard. Hoes aint shit, if you just want to fuck just hookup but if not , you should know what you want...
I can't teach you how to do this ,only suggest a direction to go for.

Start working out ,as meme as it is , its a better and more stable high you can get than an orgasm from fapping to porn
Eat well, cut bread , sugar , at least minimize em
Sleep well if possible
These things wont magically cure your depression but will clear your mind and you will be able to more conscious...and start figuring out shit, just being lost in negative emotions are not worth it
You think you want these things, but no, you want to feel better, you want to get some kind of control over your life , you just don't want to suffer
godspeed

Lol. A precaution for those who want to base their life on some random graph (or on a "conceptual graph" as it states. Y axis measurement strength is how big it looks like). If you can't even track it to its first appearance maybe you shouldn't weight your life on it. Pat Levitt seems to be referenced as the author of the graph, most commonly "Levitt" or "Levitt, 2009" but there seems to be nothing on the internet clearly linking him to that picture, everything is a repost, besides, "Levitt 2009" is a really bad reference.

He has one work he contributed to from 2009 that sounds like the graph could be there "From External Regulation to Self-Regulation: Early Parenting Precursors of Young Children’s Executive Functioning" (4 mentions of plasticity). There is no graph, I also checked his work from 2010 "How the Timing and Quality of Early Experiences Influence the Development of Brain Architecture" (27 mentions of plasticity), still, no graph.

In titles of his works you can find following: aging - 1 match, plasticity - 7 matches, wow, autism - 55 matches (maybe anon will find better use for Levitt's work). As for other fun facts about Levitt, his research is focused on pediatrics and he, amongst other places, works at Keck School (based) of Medicine of USC.

I was too lazy to look at journals to track mention of "197" in citation. I'm not saying that the graph is fake, or neuroplasticity isn't significant factor in learning process, but, chances are, if you are reading this you don't know shit about neuroplasticity (definetly not as much as Dr. Levitt of Kek school), me included, and you don't even know what this graph was made for (Levitt - pediatrics? maybe some presentation about importance of early brain development in children?)

>But be warned that you will be fighting an uphill battle against cognitive decline for the rest of your life.
Add health decline as well. Since life is a roguelike it only makes sense that there is some difficulty scaling.

Tbh, no one cares about my shitty story, but the point is: Its a perfectly fine age to start. Your brain is developed enough to actually grasp the underlying concepts and structures of drawing/ painting stuff, so you´ll make much faster gains then some 15 year old that "drew since he was 4, lol." Just,draw, learn, post you work. Come back in 5 months and post progress.

25 isn't too late if you've been drawing SOMETHING since you were young and stuck with it, even if it wasn't remotely good
Doesn't matter if you've drawn nothing but shitty symbol art with no understanding of fundamentals, you've gained a feeling of how the pencil moves (since we're talking about drawing), you've gained the ability to put your mind to paper, and all kinds of other subtle stuff that takes years to refine; like I said, you don't have to have been good at all, just that you need to have done it for making a foundation for future learning
If you haven't drawn since you were 7 and suddenly wanna start now at 25, you're NGMI; if you've been doodling in every one of your notebooks throughout grade school and uni, you're GMI

Don't worry about this. Art improvement is not linear. Some artists get better faster than others and I have seen many make all their gains early on and then stagnate while new artists surpass them.

Time in the game isn't everything.

What makes an artist great is their visual library. I see a lot of young artist drawing very good but generic trash. I wish I started at 25, but I didn't . That being said asking a board of retards if it's a good idea to do a thing you should love speaks volumes about your mindset - you are a fucking retard yourself

[Anonymous No.4861998]

people need to stop thinking about age and time matters for getting good
you can be drawing for 10 years but still draw chicken scratch
you can be drawing alone for 10 years but frustrated with not improving because you never studied or learned how to studied
