I feel like I'm so prideful. I don't feel like I've fully integrated into the art community. Like, I've yet to draw an actual thing, like something I want to draw because I'm scared it would look too bad. I am so alone, so lost, have no idea where to go, I always kid myself that I can do this alone, but I just...I don't draw because I'm slightly frightened about...something.

I only started drawing a little over a month ago, and I'm a little afraid of what will happen once I hit my first big roadblock/failure/disappointment.
So far I'm feeling pretty confident, but who knows when the initial motivation will run out.
Also I hope I can reach a stage soon, where I can better apply my studies to my "fun" drawings (so far most of my studies are just a bunch of lines, circles and boxes)

[Anonymous No.4787093]

how the fuck do people balance talking to others and drawing? I draw very often and it takes a lot of focus for me. More often than not I have t clog my ears with music just to keep me on task. But somehow im expected to chat with people during. I can't join voice calls either because those are even more distracting. People end up getting upset when I don't respond fast enough, despite me saying im drawing. I guess the issue is that it's ALL I do.

damn the realization just hit that i don't actually enjoy drawing very much, mainly because it gives me a fuckton of anxiety. even if i was god tier i'd probably just use it as a tool to represent ideas/creative endeavors and never do it for fun outside of the rare occasion. probably ngmi but my goals are probably pretty low compared to most anons on here and i dislike the idea of giving up so i'm still going to try to grind shit out.

I honestly wish I had the answer for this one anon. When every one was younger it seemed easy to network and get connections, literaly every one was dumb and impressionable and easy to get a hold of. I managed to get into contact with hundreds of 100k following artists and even became their friends. After time went on and I grew the fuck up I had no time nor the energy to keep in contact with these people as life moved on and i found myself starting a family of my own. These other popular artists had obviously gone through age as well, and suffered the same mindset of "i refuse to talk to any one online". So now things are different, and it seems difficult to make connections if you werent already friends with some one. However a few years ago i decided to rebrand without any one knowing and seemingly enough in an instant all the same artists were back to following me and throwing clout my way, so who the fuck knows.

I’m finally coming to terms with the fact that the reason why any single improvement I get is so slow to come is because I am scared of failure. I am scared to pick up my pencil, my pen, my brush, my tablet pen because I am worried I will spend hours and end up with utter shit.

Today I have drawn a tree in water color in the savannah. It was pretty shit, I did not even use watercolor paper since I am broke for the rest of the month, I was ready to throw it in the trash. My mum came by to get her car fixed and once I was done my painting was gone. Next thing I know, she texts me she is going to hang it in the office. Thanks mum, even if my drawings are shite, I barely understand one point perspective, and every single body and face I make (anime or realistic) are abominations, they are my abominations. I embrace the shit, perhaps it will eventually get better.

I had a horrible dream. I remember waking up but then I fell asleep on the floor and then I dreamed about being at this desert and there was this large cannon structure that shot out this spirit looking projectile. Guards of some kind put me in the canon and my body was chopped up inside the canon then I became a spirit. They fired the canon and I was flying around some weird space with other spirits.

The dream would flip in and out of a group of men who would torture me by either killing me or performing sex acts (torture). Every time I died I went back into the stream of spirits again and again and the only way of the dream ironically was shouting Gods name for help and I woke up. There is more to it but I'm quickly forgetting the dream now as I type..

Last night was a slight improvement. My body compensated for not being able to sleep entire durations by shutting down for microsleeps, blackouts that lasted anywhere from half a second to half a minute.

im working from home since covid and our hours were cut. so basically 4 hours a day i sit there in front of my work laptop. its so depressing and i get so irritable. its beautiful and hot and sunny outside. all i want is to go out there. i hate my customers. i hate this company. those 4 hours go so slow.

yesterday i made this little scribble of a girl flipping me off, and as soon as i logged out from work i started focusing on that sketch. i totally forgot about dinner. i lost all track of time. i was still going around midnight. just playing with colors.

i love drawing so fucking much. and today when i woke up, it was all i could think about was to clean this one up and start on the background.

i never had anything else in my life like this where i lose so much time and stay so focused. this is how my friends get with video games but i have no interest. when you meet people who code, this is how they are with coding. when you meet athletes this is how they are with sports.

i finally found my thing.

i slept like a king last night.

If I graduate in 3 years with a bachelors, I’m gonna take some years off learning more about 2d animation .

How do you get ideas/inspiration for drawings? It seems like I get one good idea every few months but from then on it's just nothing but uninspired drawings.

"if only"

"if only"

But those are all lies, just to feel better with myself. At the end of the day all i can do is practice to be better, and i do. But at the end of the day I keep telling myself that i don't need acceptance from others, but deep inside i crave for it, i just want others to tell me that i'm doing something good, just so i don't feel alone, just to feel that i am doing something with my life.

I don't know what i want anymore.

I’m okay with casual racism on this site; I have been here since late 2010 so I’m nurtured in it by now. But no matter how long that length of time is I cannot accept racism in the face where it’s just deliberately attacking a person as a person and as a cop-out rather than attacking, oh I dunno, their art or their writing if /lit/ or if they’re an overweight fat fuck if context subscribes to it. Yes, this is 4chan, but that is no excuse to be a racist prick because you have nothing left to bully someone with on an artboard no less. I don’t care if you’re black, white, chinese, Indian, alaskan, mexican, or from the deepest trenches of nepal; if you’re on /ic/ to learn to draw then shitposting should revolve mainly around art. There is a reason “racism outside of /b/” exists. If I wanna see that shit I’ll go over to /pol/ for the laugh. Especially when the racism involves telling one to die in a specific racist stereotypical way. There is a difference between just saying the n word casually versus putting emphasis on it by making it a moniker as your way of getting back at anonymous people you don’t know rather than just making fun of drawings (what we’re here for). Shitposting should all be in good fun and board specific.

It no longer is shitposting when it devolves into just blatant stormfront posting. This applies to every board except /b/ and /pol/.

I know this is bait but you're really not that dense.
You can bully someone jokingly for being short, fat, whatever because those don't have racist connotations and don't imply that you are inherently inferior as a human being.
Before you say that racist jokes don't imply that either, think about it a little. Do you not at least a little think that niggers are just a tad bit dumber than the average person, and that the world would be much better if whites were in control? I hope you get what i mean, racist jokes can lead to you believing in some dumb out there 1940's propaganda shit because of the way that humor has been presented through centuries, there is barely anything comedic in it anymore it's just thinly veiled straight up racism.
Now this doesn't mean you can't joke about black people or some experiences specific to black people but there is a way in which that is funny and then there is the common chan-culture way of doing that which is just sincerely hoping that niggers die.

>Man I swear drawing is one of the hardest skills to learn.
Practice. The problem isn't that it's hard to draw stuff that's in your head, the problem is that it's hard to draw in general.

Practice. Learn when to draw with your fingers, wrist, or arm. Learn strokes and shit. But most importantly, before you try to draw from imagination, learn how to draw from reality. If you can perfectly visualize a drawing in your head, then it should be as easy or difficult to draw as drawing a real object in front of you. Get good at that.

No matter how good you are at drawing you need to master the fundamentals. The broadest toolkit in the world is never going to be useful in unskilled hands.

I hate the fact that the only way artists could ever make money on the internet is by drawing porn, no one wants actual art, they just want fucking anime girls with huge honkers. You either draw that and sell your morals, or post your drawings on social media and get 2 likes on it.

[Anonymous No.4794673]

>>4794590
but i never made that claim. if a women is crazy or annoying of course you give her the boot. but personality is not what initially attracts men to women. first you have to be good looking, and then if you want to stick around, you have to be a decent person.
my point was, men have to be a lot of things. we need a good job. we need to have a good social circle, we need to have money, to be tall, etc. i see a lot of women wasting their time and effort toward the same things that men are working hard at but i believe they are mistaken when they do that.

dont get me wrong, if you like drawing, draw. im not drawing to meet women. but i know a lot of women who work an office job to pay for an apartment, and they have 2 and 3 and 4 degrees and a hundred grand in debt. and I'm like why are you doing that?

as a man i would nnever work my boring office job if i didnt have to. i wouldn't rent my own place if i didnt have to. i would just like with my parents and dress like shit and work an easy part time job or something if women didnt care about these things. men are held to a much higher and more difficult to attain standard. That's why we don't take women's complaints seriously. You have no pressure on you. Everything you ever do will be forgiven. You have a billion social safety nets. You can easily find a mate. All we ask is that you work on your physical appearance. And hey, stop nagging so much. And apparently that's too much to ask.

I don’t know, a lot of people don’t like being dependent on other people. Relying on men to pay for you and your life can put you in precarious situations. A lot of people, both men and women, want more from life than a partner and kids. Which is why a lot of them put themselves in debt over degrees for their dream, whether it’s silly in the eyes of other people. I didn’t go to college because I didn’t want the debt, but others either don’t have the option or want to be in a field that requires a degree. Some get degrees in stupid shit simply because that stupid shit interested them enough to learn. The system needs to change to at least inform high schoolers that there are other paths in life than university and they can learn a lot about that stupid major through the internet and different books. But, that’s a different discussion.

Samefagging to touch on your last points, average men in terms of life achievement and looks get girlfriends and wives everyday. Loser men, unattractive men, also get girlfriends and wives all the time. Women, at any level of life or attraction also get boyfriends and husbands. Playing the oppression olympics about dating because a CEO chad won’t wife you or Stacy on the beach won’t fuck you is just retarded. Anyone can get a partner if they lower their expectations, but the problem is that the media influences what those expectations are.

>Everything you ever do will be forgiven.
If you’re an attractive woman. The thing is that if you’re an ugly dude, you can work on traits to make yourself more desirable. If you’re an unattractive woman (not simply fat or old, but legitimately unattractive in face or body shape even when thin), the only thing that can elevate you is plastic surgery, and that takes a paying job to attain. Yes, pretty women have privilege (and women born into money to pay for themselves to be attractive), but so do most rich and beautiful men. Capitalism favors the rich and the beautiful in this life, while everyone else who is average or unfortunate just live regular lives or lone lives. I don’t think every women who uses this board is a model...

He has a horrible social circle, terrible low wage jobs because he’s a felon, no money, etc. not a great personality either, he was an alcoholic with some anger issues and trauma. He was a good dad, but not an ideal partner, and he was swimming in pussy.

Art is what gives me purpose, the thing that brings me the greatest joy and fulfilment, I feel like my true self when I’m drawing and improving, yet I haven’t drawn regularly for almost a year. Art College (animation degree) killed my passion. I have been rejected from every studio I applied to. The utter crushing feeling of failure and rejection and stressing out about not having a job or making money from my work stops me from drawing

the difference of gossips
female gossip is attention envy
male gossip is envy of success and draftsmanship; this is objective and results in short discussions (or no discussion at all), since the conclusion is always the same, that to become successful you have to put your head down and work, else it's an analysis of tools, workflow and useful shortcuts.

I dunno what kind of manga you read, but the reason for outrage was understandable for me. I don't have autism so I don't engage in the arguments, but my first impression of the character design was "wow, she's insanely short" and "wow, she's insanely endowed," which ended up looking very comical. It honestly put me off, as it just felt excessively tasteless and, frankly, based. They know exactly what their audience wants in a show like that; hypersexualized young anime girls put in ridiculously tropey and predictable sexual tension/comedy scenarios. They're unapologetic about it, which could be seen as a positive to some, but it brings out this divide between those who appreciate these attributes and those who don't.

In short, she looks ridiculous, the show knows it, and fans would have a lot more peace of mind if they could learn from the "Yes." meme and just say, well, Yes.
