Giving up on art was one of the best things I've done so far
If you don't have the talent then just reconsider it, I don't give a shit if you want to or not, I tried to be an artist for 4 months and only giving up gave me peace, I just don't have the talent

[Anonymous No.5051246]

I’ll never give up on art and I love drawing hi again op please join us in /beg/

[Anonymous No.5051249]

No more courses, no more drawing, no more pain, no more doing over and over, no more books or criticism, I've been so happy not drawing at all, not thinking about drawing or talent.

Giving up on art made me realize just how hopeless I was, the untalented, people like me, they'll never achieve anything so why even try, just pass the time, do whatever you want or not, there's no point to it, I was never competition.

Giving up was the right thing to do, FREE
FREE from the illusion of competition, from lofty desires and aspirations, I can assure you that had I been better than this at the end of my 4 months of practice then yes I was meant to be an artist but since that wasn't what happened, I just don't have the talent.

Mm, but that would in assumption that everyone has the same outlook to art as you, no? If you care about being good in art, perhaps it is better to give up. But being good is only a means to an end to most who get far in art. If being good in itself is the end, then plenty of others younger and more talented and more dedicated will always beat you. The idea of good, in the sense of skill, can only exist when there are several individual to compare. But not everyone's end goal is to simply be good. Many draw to bring to life what they imagine; no matter how talented or good someone else may be, only the person themselves can truly bring to life what they envision. Others simply enjoy drawing, piecing together forms to create objects, objects together to create scenes; and enjoy it like you would a puzzle. Some do it because they have things they want to say to the world, and academic essays on philosophy weren't an appealing alternative. Whatever it may be, if people like such wish to achieve their goal, then whether others are better or not are of absolutely no consequence. Being good, however, does require caring about others. What 'good' is will always depend on how skilled others are, after all. If you simply wanted to be good, then yes, it is better to give up. But, if you ever end up finding a reason beyond that, where being good simply becomes a means, then you can always return to art. And it's important to remember that this reason can be as vague as a strong feeling or desire of whatever kind. Regardless of what you may choose to do schizo, godspeed.

You're 19 schizo, you don't have things to say yet. Live a little longer, art can be delved into at any age. And you're still harping on about talent. A person can have multiple goals; so it might very well be true you did want to express things, but you also think being good is a goal in itself as well. You do not treat being good as a means. Which is to say, yes, give up. Not because of talent, but because of your outlook. That 10 day progress is disingenuous as well, it's literally a rough sketch compared with a clean sketch. They're two different things. He was likely drawing longer than you have before that supposed 'day 1' and is just chasing clout. Regardless, I'm saying all this in sincerity as your rantings in the /beg/ thread for the past many months eventually grew onto me. I've said everything I wanted to say, the rest is whether you wish to take the time to consider what it actually means yourself. I don't think I'll be replying to you again ever, godspeed.

hey buddy, did you actually draw for fun even once, or is it just to become popular on 4chan and twitter? with such shallow goals it's no wonder you give up so easily. i've been drawing for 8 years and i suck, but it's still so fun.

[Anonymous No.5051469]

This thread makes me feel better in a weird way. I've been taking art seriously for about three years. I've made a lot of progress, but I'm older and I still feel like I have a really really long way to go. I've been a little down in the dumps about how slow my progress is, and I'm not at a point where I can make my goal art yet. But seeing 4 month schizo's posts make me feel a lot more proud of the progress I've made and the fact that I've stuck through it when it's hard and I have no confidence in my ability. I know I'm not the shittest, slowest learner noe. 4 month foamy is

[Anonymous No.5051530]

>>5051518
Those other replies weren't me. Well I didn't even start doing portraits until about a year ago. And I've only been painting digitally for a couple months. Before that I just used gouache or ink or pencil. Still getting the hang of rendering digitally. I know I'm not the fastest, that's kind of the point I was making. I'm not treating this like a race. I'd like to improve more quickly, but I know I'll get there eventually if I keep working like I have been.

BTW I have sold paintings and I even had 3 paintings in a gallery show the first year I started. I'm still not where I want to be, but I'm not going to give up just because my track is slower than a lot of other people's. I don't care how or what other people do, I just care how I do.

Is that your only metric for success? I'd be happy if I could make the art I want to be able to, and it'd be nice to make a bit of a living off of it. I don't care if I don't end up in the art history text books. Maybe that's your problem. Your goals are entirely unlikely. You're like someone who buys a lottery ticket and is mad when they aren't rich as a result. You can't rely on the luck of being born talented. But you can rely on your own hard work and dedication. It's the only thing you have power over.

Dude, 4 months is nothing. Why are you so hung up on how long its taken you? I'm sorry I was a dick too, but at least I didn't start a new thread about you art just to mock it. I was trying to motivate you the way I was motivated when I started out. People doubted my ability to get good at art, and I used the energy I got from trying to prove them wrong to keep me on track. When I'm down in the dumps about my ability I refuse to give up because I want to prove them wrong. It's not my main motivation, but it sure as hell has helped me push through plateaus and rough patches.

Looks like this board is toxic for your morale. Forget about other people and progress at your own pace. Eventually, you will awaken your latent potential. I know this because the same happened to me on another skill.
It's okay, this isn't a competition.

[Anonymous No.5051637]

You put more value into "makin' it", instead of drawing and improving the skill.
The recognition and relevant part ("making it") will follow.

In fields like this you have to hoan your skill over money, since money will control your path.

Suffering for the things you like is worth it.
4 month in and crying about it, is not suffering, but rather it is your impatience and your ego, which can't accept, why your work isn't paying off.

Don't compare yourself to other people. Compare yourself today to yourself before. It's the only way to actually judge your progress without driving yourself crazy. And really don't get hung up on 4 months of practice. You don't know when it will start to click for you, you don't know what will trigger your progress. But if you keep going, you will get better. And when it starts to click it will be enjoyable. Then you won't need as much of a reason to keep going. You'll just want to sit down and create art
