Hate.

I was once trying to draw a demon with many mouths and eyes. It should have been ugly and asymmetrical. But suddenly I found out that I can't draw even something like this convincingly. Which prompted a self-hatred spike that made me finally to start reading books.

>>3745831
I just like drawing, it used to be to improve but it got so much more fun when I layed off the loomis and life drawing and started drawing from imagination and experimenting with other styles and only did the studies when I felt liek I was stuck.

Now I draw every day and even vidya doesn't get in the way.

>>3745831
I'd like to do it for a career. Still I don't practice.

I want a career that's not working in a fucking warehouse.

>>3745831
Once you start drawing every day, it becomes a routine and you feel really bad when you don't do it.

>>3745859
This, it's like exercising, if you stop you feel empty

my love for jesus christ

>>3745859
No it didn't.

I want to make my world come alive. The best way to get people into my world building is through illustrations.

>>3745831
There's not nearly as much art for my fetish as I feel like there should be. Had to take up the mantle, I guess. I'm finding other, more pure reasons the further I get along though.

>>3745831
i just want to make comics, man.

I have autistically specific fetishes that nobody else caters to, so I have to make them myself.

>>3745831
being able to draw or paint what ever I want from mere imagination

>>3745831
There's very little porn of my liking. This must be corrected

>>3745831
it helps with my anxiety and depression, plus i love making art for people, its a really nice gift and it lasts for a long time! but yeah being able to draw sexy women is a huge plus

I wanna make the comics I wanna read. The internet and publishers are lacking on that front.

I'd like to earn enough money from freelancing to buy a house for me and my boyfriend. Or get good enough to be hired by a great studio in a civilised country, preferably Germany or Spain. Purely proffesional oriented, im getting too old to play around.

>>3745831
To be able to draw cute anime girls in oversized sweaters.

>>3745880
this makes me happy

>>3745831
it's fun, I'm broke, and don't want to spend money on other hobbies

>>3746660
Yeah, I exercise for a hobby, but this December it been more convenient to draw, so now sketching have replace my exercising schedule

I want to be like Walt Disney.

Being able to tell my own stories with my own characters....otherwise, god this shit is so stressful

i'm stressed and constatntly studying. Drawing is relaxing and fun. Its my reward for a hard day. Every day.

>>3750296
I feel you man, not to be a crybaby but sometimes this shit can break you.

Something drives me to draw. I don't even enjoy it most of the time, but I still do it. I have this need to put something on paper, even though I end up hating most if it.

>>3745831
I can make things that didn't exist before
I can make an ideal thing
I can make things that are fucked up if I want to
I have control

>>3745831
>sexy women in bikinis

This but actually "men"

>>3745831
Mostly its because i try to draw everyday, once i got in the routine, its hard to stop

also i REALLY like seeing myself improve

>>3750647
No, all good, I can relate. After school this shit actually did break me.

Came from a combination of working really hard to the point I didn't have proper sleep for 3 months, at least 18-20 hours a day (no idea how I did it), and have everyone around me tell me my drawings/animations were shit and I just wasn't working hard enough.

Honestly, since then I haven't felt the same way about my art.

>>3745851
i felt this post reverberate through me

immortality

>>3745903
Painfully this
I sometimes end up masturbating to characters from shows I dont watch because of this

I've worked art-related jobs and I've worked normal jobs (factory, retail, customer service etc.) The art jobs are the only ones that don't make me want to kill myself.

That's a pretty good motivator.

>>3745831
Porn and lewds at first, but now I think I just want to draw cute SFW fanart and do my own thing with my own characters.

mostly so i have a hobby that doesn't mean i'm staring at a fucking screen

I gave up on my dream of learning to draw a few years ago, but recently I saw some works by a furry artist who does semi-tasteful pinups and something about them just motivated the hell out of me, and has kept me consistently motivated since. I'm not a furry, I don't plan on drawing furry art, and the art is very basic, but something about is just inspiring to me.

>>3745831
Before depression hit me like a freight train I wanted to become a comic artist. I also like drawing women because they're beautiful things, it's not sexual just pure aesthetic.

>>3745831
it gaves a propuose in life

I'm a writer but books too much. For me and movies are two expensive. So I make shitty comics. Should've worked on my writing instead.

>>3745831
I've always drawn as a "way out", since I was a kid. I didn't have much in the way of games or shows or whatever to occupy me because my parents were very controlling, so I read a lot and drew. I became obsessed with making my own characters and worlds, and that obsession continues to this day. Nowadays it's less of a "way out" and more of a hobby I do for fun, and I hope to one day make a career out of it, if I can.

>>3745880
Same, it feels so satisfying putting my ideas down on paper, like I could reach out and step in. It's why I love sketching so much, the lines dictate the emotion like plucking a string on a guitar.

>>3745851
Short and simple. but it hit the hardest

>>3745831
I want to get great so i can impress /ic/

>>3745831
I want to draw people fighting.
I desire nothing more than to learn how to draw people doing this, and then learn to animate people doing this.
Every day of failure is a disappointment but one day I will reach that goal

Mah niggah!

which episode of manben is this?

I like drawing and I want to be proud of the things I attach my name to. It's embarrassing to be a bad artist or a person with no talent. It's also fun to draw so it's not hellish like learning to fight and being punched in the face getting brain damage. I don't think this is rocket science. Just draw more, get better.

>I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain. One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself, forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

I have a goal of creating an OC universe for which I would create characters, races, tech, landscape, cities, deviantart tier lore etc. I'm basically pretending I'm creating source material for a comic/video-game/anime. Its motivating to have a purpose to aim for, rather than aimlessly drawing this and that.

I really don't like the idea of drawing random shit, or fan-art of other artists OC, its kinda boring for me. That sweet Twitter traffic is nice though.

I don't really draw right now, but I think I'm being pushed to some kind of breaking point. A breaking point that further motivates me to pursue this desire to start drawing and expressing my artistic creativity. For everyday that I get strong inspiration to the point where I want to sketch it out, but am too much of a lazy fuck to do so, my mind teases me more and more and more, edging me to that point. I hope I get there. I really do.

I dunno. I used to draw for the praise I got when I showed off my drawings, but then I learned that I wasn't any good and I ended up giving up drawing.
Nowadays I'm tempted to try and start again for similar reasons to
>>3745903
But the prospect of having to relearn everything doesn't appeal.
