/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Not so much a vent as it is a PSA for all the youngsters here. I was one of those kids that spent hours drawing every day. I eventually got to the level of "Kinda decent" but it's not as though I was actually doing fundies as a kid. After high school, I looked into actually improving and started doing gestures, figure drawing, drawing from life, FEELING THE F O R M, etc. This went on for a couple years then one day, I just... quit. I had become depressed and overworked and I realized I didn't have time to spend hours a day practicing my art. I hadn't picked up a pencil for 7 years, up until about a month ago. I'm almost 28 years old now, and my drawings are fucking amateurish as hell. My shit is so washed up and bad that I regularly post in /beg/ and get roasted for how bad it looks. I wasted nearly my entire 20's doing nothing and now I deeply regret it. Don't be like me, anons. Practice your art, find the time. Even if you only do so for about an hour a night. Practice your art.
