Talent is real, but it isn’t everything. A person with average artistic ability and a good amount of dedication will be able to become better at art than 95+% of artists in the world. You will not be a famous master if you aren’t talented, but most talented people won’t either.

>> No.5251098

>>5250987
Talent is a shortcut to being a master, you can reach masterhood through the long route, but having a talent will make your progress easier to achieve. It doesn't mean that you need a talent to become master, it just makes it easier.
I don't think however that if talent is something you're born with, but more of something you grow to have.

>> No.5251117

>>5250987
It is, but talent really matters at the surface level and extreme depths of a subject. Talent matters when you’re starting out because it means you fly through the early stages of progress. Talent matters when you’ve achieved mastery, because to go beyond just “being really fucking good” into the realm of “being something genuinely special” it requires something unreachable.
Everything between those two extreme points - i.e. nearly all the art that actually gets done - is just putting in work.

yeah exactly, the twitter artist in the OP is naive because he doesn't realise he must have talent to go from stick figures to what he draws. There are a lot of people who dont make it out of /beg/ for years and eventually just give up that we never see precisely because only people with some talent make it

>> No.5251157

>>5251132
That's not even remotely what I was saying.
What I am saying is that people who never get better no matter how hard they try are as rare as the kinds of people who can draw well with minimal effort.
Most people fall in between. Applying yourself is 99% of art.
And as I said before there are levels of talent. For example, I had a roommate who never had it in his head that symbol drawing was a thing. He drew exactly what he saw without ever being told or taught to. However, he was fucking awful at lighting, shading, coloring, and other shit, until he trained and studied it.
Art is a very multifaceted thing, even when it comes to something like drawing. You have to know all kinds of shit: anatomy, geometry, perspective, construction to name a few, and sometimes your raw talent might only cover a couple of those fields.

I agree, but the point is, even the picture you've posted is physically pleasing to look at. The problem I have with Sycra is that his art makes me physically disgusted, like there is something fundamentally wrong with EVERYTHING almost as if his rotten soul is being funneled into his pieces and that's why it looks so disturbing.

This goes even beyond fucked up proportions, lighting, perspective and composition. It's something else and I just can't find a name for it.

Get it through your thick fucking head you fucking degenerate. Mastery of something is absolutely irrelevant to the critique. You can critique books without writing your own. You can critique movies without directing your own.

For the same reason you can critique art, especially when it's character design. Your brain is fucking supercomputer of face recognition and that's result of millions of years of evolution, then, once you're born your brain goes into fucking overdrive in regards to faces and bodies. The fact alone, that he CANNOT see, that there is something super fucked up with his drawings makes matters even worse. Because he is barely human or some husk without a soul without eye for beauty.

So, the /ic/ is bunch of inconsistent, self-absorbed retards that are never going to make it because they absolutely cannot handle even the slightest critique and always default into a defensive state asking for others to POST THEIR WORK otherwise you have no right crutiquing. Basically, they are projecting their insecurities into any legitimate critique to the point, they are willing to trash and call shit the very same artist they cluelessly defend as long as it's presumably work of a fellow /ic/ artlet because they themselves are talentless hacks.

Being successful in anything you need:
- Discipline to do it every day even when you don't want to, even when it's boring or difficult, even when you want to scream and bang your head against the wall.
- Self Awareness enough to recognise if you are progressing, stagnating or getting worse and taking the necessary measures to correct yourself be it study, emulation or outside critique. You also have to know when you are too comfortable and need to branch out into uncomfortable territory. Embrace failure in the name of growth.
- The initial reason or inspiration for why you even want to be successful at that thing. An experience, an emotion, a moment of logical clarity, a longing to discover something about yourself. Some kind of seed that stems from you and you alone. Something that will anchor you when you become so lost in the sea of bullshit life can create that you almost forget yourself. Maybe you realise you are living not for yourself, but for the expectations of others. In that moment you remember this core reason for being and you find yourself again.

One of the reasons they say "those who can't, teach."
If you know and understand what to do, but you can't or won't improve past a certain point, then the least you can do is teach those fundamentals.

/ic/ is more than one person. Criticism doesn't feel good or anything, but I can take it and dish it in equal measure. Anybody who says "ngmi" or other such nonconstructive bullshit in a serious tone can be safely ignored. They don't give a shit about improving themselves or others. That said I see a lot of actual constructive criticism pretty often.
The only correct part of this statement is that /ic/ is inconsistent. It's an anonymous image board. ALL of it is inconsistent and has a lot of different points of view and opinions. Even /pol/ is MASSIVELY more divisive than the news likes to tell you.

survivor bias has nothing to do with luck and your example is terribly incorrect because lotteries keep track of the number of entrants, so we objectively know the odds of losing are several million to one regardless of what winners tell us
OP is actually a good example of survivor bias because people who don't make it after grinding for 10 years obviously won't trumpet their failure on twatter or have a wide enough audience to be heard. it could be a thousand to one for all we know, and we can't know because failures don't get tallied

What an fucking unlikeable schozoid you are. First you chimp out over sycra in a hostile way, with obvious jealously against him. Then you chimp out against an anon who says he's likely better than you. Then you seethe again, saying others are shit art and your art is better than theirs. You get told to pyw. You don't, making it impossible to back up your claim. Then you post a badly drawn pic. But you pull a gotcha moment by revealing its taken from a sycra video and seethe about everyone's retarded and your not. You did all that stupid shit just to justify being a narcissistic assswipe and to avoid posting your goddamn work.

You will never be a quarter of a good as Sycra is. You won't try to be better, you can't do better, so instead you seethe and try to drag others down.

If you still won't PYW and finally back up your shittalking, then fuck off and die. Just another anon that contributes to the forever growing cancer that plagues this shithole.

No. Talent is real but what it is is being extremely observant without trying/realizing it. Understanding what something should look like because you’ve seen it before and you subconsciously know what it’s supposed to look like drawn. “The spark” is just being an extremely visual person but if you never nurture that trait you’ll still amount to nothing.

people misinterpret this mindset, you dont need to be able to do the exact same thing as what you are critiquing, but you need to (at the very least) have the same amount of knowledge about the topic as the person whose work you are picking apart
