If you aren't chasing fame, money, and passion projects... Then why the fuck are you drawing?
Everything feels like fake engagement.

Because Niggers can't draw from imagination.
All they know is floating heads, copy manga, charge they tablet, and Lie.

I follow the less poor artist archetype, worked on stem for a decade, saved enough so I can live minimalistically without financial worries in a shitty van, then just do art and crafts till eventually dying of cancer. Forger fame and luxury, not happening

What, you can't comprehend someone doing something as a hobby? Having a page would be a nice bonus, but it's mainly a thing I do for fun

>fame
Everybody wants engagement or eyes on their work in some capacity, that's why we post our stuff online. It takes a lot of work to "chase" fame and most artists can't be bothered.

>money
Again, it takes a lot of work to market yourself *well*. Most artists can't be bothered and aren't particularly business-savvy.

>passion projects
So every artist ever? The discipline itself is already a passion project.

In conclusion:
>If you aren't chasing fame, money, and passion projects... Then why the fuck are you drawing?

Because it's fun to create what I want with my own tastes, see myself improve, and create more new and interesting ideas.
I refuse to inject the hustle-culture mindset in to my HOBBY. It's not my day job.
Positive or constructive engagement from friends and peers every blue moon is the absolute bare minimum - not money, not fame.

Being able to draw won’t make you not black
>>
>>7942109
Its actually agonizing to draw just because you love to and have people start acting like you need unsolicited advice 24/7 to make it into a shitty career the minute you get any good
>>
>>7942109
It's just a fun way to pass the time and seeing my art improve and allowing me to create images I like is rewarding!

Yeah, this is the part that gets me.
How the hell did so many people fall for the idea art makes you wealthy?
The richest people are those with in demand skills (i.e Doctors) or CEOs and Investors.

Art crosses off neither since millions of people can draw pictures which isn't exactly a rare skill nor something to pump money into like discovering oil is.

>millions of people can draw pictures which isn't exactly a rare skill
I mean, have you seen the average quality of the drawings that people post on this board? Maybe it is a somewhat rare skill after all.
>>
>>7962059
> Maybe it is a somewhat rare skill after all.
If that was true then why are there so many desperate artists willing to work for as low as $5 per picture?
Again, it's simple supply and demand.
Unless you are an absolute rockstar with brand recognition most artists would starve to death if they tried to price themselves as premium as possible.
