It's worse than that OP. I did start drawing as a kid and won art shows. But realized animation makes you a willing slave, even in countries where it pays decently. Thank goodness I have a dajob that pays well and I can draw for myself on my own time.

Is starting to draw in your 20s really a failed goal?
I'm 22 (going to be 23 in a few months) and have only started. I feel like I'm getting a little better as I practice but I do have this underlying anxiety that it's too late for me to ever really be as good a people who started when they were much younger and it does feel really discouraging. Like I don't even know if practicing all the time is ever going to result in me being even decent.

I'm not going to be basing any of my decisions on anything people say in this thread, however hearing different people's perspectives/opinions will contribute to the soup of feelings and thoughts I have about this. Most of the time when people ask others about something, they aren't expecting an answer that will solve everything for them or lead them directly to their final conclusion, they just get a feel for where other people are at when it comes to thinking about the topic so that they can get a better grounding and sense of thinking about it.

Same. 22 here as well turning 23 soon and desu I cant help but feel that it's too late. But it doesn't matter since I only have two choices. Either I start now or regret not trying when I'm a senile old fuck.

It's not a loser mentality to be considering whether you're on the right path or not, I wish you the best on accomplishing your goals but you don't have to put down others just because they aren't certain they have the right ones.

take it from someone who has been drawing since a child, who has been in art shows,

all you're missing is some weird ego drive but besides that you guys are golden.

it's just more difficult finding the time as an adult and as a high schooler watching vilppu i wasnt thinking about depression n real life n shit.

in this day and age greatness can creep out of anywhere desu

fuck who is to say you won't memorable or regarded? just find the right audience and timing is everything.

shit. luck/making it = preparation + opportunity

that being said i've seen some hard ngmi's and some soft professors who dont have the heart to say it.

but if anime studios is any indication we don't need masters as much anymore. it's a team effort.

Neuroplasticity drops off a cliff after age 25 and it only gets worse from there.

Learning and improving won't necessarily be impossible but literally everything will be more difficult and take longer since you're essentially always going to be battling against slow, and natural, cognitive decline.

I'll never make it in any industry, which is why my goal is to try make something on my own and hopefully people will enjoy it.

>>4650151
Starting something and giving up is a failed goal. It literally doesn't matter how late you start if you get there in the end. People have started in their 60s and gotten good, all you need to do is continually challenge yourself.

The reason for that is because you're growing out of the shitpost phase but the place doesnt grow along with you and is in a perpetual state of 18-20 year olds shitposting.
