It's been 6 years since I came here and not a single time I pick up a pencil... Now that I'm 26 and unemployed. I don't want to stay a permabeg anymore, I'm tired of drawing front facing heads... I want to create, to make comic. But I don't know where to start, how to go from here. Please help me, fellow /ic

>>7936739>I want to create, to make comicmaybe just draw the fucking comic then
>>7936739You don’t want to make a comic, you just like the idea.
>>7937026thisif you wanted it bad enough, you'd be compelled to skip meals over itsee a shrink about your risk avoidance if it's actually a problem. the actual problem is that you're probably scared of looking like an idiot for making things, which you either need to get over or accept that your desire for acceptance will hold you back in anything in life, not just art.
>>7937236I'm a lot older than OP and have a similar problem. I actually have very well-developed drawing skills (some atelier training for observational drawing, and many years self-taught at drawing from imagination). I enjoy drawing; in fact, I never feel more content than I do while drawing (reading old books about drawing is a close second). The "problem" is that when I draw I lose track of time and hours pass very quickly. This, coupled with the fact that I have a family, kids and full time work obligations has made me reluctant to pick up a pencil. My feeling is, why bother if I'm only going to be interrupted and have to stop, and lose my train of thought? I miss being a kid and spending the whole day on creative stuff without a care in the world.
>>7936739Pretty much the same things for me, but I always picked up the pencil everyday. Aaaaand that is the only difference, as I am a permabeg...
