if i have been drawing for 10+ years and I still suck

[Anonymous No.6845532]

Should I give the fuck up or keep drawing assuming
>I have no followers/never received commissions for my shitty art
> I have studied all fundies,memes,draw bridgman two times over and over again with no avail
> No defined art style
>No anything
>Its just shit
> However I do it since I basically suck at virtually everything this world has to offer in terms of hobbies and jobs (including gayming) and drawing is "what I have some affinity with" in spite of me hating my own works
> I hate my drawings
>I hate myself
> I am a failure
> It's over and billions must suffer and die

Time doesn't matter, I've seen people who started drawing in 10 days make shit that has way more soul than I could ever imagine to make.

Art is like anime, some people are just born to be a side character and never make anything that has any substance to it, no matter how much "skill" you put in it.

The problem is you lack talent. We kept telling you but you refused to listen.

Of course.

That's not the point, what I'm trying to say is that there is something that cannot be obtained just through practicing. You can practice your rendering, sketching, gesture, everything to perfection, but still make shit that people will look for 5 sec and scroll past.

Some people can just open paint and make something that will captivate people.

It's just something I realized, but it doesn't matter at all because it's immutable. There is no crying over it, that's why we should just keep drawing even if our fate is to never make it.

You have a lot of skill points built up, you just need to start drawing without sticking to retarded rules and fundies. Copy anime you like and you'll see how your experience will carry you.

If it's been 10 years, you don't enjoy it and it's not your job, then yeah it's pretty safe to say it's not for you and try to move on to something else.

[Anonymous No.6845628]

>>6845532
If you struggle with everything and you've already been drawing for 10 years then keep going! You can always try other stuff on the side and see if that's where your hidden talent lies

[Anonymous No.6845630]

do you paint? do you specifically try to envision yourself as the artists you want to draw like and draw things they would?

if you're really serious about it then you know how much an artist can improve in just one month of focused work

If you want to learn to draw, then why do you not mimic what is being done in places where people pay to learn? In fine-art schools of the past in Europe, they had people to stand at the easels for hours every day. How can you expect to become good if you never practice?

Heck, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjSvaoeWgx8: at some point she explains that she had a neurosurgeon coming to study under her, and who said that the level of concentration required for drawing is on par to that required for neurosurgery, modulo the risk of killing someone.

How can you expect to achieve anything if you don't put any effort into it? Dude, you have to frigging work, not make 10min doodles. Start a 10k hours timer and get to work heavily, and with intelligence.

Sorry bro, you have to have taste in order to draw well. If this is what you want to draw in order to express your creativity, then no wonder you've stagnated. You can cultivate taste, though, so hope is not lost. You just have to gain an appreciation for masterful art.

proko kangaroo argument? as >>6846540 said, i doubt anything is out of reach - any goal is attainable as long given it depends on factors within your control (making it on twitter is not one such valid goal)

Since everyone on this site is self hating and depressed and I’ll give some not so hateful comment.

I studied and worked around artist and I assure you not every professional are as good as the one you see on internet. Especially beginners


You may never be as good as a talented person but it doesn’t mean you will always suck.
Most talented person I knew enjoyed the process more and thus practiced more which reinforces the cycle

Even very good artist can hate their art. If you wait for it to change it never will.

If your not that good hyper focus on one thing your good at drawing. Especially on the internet or for followers you don’t actually need to know everything about drawing
