Is being /fit/ and /ic/ the ultimate combo?
>build discipline through working out which increases my discipline for drawing
>use yourself as reference for learning muscle anatomy and proportions
>get double the serotonin by going to the gym and drawing within the same day.
>have zero health issues from drawing and sitting all day because you've strengthened the muscles and joints that'd be affected by it
I smile every time an /ic/ dyel cries about wrist, elbow and back pain while I draw for 10 hours on a 50-year-old wooden chair with the worst posture of all time without any problems. feeldgoodman.

yes but you need to have a 150+ iq to pull it off. 90% of people can't even get decent at one of the two.

It's the ultimate NGMI combo for sure. Aimlessly pumping iron for no real reason whatsoever is exactly the same as drawing Loomis heads in a void. Both fell for the trap of not meaningfully training for function.

sex is a waste of resources that could be distributed towards making art.

No musclebound gymcel has ever done a day of honest work in their lives nor are they able to. They'd gas out immediately with their comically deformed physiques. A spoiled peacock with zero athleticism, fake muscles, fake strength and fake ego is always just one embarrassment away from trooning out - If they manage evade to heart failure, that is.

No matter what else I succeed at, every time my confidence is bolstered enough to return to drawing I immediately hit the same brick wall I've been stuck at for my entire life and get nowhere.

Bros. A back injury has kept me from training and I have been too disappointed in myself to draw or train.
Today I got tired walking upstairs even though I could easily do it before with 100lbs of extra weight. Am I NGMI?

It's true.
People post like "why cant i sit down and draw? I hate everything i make and have no motivation."
then you find out that they have no jobs, sit inside all day, live with their parents, and play video games and jack off during any second of free time.

Bro your life just sucks ass and you're avoiding all of your problems, no shit you dont enjoy anything
