Oh no

When can we finally admit talent is real and not everyone can be an artist?

What the fuck? Any examples?

Because drawing is one of the worst hobbies one can pick up. And to add salt to the wound, most anons here, whether they admit it or not, dream of "making it". But at the same time, most anons know deep down it will never happen. Not only will most here never make a career out of it but most won't even reach a passable level. Again though, they know this but they've sunk far too much time, energy, and money to quit.
Imagine wanting to enter such a highly competitive, over saturated field. Even if your goal isn't an art job you still have to deal with constant self doubt thanks to the thousands of artists around you, probably producing better work despite being the same age if not younger. Also add the fact that most anons on this site have little going on in their actual lives.
And going back to age, I strongly feel that anons starting in their 20s is another factor in their anger. Majority of pros have been drawing under mentors since childhood. Even with all the resources we have now, an adult in their 20s will have to deal with their more critical mind. A kid is more likely to look past their bad art, an adult will not be so lucky.

NGMI but not giving up either: this is a thread for fellow NGMIs fighting through the futility no matter what harm it's done to your mental health or personal life.

>Their goal isn't time-efficiency though
Which is why I don't respect their "hard work". You can also think deeply yet still have insane, gibberish, unrespectable opinions.

>quite the contrary
Time wasting? Why do they do this?

>Same as saying: why spending a century building a 500m tall cathedral when you can just gather in a cave?
Yes

> inb4 nooo but the cathedral lasts you know
They serve as adequate monuments to the crumbling empires that build them as they last about as long.

>Plus, by that same logic, they must be laughing their ass off when seing Westerners building manufacturing plants to make forks while they snap two branches of bamboo straight from the tree.
This is what I mean. Formless, shintoist platitudes. It's "k keep me posted" tier.

>That's a true point of view, from a ignorant perspective.
It's a correct description and explanation of what they actually do. They enjoy their suffering, it's tenacious, admirable and would even be desirable if there was any actual wisdom behind it. But there isn't, it's ultimately repetition and idol worship.

>This is such a buzz word, anon
You're quoting a sentence, numbnuts.

>Values depend on which color you chose to depict the light and shadow.
And when you use a soft edge brush you can't do that. It's only a solid value at the center of the brush, it gets muddied on the edge. It's less noticeable in black and white, but in color weird shit happens. Again it's a basic first steps to digital.

>Tumblr rejects actually mainly use default hardbrush in their dogshit drawings.
That's not how they apply the blush in the noses and cheeks.

prove me wrong

I don't have any of the specific track names, sorry, but the ones I had in my mind were from the Elder Scrolls games, Halo, Final Fantasy (most boss's themes are good shit), Shadow of the Colossus, Legend of Zelda, Super Smash Bros,Kingdom hearts, etc.

Fighter games, FPSs, RPG/JRPGs, Action, and the occasional puzzle game are good places to look if you want to make a playlist.
