How do I deal with the fact that I'm legitimately too retarded to be an artist? I'm just sitting here forced to watch as everyone improves and I can't even start.

stop coping and just draw. I've had a brain injury and I fucking draw. it's hard. if it's too hard, get some Adderall or whatever. and don't hate yourself for being shit, it's part of the process

Then I might as well not be interested in anything because I can't do anything. I tried learning SFM as a teen and quit immediately, same with Gamemaker. And this is what it's like for literally everything I try doing. I legitimately can't get the motivation or energy to play video games anymore.

Are you the same emotional vampire that cried about his ADHD for a month?
If not (hopefully), there's no magic secret anyone can tell you. You have to seek specific knowledge out and you definitely have to do work to the best of your ability. People shit on "just draw", but how are you supposed to learn any skill without commiting to repetition. You don't become a great cook by reading recipes all day.

When I draw, I second guess myself at every step, I legitimately have no idea what I'm doing right or wrong, I have no idea how to draw anything beyond what the references on the page give me, I can't draw for myself, I can't think of anything creative. The same applies to me writing too, but the point is that art just looks too fucking complex for me and I'm trying to learn it anyway. My brain can't even let me comprehend something as basic as perspective.

Find some one bigger than you with great taste in art, and have him be your live in editor/trainer. Anytime you get off track or make a mistake he will get you back on track or correct that mistake. He has to be physically larger than you so you take him seriously, considering how bad your dedication is. It really works.

I got better by changing my way of thinking. Instead of trying to draw I tried to move my wrist, arm and shoulder correctly so that I could produce all sorts of lines without effort. Instead of trying to create a picture I tried to concentrate on the pure mechanical aspect and it worked because in the end, drawing IS just the mechanical aspects.

Iktf except i do actually do art, for my video game. It looks very amateurish and im probaboy gonna flop. Its very demoralizing see the droves of new gamedevs, many seemingly with high levels of art talent and decent coding ability. Where did all these people come from and why are they so much betterat it then me? Feels like my game is ngmi. Semi scared about posting it because Im sure the art will be mocked

Literally anybody can be an artist. Just create some crazy stuff man. You don't have to be drawing anatomically correct humans to be ann artist. You can create some abstract crazy things, or build some weird contraptions or whatever. Just be creative, be free in your mind and stop thinking so much :)
