How difficult would it be for a sperg in his 20s to pick up painting as a hobby? I was always abysmal at drawing with a pen/pencil/what have you, but recently i've had a gut feeling calling me towards this art form. I know that "being good at painting" is more arbitrary than, say, being good at making music, but there are fundamentals and rites of passage im sure. What I don't know is how steep it is, and perhaps more importantly, how expensive it is to consistently secure the logistics of the whole ordeal. Ideally, I'd love to make something like pic related, but it might be out of my league at this point.
Are there any painter bros here that can offer insight?
