4 months I wasted on this dream and it's over, I'm not talented at all, this one anon on /beg/ posts his head drawings and we have been both drawing for the same period of time, he's so much better despite only drawing 30 minutes a day, that's the nature of talent, you either have it or you don't.

[Anonymous No.5034615]

you're giving up after 4 months? clearly you didn't want it that bad then. jfc it took most of the artists I follow at least 5 years before their work looked good. It's not a matter of talent. Hard work and lots of practice over time.

Getting good at anything takes years, not months. Yes, you can in theory get good enough to do commissions by spending 2 years drawing anime girls with spread legs. The catch is that is the only thing you will be able to do and you wont be very good at it (Need to invent a pose? Uh oh. Need to draw a man? oh no. Backgrounds? lol)

Its true tho. You dont have to force yourself to draw. Just keep in mind that all those artists you see on social media have put in an incredible amount of work to get where they are.

You are mentally weak and you don't have what is required in order to become an artist. Not only that, you have been spamming these garbage threads and posts which are a blatant sign of some mental illness.
My advice is to stop drawing, find another hobby that makes you happy, and visit a doctor that can help you with whatever issues you have. Or, you can just keep doing what you do and become the court jester of /ic/, and everyone will keep laughing at you. Your choice.

1.) Have you been saving every single picture you draw, no matter how bad it is, so you have some frame of reference on your improvement?

2.) What have you ACTUALLY been doing in those 4 months? Head anon focused on a single goal, which makes sense why he would improve. Are you focused on specific areas? Or are you just doodling and copying fanart hoping to get better?

"Just draw" is a meme, you need to actually study like it's school. Look up a body part, draw out the muscles and shape of it from different angles. Learn how different artists do the construction for it, replicate it. Then try to replicate it on your own. I guarantee if you haven't seen any improvement in four months, you haven't been doing these things.

Get over yourself!! Actually fucking focus on one book for four months instead of jumping to everything. If you jump around like that you're doing the equivalent of remaining low skill at all of the techniques you read about, instead of getting good at a single one. Maybe if you focused on one, you would see improvement, instead of now you can barely do anything because you spread out your effort and gave up quickly.

I think you have a severe case of whatever that mental issue is where no matter what you think you're shit and will never be happy with yourself. Those are unironically nice bird drawings, the line weight for the fur on the left one specifically pops out to me. I don't really understand how you could look at that, and consider yourself worse than like half of the people on fucking /asg/ making Deviantart tier stick figure uguu eye trash.

Nobody is going to fix your mental state, and right now you're honestly just venting and shitting up the board because you're not listening, and don't want to listen to what others tell you, you're already convinced in whatever you think about yourself because you're emotional and can't think straight right now. I would recommend to try and change the way you approach art. It sounds like you're like 95% of people that like the idea of being an artist, but don't like the work it would take and long period of shit in order to get there.

Drawing isn't supposed to be a grind to get better. It's supposed to be fun, slowly learning one thing after another.

I don't care if people are better than me because there is always someone better than someone else with less work put in, no matter what you do. Why do you even care? Are you a zoomer that's fallen prey to the social media plague where everyone's comparing themselves to someone else?

I literally give zero fucks about if someone is better than me in a month when I've been drawing for a year. Maybe they studied in a different way, maybe they had a technique click for them more easily, brains work differently. I don't understand people that get discouraged because of this simple fact. You do something because you personally enjoy doing it, not because you want to be arbitrarily better than other people at it. That's such a shit reason for wanting to do something and will never do anything but bring someone disappointment.

I'm focusing mostly on gesture drawing since it seems like a quick way to get used to drawing the body, since right now I need mileage and experience instead of trying to bust out masterpieces.

You just need to start actually applying yourself and learn with intent. I love when I make mistakes. I fucking love when people tell me something is shit. You know why? Because each critique and mistake, gets me that much closer to a "Hey, this actually looks good!" The more mistakes I make, the quicker I can look at them and find them and correct them.

[Anonymous No.5035011]

>>5034994
As I go I've been looking at different techniques since it seems like one will tend to make more sense to you than others. I started by watching Proko describe it, then tried a bunch, didn't really get anywhere.

Then I watched a few other randos on youtube talk about it and do it, and slowly I started to get a feel for how different people that are successful at it go about it. I attempted to mimic their movements. Seeing some progress.

Then I tried doing them in Pen. For some reason, finding them much easier to do in pen, I'm guessing because of the subconscious knowledge that there is no erasing, so you need to focus heavily on your line weight. Line weight makes all the difference between a good looking sketch and a bad one. Finally, I just recently looked at Proko's Bean method, and watched Vilppu do some. I'm understanding it more now, what with the bean combining with how Vilppu stresses how you're drawing forms, you're not drawing contours. That clicked a shit ton, because I was doing just that. I was trying to quickly draw the outline of the body. You're not drawing the outline, you're drawing the SHAPES. When you first look at that reference, try and see everything as shapes. You're not looking at a human, you're looking at a puzzle to fit together.

Just recently I've been watching some of Manga Materials channel, and she's fucking amazing for starting to learn anatomy. Thinking about the parts of the body that I seem to hesitate with when doing gestures, and trying to study those now. Like the neck/shoulder area, I seem to notice that I never really am confident at how to connect that part. So I'm studying the anatomy and the muscles there, so that now I'll hopefully more instinctively know how they should look.


It's this iterative "I don't know how to do this, so let me stop, study how to do this, then go back until I see something else wrong" process.

Gesture drawing is excellent if you're someone that wants to draw and practice, but doesn't always have the creativity to figure out WHAT to draw. With these quick 1 - 5 minute drawings, you don't even need to think about it, you just do it, and you're getting practice in without spending forever trying to look up a reference or figure out what you want to try.

Gesture drawing fills in the gaps when you're not feeling that inspired.

np also last tip that helped me a lot change my mindset to not get depressed and upset whenever I drew shit--again, I love when I do a bad drawing. Because each bad drawing gets me more exp until that really good drawing and that "OH SHIT I get it." moment. Just ignore that voice in your head telling you what you're drawing is shit. The gestures are going to look like putrid ass for a long time. That's fine, you're accumulating exp and you will absolutely start to get better if you just keep doing it, try out different techniques, read as much as you can and the combined knowledge should start to make a few things click for you.

I mentioned in the first post everything is referenced. I am not amazing or talented, I just focus on what I need to improve in and grind that single part until it clicks, then try moving on.

Also I am not creative at all and I realized that a major reason why I didn't progress at all besides the start of this year is because I would just not know what to doodle and without a strong idea of what I wanted to draw, I'd have no reference to see what I was doing wrong. Eventually of course I want to move on from referencing things but for now just doing what I still find both fun + helps to get exp.

I'm also 30 with a full time job and partner in a studio apartment. I am glad that I'm still able to make some gains like this, but I wish I got serious younger, I'm really just trying to make up for lost time at this point, that the shutdowns gave me.

I'm sure most of you are younger, mid 20s. Chill out, you have a shitload of time to improve and do what you want. That's all I wanted to really say since it sucks seeing someone thinking they can't do something because they're not where they want to be yet.

Anon, you have 10 years on me. I've been drawing on and off since I was a kid but only started trying to be serious about it this year. I wish I did so younger when I had more time to just dive into it, but thems the breaks I guess.

You're fucking young to already be giving up on something you've only spent 4 months on.

lol
I'm 24 and starting now.
I have a pretty similar attitude to yours. I feel like no matter how much work I put in anything, I'm still always going to be mediocre shit. I feel like I have to be good at something to get people to like me. I don't like having this mindset but its almost a fundamental part of me to think that I am inferior to everyone else.
The difference between us though is that I'm never going to stop. I'll keep doing whatever it is im doing because what else is there in life to cling to?
I've been playing league of legends for 10 years and I've pretty much never gotten better than when I started. Still play it to this day. Still get depressed over it and sadpost about it like you but I still play it.

You fucking dunce, life isn't about avoiding suffering. Try as you may, you can't avoid suffering, it will find you eventually.

I can't tell you what life is about, but in my opinion, its about giving your suffering meaning. Life is too damned short not to make the best of it.

I don't think I actually hate to draw, I just procrastinate a lot. The times when I really do sit down and draw and go through materials on fundies, I really do it. I think I just have poor discipline.

Thanks, anon. This is inspiring. I agree that it's all about the mindset and learning to compare yourself rather than other's progress, which is hardly helpful and just makes a person miserable for no good reason.
