The root of all of this is you dont want to make a bad drawing. Who gives a shit. Just. Fucking. Draw. If it turns out shit, then keep drawing. Being bad is the first step to not being so bad.

Okay I will get a lot of hate for this. What you really need is an AI. I was just like you and shifting to AI is what helped me clear that brain fog. AI appreciates my creative faculties and enables me to express my artistic expressions much more fluidly. It has a learning curve to it just like trad but once you get over that hurdle it gets way more rewarding than traditional art could ever be. Earning good money is a bonus too. Also no hate to my trad friends, still appreciate what you folks do so no hate from my side here.

You will never be a real artist. You have no skill, you have no knowledge of the essentials, you have no artstyle. You are a portfolio-less man twisted by laziness and software into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.
All the (You)'s you get are two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back anons mock you. Drawfags are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “fellow anons” laugh at your ghoulish multi-limbed generations behind 7 proxies
Artists are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of artwork have allowed men to sniff out ai frauds with incredible efficiency. Even generated pics that “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to the viewer. The eyes and mangled appendages are a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a coomer to commission you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a peak of the eldritch horror AI passes as a vagina.
You will never feel the satisfaction of drawing. You wrench out a fake smile with every soulless stolen picture you generate and tell yourself it’s your work, but deep inside you feel the truth creeping up like a deadline, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll delete the software, deactivate your socials, delete all of "your work", and plunge into the cold abyss that is pestering artfags for weird fetish art. Your anons won't remember your name but will relieved that they no longer have to live with ai spam. They’ll make a throwback thread talking about the dark era of ai and every anon for the rest of 4chan will know you were an imposter who couldn't draw. Your generations will 404 and go back to the archive, and all that will remain of your legacy is garbage that is unmistakably artificial.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

Anon, that's literally your job as an artist. Holy fucking shit. I'm starting to think that those "connect the dots" drawing books might be more suited for you if you need somebody to tell you LITERALLY where each next line goes. But you were able to draw a stick figure well enough, so you just do that for something else. Do a box. A cylinder. A pyramid. Then more complex shapes from there. Otherwise, you have no business being on /ic/ if you need this much handholding.

Expressed through the violent metamorphosis of mutating, ever fateful identities and thoughts, the poetry and mythology of Classical antiquity - its sense of tragedy and transformation – emerge invigorated and renewed. With a clear surface and rising sense of destabilized forms, the line of 54651.gif pulsates with a frenzied sensuality that reaches beyond allegory to the absolute itself.

It's a waste of time to compare yourself to strangers like that. Everyone progresses at a different pace. I just started art and I'm at stage 3. Does that mean I'm better than you? No. It just means we had different backgrounds before starting art.

Me, if I can't learn anything from bad art. If I just made a mistake, I just correct for that mistake. But if I keep making the mistake, it changes thing.

And it's just this loud screaming SEE YOU FUCKING FAGGOT ALL YOU DO IS MAKE BAD ART WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN TRYING FOR YOU FAIL AT EVERYTHING YOU'RE NOT SHANGHAI'D INTO YOU ONLY PASSED COLLEGE BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS THREW ENOUGH MONEY FOR YOU TO BARELY PASS AND YOU STILL HAD TO DROP YOUR MINOR YOU DID EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO FAIL AND YOU COULDN'T EVEN DO THAT YOU THINK YOU CAN DO ART FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU KILL YOURSELF KILL YOURSELF RIGHT NOW WOW YOU CAN'T EVEN DO THAT FUCK YOU FUCK YOU and that just goes on until I get stoned or drunk and involuntarily fall out of that mental state. I've tried coaxing myself out of it with meditation or medication, but I can't help myself out of this state.

I can't forgive myself for failure. That college shit happened ten years ago, I'm in my mid-30s and I can't DO anything. I get that's more of an /adv/ thing, as if they'd know how to help either, but it's what's going on up there. Self-hating brain goes ham on physical proof of bad art.

The only part of learning you're missing is stopping and reminding yourself to do the fix instead of making the mistake again. You're getting right to the finish line and then beating the shit out of yourself instead of crossing it. No fucking wonder you're depressed and full of self-loathing. You're all fucked up in the head because you've literally indoctrinated yourself into self-sabotage.

Turn that hatred in on itself if you have to. Don't hate you, hate the faggot in your head that won't shut the fuck up and let you start getting wins. Stop listening to it.

A sense of self importance is stopping you. You have too high of an expectation of yourself for your current level.
A drive to improve and make great art is good, but you haven't reached that level.

Every artist has early works from before they got good they cringe at.
^ Reread above
Every artist HAS (has drawn) works from before they got good they cringe at.
You'll never grow without experience, you need to learn how to fail. Drawing something poorly will always be better than never drawing at all.
You need to accept that your drawing may not come out how you wanted, or maybe not even close, because the truth is that you just aren't good yet. It's like you went to the gym and are bummed out that you can't skip all the low weights and start benching 300lb.

There's a reason perfectionism is considered a flaw. It's a paralyzing narcissism that YOU have to be PERFECT because it's YOU.

Who are you
Are you me?

I'm the gatekeeper of /ic/! always dispense good advice no matter what the trouble or cost, for you see, we were all young and naive once, lord knows I battled depression and just wish somebody said something nice to me, but now I understand what everyone in my early 20s was trying to say. You don't need kind words or motivation, what you need is a kick in the ass.

If you're a twenty something male, welcome to "that awkward period where all the girls your age start dating older men"

Nobody wants a naive young male. In fact, males are dispensable since you really only need one + ten women to repopulate the human race. Fun fact, on average, there are 105 males born for every 100 females. By age 20, that number goes down to 100 males for every 100 females. Why? Thanks to high testosterone, at least 5 males will have already offed themselves doing something stupid. Personally, at age 30, I have known, exactly 4 people who have died young before their time.
1 was a weightlifter who died of heroin, leaving behind a wife and child.
2 was a girl who died of diabetes, and heroin.
3 was my next door neighbor, a girl, fentanyl.
4 drank himself to Cirrhosis.

So yeah, do not spend your twenties seething and instead just chill some. fr. life is short, but it is also a marathon. Luck is preparation meeting opportunity, so by 30, a whole new generation of young girls will be looking to you for support, and you'll actually be able to appreciate and protect them instead of constantly breathing down their neck "SEX SEX SEX NOW" like every other 20 something in their lives.

you could do the easy thing, and lie. lie and end up like every "single" person past 30.
Trying to change for real is fucking awful and everybody will hate you for it.

There are schools that accept you regardless of skill, they’ll just pump you out without any skill. Hell, a lot of the good schools will do the same. The point of the art test is for schools with limited slots or a reputation to uphold that require a show of dedication to the craft, or at the upper levels of prestige, a show of competition to select a few hundred from a few thousand. Why take shit artists and try to grow them when you can take developed ones and get guaranteed results, still calling them your alumni and furthering your school’s reputation? Also quitters don’t pay all semesters of tuition. Honestly, why not filter given the choice? I don’t blame them.

Literally not a single thing. They’ve got a difference in presentation, on site mentors and peers for critique, structured lessons you have to sit through and homework you have to turn in, and access to projects, networking, and job fairs that you wouldn’t get without the school, but they can ultimately tell you nothing you wouldn’t find online. This isn’t a baseless guess, I’ve heard it said explicitly by Feng Zhu, Proko, Erik Olson, and Stan Marshall off the top of my head. They’ve all got their own take on why they then run schools and classes, but it ultimately comes down to assigned homework and networking. If you know how to get yourself working on art every day without someone telling you to and reach out in your communities, you have no reason to go into debt for a place like this.

The ai devil went down to /ic/
He was lookin' for a SOVL to steal
He was in a bind
'Cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal

When he came across this young anon
Grinding Loomis heads and drawin' it hot
And the ai devil jumped up on a blank canvas
And said, "anon, let me tell you what"

"I guess you didn't know it
But I'm a gmi artist too
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you

Now you draw a pretty good figure, boy
But give the ai devil his due
I'll bet a tablet of gold
Against your SOVL
'Cause I think I'm better than you."

The anon said, "my name's Vilppu
And it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been."

Vilppu, loosen up your wrist and draw your figure hard
'Cause Hell's broke loose in /ic/, and the ai devil deals the cards
And if you win, you get this shiny tablet made of gold
But if you lose, the ai devil gets your SOVL

The ai devil opened up his stable diffusion
And he said, "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he typed up his prompt

And he pulled the cursor across the screen
And it made an evil hiss
Then a band of ngmis joined in
And it sounded something like this

When the ai devil finished
Vilppu said, "well, you're pretty good, ol' son
But sit down in that general right there
And let me show you how it's done."

"Gesture Battle on the Mountain" run boys, run
The ai devil's in the /ic/ of the 4chan Sun
ngmi in a /beg/ pan FEEL THE FLOW
Followers, did i get some more? No, child, no

The ai devil bowed his head
Because he knew that his prompt been beat
And he laid that golden tablet
On the ground at Vilppu's feet

Vilppu said, "Ai Devil, just come on back
If you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you promptin' son of a bitch
I'm the best that's ever been."

Whoa there lad, be careful with that projection. I don't seek validation from the art community for anything or seethe about anyone's practice of it (unlike some trads it would seem) because I don't draw.
Before any half-assed rebuttal, one doesn't need to draw to be able to comment on the evolution of the medium, I'd even say it's quite the opposite. We have no horses in this race, we can afford to look neutrally at it.
But keep believing I'm one of those filthy AI fraud "artist" with no talent, surely straw-manning everything you don't like in life will help you grow as a person.

No, that anon is stupid. You don't do life drawing because you give a shit about realism, you do it because you train your observation skills, basic shapes, perspective, lighting, shading, etc. all at the same time just by grinding random shit you see.

Getting the same value out of copying anime girls takes way more work, and you'll just frustrate yourself later when you can make perfect copies but can't draw from imagination.

I don't understand your point. the comic isn't implying the bunny was a master, just that they have got something done.

Yeah, them and a million other Korean kids with Adderall prescriptions. Spending that much time on something isn't as impressive when it's literally designed to be a time sink.
I guarantee that there's significantly less people who can boast about putting that much effort in a creative endeavor like drawing or music. You put 10k hours into cabinet-making and I'm sure you'd be in the top 1% of your field

using A.I. is an admission of failure, yeah, it hurts deep to know you failed hard, I've been there, I agree, using A.I. is a good way to cope and can be therapeutic too, lets just be honest we failed
