Would it give you more time with your friends? If so yes. Treasure them like nothing else.

Are you stupid? You actually give that much worth to other people? There isn’t such a thing as ‘friends’, every single damn person on this world is a shitty, rotten, diseased animal that just gets in my way, you’re just like the rest of them. Sadly, I’ll have to go be a wage slave now so my ‘family’ doesn’t starve, but I realized that I’ll be surrounded by people there. I’ll befriend them easily, because I know how these bastards tick, but I’m really just playing everyone for the long con. I don’t understand idiots like you, and I hope I never will.

what's with all these faggot-tier demoralizing threads? OP losers trying to convince others to give up just like them. you only have yourself to blame.
For everyone else here who hasn't given up, you can make it, if you work hard.

It's quite simple. You see, if you want to take the blame off of yourself for failing something, the first step is setting the bar so high you'll never reach it. That way it was never your fault, because no matter how hard you try you will never be as good as the top 0.0001% asian artists. The second step is acting depressed and whining about how you'll never make it, endlessly wallow is self pity and reinforce the idea that it wasn't your fault.

1. Leave /ic/
2. Work on forming a habit of drawing multiple hours a day
3. Open to social media, become humble, explore more

You don’t know how much you can turn your life around with the right mindset

how do I know if I have talent
how do I know if I have asian discipline
how do I know if I have innate creative drive

Only reason I’m here is because I’m lonely and making friends isn’t an easy option for me at the moment, plus I don’t know any better place to talk and shitpost about art

Mix a little talent and neuroplasticity and you've got a wonderful combination

[Anonymous No.4855541]

Good news! You never will!
Talentfags try to prove innate talent exists by saying everyone is born differently. But if everyone is unequal, how can you tell if you're talented? You literally cannot compare yourself to anyone else, so all you can do is suffer. Suffer for talentfagging.

Put a bunch of children who've never drawn/been taught to draw in a room and tell them to draw. There will be some who's drawings are better than those of other kids. Talent is relative and it 100% exists. Dumb people deny the existence of talent/intelligence because they can't directly observe it like height or hair color for example.

>lost my friends in the pursuit of gains.
Agh, this is gonna sound harsh, but if you lost friends while perusing your goals, then they weren't really your friends to begin with. Of course sometimes you simply grow apart due to interests, that's part of growing up. But if your friends can't understand your passions and what that inclines and leaves you for it, really it was for the best.

Been there done that, and kept crawling back to everytime because deep down inside art is the greatest and most satisfying outlet I have. When I went without it I was contemplating suicide because without it my life truly lacked purpose. You may hate that you art is shit but the more I find myself drawing these days the more I realizing that if you're not grinding your fundamentals and testing those skills but drawing way outside of your comfort zone you've made it virtually impossible for yourself to GIT GUD

[Anonymous No.4856695]

I rolled through the sticky recently, that google docs thing which i guess is slightly better than the old sticky, but not by much.

There is still a lot of of stupid shit in there, and it needs to be split into a /beg/ sticky that's streamlined to get people to draw and self-correct their mistakes and level up. Keep it simple - pencil, paper, objects around the house, put next to window and draw. Then a second one that's more of an encyclopedia of books and other shit. Currently its just too much shit that doesn't have any good path, it's just "do whatever man". Fuck that noise.

Grow a pair, just draw, draw, and draw.
If it looks good to your eyes, then it's fine.
Chris-Chan literally draws some kiddy shit despite being in his late 30s, and he gives no shit about it at all, and do you know why? Because he's not insecure. Stop being an insecure artist, if some aspects of your art need to be improved, then improve them. But please, stop being so insecure.

Just take a break for a while. You won't get anywhere by stressing yourself out with "having to make it" and it only puts you in a negative headspace and that will just stunt your creativity and motivation. Maybe try to just draw for fun because you like it and I'm sure progress will come naturally.

You’d be happier if your end goal is to just draw for fun and improve for your own benefit, instead of social media points.

Yes, because people have different experiences and grow in different environments. But that doesnt determine whether that person is innately a better artist than you. Nor does it mean they have more potential or a higher skill cap than you.
Every art kid in school is going to draw more than the average normal kid. The average person does not have a sketchbook. If you just started drawing last year and this kid that's younger than you has been drawing for 10 years and took mentorships under pros, you've got to be an idiot to say they're just simply talented.
Someone improving faster than you is not a sign of talent either. It's a sign of them finding a better studying method. If you're on this board and still vehemently believe in talent after countless talent threads, you literally are using talent to cope. The next time you fail, you'll protect your ego by saying its your gene's fault, not yours.

how do I loosen my fingers
like my lines feel stiff and too angular; my circles just don't look natural or circular enough
tried drawing from the shoulders and they ended being too loose (probably because going too fast?) not sure how to precisely control it

[Anonymous No.4858769]

>stop being so insecure
This.
But it's mostly people who think they "have to make it" because drawing is their passion and all that shit and they want the big moneys and big fame like the e-celebs they suck up to.
They don't understand that it's fine to give up.
Not everyone makes it and not everyone should.

Chris-chan is not confident though, he's legit autistic.
