>make drawing>it's dogshit>write a story>it's dogshit>make a game mod>it's dogshit>make a game>it's dogshitEven with years upon years of effort, I get mogged at every turn by people who aren't even trying. I'm going to have to consider... could it really be an IQ issue?It's like there's some sort of 'threshold' that I can't cross. Something that clicked for others, but I simply don't 'get'.

>>35087516Enjoy it for what it is instead of trying to make a career out of it.
>>35087895I've already made 5000 drawings. Still dogshit.>>35087897How can I find it?>>35087901I never mentioned anything about a career and I don't want it to be one. It's a hobby, but I can hardly enjoy it when I'm dogshit.
>>35087972Why aren't you improving? Are you studying techniques or just doodling like a retard?
>>35087972>I never mentioned anything about a career and I don't want it to be one. It's a hobby, but I can hardly enjoy it when I'm dogshit.You don't have to be good to enjoy it. The only requirement is that you are making progress. If you're making zero progress then you're probably wasting your time.
>>35087972If you learn to love the process of drawing instead of the outcome you will find a lot more joy and success improving. Rendering anything well is difficult - you need to have respect for human anatomy, perspective, contrast, color theory, etc. and to top it off you need to come into your own unique style. Most importantly - you need to USE REFERENCES. Draw shit that you see around you. Draw your non-dominant hand in different poses / angles. Hell, there are countless figure drawing websites like Quickposes that you can use to do gesture drawings with. I get being frustrated - but you're always going to be frustrated as long as your taste far exceeds what you're currently capable of. Just keep at it.

>>35087516It's a mix of emotional maturity, iq, and not being retarded. You lack all three.I know how to do all of these things and I could help you, but I don't think you would listen.
>>35087516Figure out why it's dogshit. Use your brain.
>>35087516You have to do it to challenge yourself not for the approval of others.
>>35087516As a fellow /beg/ artist: The trick is to show up every day. Most people who are exceptional at some skill are so good because they put in the hours at a very young age. Since we can't turn back time, the next best thing is to put in the hours now. And the best way to do that is to be consistent and enjoy the activity itself. So no box grinding if it's getting you close to burnout. Have fun. Allow yourself to fail. Come back the next day.
