>20MI've really wanted to be a good artist for so long and I practiced drawing for years but no matter what im still really bad at it. I know there are art books you can learn but im super lazy, dumb and its confusing to me. I'll always have a strong desire to draw though then instantly try to forget about it until I see a good drawing that inspires me then I try again just to fail. I've also wanted to cosplay but my face is unnatractive, I either want to look cute or draw cute things but I cant do neither. Either way I want attention and want to show I have cool hobbies too but I still amount to nothing. In the end I think its the lack of motivation but I want a fun hobby to get me out of the depressive state, but I feel the only way out is the happiness of me succeeding my favorite hobby. Is there anything else I can do or am I just stuck until I find support from getting friends?
>>34211521Reading you it is obvious the issue is not your hobbies but your lack of self confidence and enjoyment of the process. That's what you should work on before it ruins your life.
>>34211521If you had friends you would do those things without qualms. If you don't do them you won't find friends who like them.
>>34211521The point of hobbies is not to reach professional quality. It is to kill time enjoyably.
>>34211521No matter which hobby you do you will suck at it at the beginning. You need to enjoy the process and set small achievable goals (and maybe even long term ones).>>34211527>>34211618>>34211753All bring up very good points, maybe listen to them as well. You could try other hobbies but this issue is unavoidable. Are you reaching other goals in your life? Like socializing, dating, job, fitness, etc. How do you currently spend your days right now?
>>34211521>im super lazy, dumbI won't read threads with such unpromising premises. Nothing can be done either way: whether it's objectively true or simply a belief, no advice is going to shift it.
>>34211521I got ok at drawing but kept wanting to draw boobs and asses so I decided it was an evil skill
>>34211764I just lay in bed at home with no job which sucks, im assuming this hobby issue is the least of my problems since I need to fix my social life and find more enjoyable things, thank you all for your advice
>>34211521I went to school for illustration and I would strongly advise against getting into drawing. It's useless on many levels especially with AI art being a thing now. It doesn't stop me from appreciating good old drawings but it's kinda over for art at this point.The cosplay there are many characters that are masked or otherwise face is covered in some way with makeup, prosthetics etc. So you could do that if you don't like your face.
>>34213957>A.IDon't listen to him OP. You shouldn't let whataboutisims deter you from enjoying hobbies. A.I is a tool, not a replacement. Because A.I cannot and will not be a replacement for creativity.
