I wish I was told this in middle school. I always thought people good at art were innately good at it, so I gave up thinking I'd never be able to draw.

I used to think like that, but then I realized to most normies its just a way of saying someone's skilled in a particular field.

Theres no inherent disrespect or denial of hardwork behind it. Chill.

What a stupid quote. Not only is it misunderstanding what people mean when they say those things (hint: they are complimenting you), it also is putting down others. I don't think anything that reinforces your ego by belittling others and making them seem inferior is a healthy way of looking at things or growing as a person or artist.

The problem with motivation is that it's great for /fit/ like things but when applied to /ic/ it can be a bad thing.
When you're motivated you get excited and pumped up and you wanna do things fast and do em hard. With art you've gotta be analytical and calm. If you're all jumpy you're just gonna make a mess.
I say that if you can control your motivation and turn it into calm discipline then you're golden

They just want to compliment you and make you feel a bit better about yourself, you bitter asshole. Non-artists don't put any hidden implied insults in calling anyone talented or gifted. Holy fuck.

No, we don't. Motivation is for faggots, it's too unreliable and fragile.

If you wan't to git gud, then get some discipline and good habits instead.

It's not just people like you that this affects, I was told from Primary that I was naturally gifted in the arts - thereby giving me an inflated sense of self-worth and the thought process of a fatty. I didn't even try to improve through learning and practice, I drew for the heck of it thinking I'd just become something. By Secondary I was still a head above the rest of the class, which only cemented it further. I only learnt I wasn't some re-incarnation of Da Vinci when I left school, immersed myself in the art world and realized 'Oh wait, I am pretty fucking terrible actually'.

I still wonder how my art teacher passed her exams...

Motivation is temporary, sure. Everyone should know that. But having it to give you a little push isn't harming anyone (unless you're in the threads frequently, then you're a CUNT)

>>2152350
The secret is in balance
You can't succeed with just motivation and you can't succeed with just discipline you need both
The motivation motivates the discipline and the discipline leads to success therefore being motivating

OP here, going top start off by saying I legitimately am autistic so, low blow dude.
But you guys have a point. The quote I used was one that was told to me by a teacher about four years ago in high school, he seemed to understand that it felt belittling to be called talented or naturally gifted. Like in some way people believed that there was more luck than skill involved.
At the time it worked to motivate me but I never really questioned it. I think he was basically trying to say what >>2151777 said, but didn't really have the words to do it.

But yeah I started this thread off pretty shit... Sorry bout that.

TL:DR - OP backpedals basically.

Yeah, though I personally make sure to tell others that they're skilled rather than talented, it should be fairly obvious that most people are using the words interchangeably. Getting upset about it is silly unless you know that the person is actually trying to be rude.
