Drawing. I can draw 100x better than I can do math or program. Even though it's something that I enjoy, I could never bring myself to make it a job (assuming you can get a job with art lel). I frequently get mistaken for an art student and it makes me sad

Honestly this is the worst advice ever and is why no one on /ic/ ever improves. The only way to learn drawing is from the ground up. That means drawing complete compositions utilizing only basic forms and still lifes of simple objects with an emphasis on gesture and negative space IN TRADITIONAL MEDIA. This is how every master learned how to draw since the 16th century.

Anatomy and figure drawing are not fundamental skills, and I have no idea why /ic/ decided to isolate those as the most important elements of drawing (actually I do: weebism). People on /ic/ pick the most complex subject for a composition and proceed to draw decontextualized motionless corpses for hours on end every day without understanding why they're failing miserably because the only criticism available on /ic/ is "you're bad at figure drawing, draw more figures." Loomis can't help people who can't freehand a cube or identify a source of light, which is >90% of /ic/ posters.

tl;dr If you go on /ic/ for any reason other than funposting, you're ngmi.

This is ridiculous bullshit. Some of the best digital artists have only worked in digital, and have never bothered with "basic forms and still lifes of simple objects".

>This is how every master learned how to draw since the 16th century.
You know why they learned to draw that way in the 16th century? Because they only had "traditional media" to work with, and the only thing they could check their work against was a static indoor scene. All of their people look weird as shit because they had no snapshots to use for reference. They tended to draw bored faces, because that's how models end up looking when you make them sit for hours, and when they tried to draw non-bored faces, they generally screwed them up pretty badly. The few exceptions are remembered as great works, and only a handful of the most talented people ever made a few... in long careers of painting mostly weird-ass faces.

Furthermore, not everyone is interested in drawing slavish realism, and there are a thousand roads to learning to draw with an interesting individual style. There are no hard rules but that what looks good, looks good.

I'm not going to have the same argument that's been had thousands of times on /ic/. I'm right, you're wrong, every aspect of the field of professional art proves me right. Stop posting.
