Does being a Catholic make you a better artist?
>>152468882Evidently not given pic related.
>>152468882I'm an adult man who asked a Priest this once.Also, obviously not OP. I don't really get where this thread is going.
>>152468894What's wrong with it?
>>152468882No, but being devoted to something gives you the drive and emotional energy to make passionate art.
>>152468960That's why Latinos make up most of /co/ drawfags nowadays?
>>152468957Nothing inherently but it's also nothing to write home about. You'd have a much better case making this thread on /his/ by posting Renaissance art or something.
>>152469022I think that's more relative economic situations. If some Peruvian guy can get 2000 bucks a month on a Patreon that's living really well in Peru, looks like about 250% above the median. While in America it's not a lot.So, competitive advantage.
>>152468882I asked a similar question to a girl I knew in high school who was Catholic, only about if your uncle was a Priest.No, we never smashed...
>>152469022please use the gender-neutral term latinx*
>>152468882it makes you a filthy jew that's for sure
>>152468882What if you're Orthodox and the priest actually is your father?
>>152469134What if you proceed from the father and the son?
>>152468882Does being a Mormon do that?
>>152468882Since Catholic is cringe it's more of a handicap
>>152469181Reddit
>>152469211you're right, catholicism is extremely reddit.
>>152469211>>152469260The Catholic Church is 2000 years older than Reddit.
>>152469290>The Catholic Church was founded when Jesus was 5 years old
>>152469175I thought Mormons didn't like furries.
>>152469386They don't like drugs, premarital sex and The Gay. Anything else is fine.
>>152468960I've said this before but perverts often do great things because they're highly motivated individuals.
>>152469407Except caffeine
No it just means you don't go to hell.
>>152469427That's a drug.
>>152469386Nobody likes furries
>>152469434Coffee it's an estimulant, not a drug.
>>152469088The one in the comic, not OP's question, I mean
>>152469444Stimulants are a class of drugs.
>>152469407Mormons aren't allowed to accept blood.
>>152469463Caffeine is a competitive antagonist to adenosine receptors the same way capsaicin is to the TRV receptors that react to physical heat/corrosion, there isn't something magical that makes the former a drug but not the latter. Blocking a fatigue receptor is considerably different from taking actual stimulants like amphetamines.
>>152469738So you can't be a Mormon vampire? Sounds pretty sus to me
>>152469842Technically true but you can't receive a blood transfusion as well.
>>152469903Zoomies are always so confident when they're wrong.https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4260316
>>152468960i'm devoted to beating my dick.
>>152468882Perseverance makes you a good artist/composer/writer/programmer/chef because you're mastering a skill set where you generally start out sucking and endure frustration.
>>152470128then how do you explain talent?
>>152469022Part economy, americans will ignore your $100 offer for a doodle. Down south it's a living wage and a reason to strive to improve.Part culture, comics and cartoons are just a container for a story. Not just for kids, but everyone.Then they probably have enough asian jeans from the natives.
>>152470156It helps with perseverance.
The lack of painkillers means they must learn to live with the rejection that builds up an artist.Converts like Vance, who join for the memes have no such luck and simply seeth at creativity.
>>152470589This. Picasso mastering realism at 7 or Mozart writing songs at the same age is a fucking fluke, most good/great artists started out making shit like the rest of us and going through the grind, hating themselves, failing over and over but never giving up.This is where Alex Ross started out.
>>152470680>most good/great artists started out making shit growing up it was pretty clear who had artistic talent as early as 13-14 with little to no practice, just doodling or doing what they thought was fun to do because they were naturally drawn to it. it's effortless and rewarding for people hardwired for it.
>>152469386Mormons are the most degenerate compared to Catholics and Protestants.>>152469738And yet, I wish they'd die off faster than at the current rate.
Jack Hamm was a cartoonist and author of several excellent "how to draw" books. He was also devoutly Christian.https://youtu.be/88WQoQKKhzQ
>>152469738>>152469903You are confusing them with Jehovah's Witnesses.
>>152468882Not necessarily.
>>152468882>fr ottoI wasn't expecting zoomer speak. That's a joke.
>>152469022>drawfags>passionate artwut
>>152472792Heh
>>152468882No
>>152472814It happens.
>>152472792Who is this
>>152468882Yes
>>152475348Interesting.
>>152470698>as early as 13-14Jesus.Either things have degraded significantly since I left school or kids in the 80s and 90s were just massively more talented than Kids These Days™. I remember being able to tell by year three which kids were the good artists.
>>152476647Its a nice book but it took me forever to find a copy on eBay
>>152476844The kids are way better than us I say this assuming you're in your mid to late 20s at the age we were starting to draw because now they've got all the resources they need and more art styles to take inspiration from so they don't have to crib off 90s furry art and Rumiko Takahashi or Akira Toriyama
>>152470698Ross would not have hinted at who he became by that ageTHIS IS FUCKING WORK, PICK UP THE FUCKING PENCIL, RECRUIT
>>152471150Great book
>>152475348Now explain fellow Catholic John Romita Jr. who was still a great artist when he was single and a shit artist married with kids now
>>152477985I blame the shift to digital.
>>152469386Mormons are usually giant nerds. Easily the highest nerd ratio of any modern-day church.That's why.
