I would have posted this on /ic/ but that would be quire embarassing. Im 18 and almost hitting 19 but im scared im too old to learn how to draw beyond the same dogshit messy scribbles I have done since I was 8>too old to learn how to draw>too old to learn music>too old for sculpting >too old for cosplayingI feel too old to get into any hobbies I want to as if im incapable of doing it and have wasted my teenage years worrying about an overbearing school, my messy head getting in and out of mental hospitals and doomscrolling>people say my writing and poetry are very good but theyre barely above average imo and not very fulfillingI really dont wanna be stuck as a poetryfag on /lit/ that sounds like the gayest fate imaginable aside from maybe being a photographer
>>34445548>hitting 19 but im scared im too old to learn how to drawyou're retarded, get a tablet and start learning. your art will look like SHIT starting out, you have to endure that initial phase of wanting to cry over being terrible but just keep at it. I started at 33 and got over 1000 followers from drawing so far, you can do it.like cmon man you're almost 19 and acting like your life is wasted, get it together!
>>34445548If you didn't learnt it when you where an sperm in your daddy's balls then it's too late for you, you will never surpass those that have been drawing since they where an embryo in the womb
What a retarded thread
NOyou are fucking young. without trying to put too much pressure, you at the age where I wish I'd started doing stuff I only started doing now. Go watch Pewdiepie's videos on it he started in his 30s. Experiment and find things you like and don't like, you lose nothing. Seize the day nigga.

>>34445706do you think that nigga with 100 million subs needs ads? It's genuine advice faggot he's good at drawing so it's relevant
>>34445548OP, never forget that determination is the strongest tool you and everyone will ever have. So if you dedicate yourself enough, it doesn't matter if you're 19 or 30 or 70, you'll eventually get it.That being said, it is obviously easier when you're young, since you have more time and less shit occupying space in your head, but you absolutely are young. Plenty of people have started out MUCH later, like double your age and more.
>>34445548Depends on how big your aspirations/ambitions are to be honest. If you try to improve your work a lot and get into watching and reading a lot of tutorials it can work out pretty smoothly
>>34445548just fucking do the hobbies, retardget a snowball rolling and you'll stop being so self-aware
Nothing wrong with focusing only on writing. A jack of all trades is a master of none
>>34445589Your story gives me hope. I’m 22, 23 in August, and am about to start up again. I’ve been in a symbol drawing rut my whole life that I oughta get rid off to focus on fundies.
Why dont you focus on the things you already do
>>34445548you're not too young to learn any of these. you're barely an adult yet, you retard
>>34445548I get you, OP. I'm the same age as you and have had the same feeling.It really hits me hard when I go on tiktok or twitter or whatever, see someone who has an incredible amount of skill and shows lots of dedication to doing what they do, and I check their bio and see that they're 15.As >>34445772 said it is obviously better to start doing things when you are young, but you should realize that you're still young in the grand scheme of things. If you start now it will be better than if you start in 5 or 10 or however many years.
