I just want to rationally imagine how the process will move and whether it will evolve at all for lack of talent, talent is the possibility of evolution, passing through the stage of all three types of perspectives, applying perspective to build simple human figures from boxes or other simple shapes, then evolution to anatomy, first basic and then more complex, After learning how to draw anatomy, there will be drawing objects, clothes, possibly animals, then studying coloring. To complete all these stages, talent is needed, in one form or another and at one level or another. I'm on the level of crooked and dirty box people. This is a picture from /beg/ where anon reached the /int/ level in 1 year and secured it for the next year, he has talent for all stages. OP the picture shows a lack of talent, so I'm thinking whether I should continue what I started or spit on everything

You're literally drowning yourself in sea of thoughts and cope when sometimes all you need to do is just pick up a pen and Just Draw.
Whether is a cognitive issue (stubbornness) or whatever else you will always improve if you pick up something from your last drawing and apply it to a new one

They are approximately the same vertical length as the chest and hip box you have circled in red. Get used to it that way, then you can get a feel for it and make it longer or shorter according to the body type.
Of course stretching it in any way appears to reduce its length since the spine no longer takes a straight path but an arc.
>>
>>7233469
I'm NTA, but I can tell you that your lines are uneven. You should be using a ruler to help you keep steady, even lines until your muscle and visual memory is good enough to do it without. A ruler will even help you keep you consistent with your reference, using the length of the original to compare to your study will tell you when you've gone too far or not far enough in places.

There is no original here, the ruler and the lines will not straighten or improve the correct perspective arrangement in any way, the lines are the last thing to worry about

Look at something (preferrebly something simple) and draw it as best as you can. Once you're done, look at what you drew and compare. Does it look accurate? Why or what not? What differences can you spot? Draw it again trying to correct those mistakes and rinse repeat while moving onto something a little harder each time.

Stop replying to the same stupid faggots every day. These are subhuman retards you're trying to "help". They just want to be good instantly, without any time investment. They're too fucked in the head to understand the "secret" is literally just practicing. Same way you get good at anything, violin, coding, woodworking, whatever. No, they just want the instant secret that lets them draw their anime girls right now. They don't enjoy drawing, they don't have the mindset to succeed. They are just one of the billion retards that will never accomplish anything, just stand in line at walmart, work a dead end job and die an alcoholic.

You yourself are a subhuman if you think that everyone can master highly qualified professions, especially programming, where mathematical and logical thinking is needed, a mathematical mindset,Therefore, not everyone, in principle, no matter how hard they try, will not be able to become a programmer if they have been backward in it for the whole school, the whole university and the university, the same with playing the violin, where you must have an innate sound and a developed idea of the correct movement of the bow. Remember your school, there were probably retarded people in it without any knowledge. With drawing as well, there are people on this board who are literally backward and restless to progress due to lack of talent and those who reach the /int/ level in a year

>especially programming, where mathematical and logical thinking is needed, a mathematical mindset
I'm hyper beg but will say that anyways. I've been working with programming for a while and this and drawing are at least half more about problem resolution than mathematical and logical thinking. And this doesn't feel that different from drawing from what I've tried so far. The differences are on concepts that people will get a gist on by experimenting and learning day a day.
>>7234273 has a point in there. I believe anyone can master programming, drawing, violin or whatever else if there's enough focus and dedication, but life circunstancies makes them lazy, or without time or energy to try. It's not something related to talent, but how immerse someone is on the learning in particular.
>>
People who say they were "self taught" and "just drew" are so incredibly dishonest with themselves

You didn't learn to draw the human form through mere trial-and-error
You looked it up, and just forgot where you learned it because you have ADD brain
>>
>>7234300

"self-taught" means finding the resources to learn by yourself, without having a teacher finding them for you.

"just draw" means "practice", "practice" means draw while analyzing what you're doing.

where is the dishonesty? is this some language barrier?

and wtf with always blaming ADD? who convinced you all that everyone has ADD?
>>
>>7234300
For the love of god use google, find a humanoid pic you like and start copying. It can be a pic, it can be an anime, it can be a fantasy race, but just start.

You learn languages by copying sounds and writing letters crudely
You learn sports by doing small exercises, and slowly start moving like the people who know
You learn to write by copying the same letters over and over and over in a calligraphy notebook

It's the fucking SAME, you have infinite knowledge in the palm of your hand, and all you can do is cry "wah wah wah why can't I instantly know how to draw" and when people post their drawing journey from 0 when they had just as much drawing skill as you, you start complaining about "talent"

Unironically subhuman behavior.

Talented children have been drawing/ programming/ playing the violin since childhood, even then they saw their talent and developed their abilities
>>
>>7234293
What the fuck are you talking about, to master programming, which means that mathematical thinking can only be done by someone who had abilities in mathematics, logic and algorithms, you are dishonest, you know yourself if you were engaged in programming, in your school everyone was talented mathematicians? Then I'll try to understand your point of view, but if not, then what the hell? Retards who are unable to evolve in the knowledge of mathematics cannot put it into practice through programming. It's the same with drawing, realizing this fucking perspective of a boxed pelvis and torso, retards without talent won't fit, it's all just crooked shit.
>>
>>7234321
>>7234365
Those who can overcome the stage of shit and move on to the stage of normality are talented faggots who do not understand what they continue and they succeed because they are talented, the Anon in that picture became low/int/ in a year, thanks to talent, talent is what drives and what makes evolution happen, talent is what makes one child remember the formula is the first time and can be studied further, thanks to the talent here, everyone was able to succeed. You will not be able to understand drawing without talent, you will not be able to understand mathematics without talent and you will not be able to learn to play the violin without talent, learn a foreign language, become a great football player, an eloquent speaker, a cook, a ship captain, a doctor if you are a retard untalented. THIS IS GENETIC DETERMINISM? SO WHY WOULD YOU DRAW?

I'm actually not that good on mathematics, and only got to develop logical thinking during the first years of college. The thing is, knowledge is not something you should absorb 100% into yourself, or is 100% needed into some set of skills. I've spent so much time programming actually that I've forgot basic mathematic stuff. My brother, that's getting into it even mocks me because of that. But all in all, my basic education was bad on that aspect, even after joining college. Getting into a job and being thrown a lot of responsibility and shit was what ended making me get my shit together and actually learning programming properly.

I think the same logic applies to mangakas, where their skill improves by having a fucking job and a schedule to put the end result together. The skill is developed by necessity.

I agree on development of logical thinking though, as being needed to master programming. However, that's not taught on schools in here at least. Funny enough, during my time of college, I've seen that mostly of people who were good into mathematics ended doing bad at programming. I believe they were too formulaic on what they did learn on school on math as a cooking formula that they became unable to do any problem solving. They wished to have it already done for them.

But anyway, there's also a point about emotional barrier stopping one from developing. And, if this thread is not a bait, I think that's actually the case. I mean, >>7234402 is freaking out...

Listen to what you wrote, you're a talented cunt, yes, I'm genetic garbage, as it became clear, but don't compare everything with everything, you entered a fucking college, got a fucking job, don't deny that you knew mathematics well at school and had developed logical thinking, you had no barriers because you're not like that retard like me, the word talent can ultimately be considered genes, weren't there any retards like me in your fucking school? I can't, it's too shitty, it's bad, it's bad that everything is like this, why did everything work out for everyone and they refuse?

it's not a problem with you having or not having a talent, it's a you problem, maybe if you stopped thinking about it in terms of talent and used your brain when you draw maybe you would be able to learn.

it's like wanting to learn mathematics, but being unable to learn that 1+1=2 and then go around saying that it's because everyone is talented in math.

I don't think you are an actual retard, tho, I think you just don't use your brain.

I seriously don't think he should stop drawing, on the other hand life is finite and if he feels that he is wasting his time, it's ok to move on and do something else in life that makes him happy.

I hate mathematics, I've been retarded in this since elementary school, it's ironic that at school my friend had a talent for it, he solved examples and problems faster than anyone, in college he was exempted from attending technical subjects and mathematics, this year he will go to university to become a programmer. Why is everyone not like my friend? Because I'm genetically dumber than him. It's absolutely the same with drawing. Why are you all denying it? In an ordinary school, different students have different academic performance, there are those who are at the top and those who are at the bottom, with drawing as well. Genes determine the further ability to perceive, understand and remember information, in any field, genes are what people learn successfully, effort if you are genetically unable to understand mathematics is useless. I am genetically unable to understand either mathematics or drawing, I was damn wrong to think that drawing is different, because there is no need for mathematical thinking, but no, everything is worse, everything is much worse. The funny thing is that my friend denies that he has any innate data, saying that he liked to study all this mathematical shit since childhood. Exactly, because he had a predisposition to it.
>>
>>7234545
Mathematical mindset, genes, talent, different words denoting one thing - an innate ability to understand mathematics, or another ability to succeed in something, I do not have it. People are unequal, learning means unlocking the potential of your genes and if your genes are bad, your drawings will also be bad and you will not be able to draw better, you will not be able to evolve. Genetically determinism is the determinism of your abilities, I will never be able to understand mathematics, someone will never learn to play the piano, someone will never become a programmer, etc. Genetic determinism is not about the fact that you develop and learn, it's about where the darkness comes through which you cannot cross.

>>
>>7234782
Genetic determinism ends a long and fascinating, or maybe a short and hateful, pencil-on-paper journey. The realization that you are worse and others are better is the first stage, the realization that people are born with the genes of great artists and are able to move on and others end up on fucking, cursed, infinitely crooked, infinitely ugly, unnecessary, rubbish boxes is the 2nd stage, accept their genes and accept that it's over this is the third stage, it's over in terms of drawing, mathematics and many other skills that almost everyone has, but you don't, it's a shame to talk about it and it's scary to admit it. It's just the way it should probably be, people are unequal, but some hotties are very unequal and it's just dark
>>
>>7234813
You're absolutely right. This is why artists are so evil.
First, they know they have talent, and flaunt it constantly by making great art.
Second, they try to pass it off as hard work instead of inherent genetic greatness, giving the masses the illusion of earned skill and to justify being paid.
Third, they convince the untalented that THEY TOO can work hard to reach their level, knowing full well that they will only waste their life. They do this for no other reason than amusement because artists are ontologically evil.
But worry not. In the future, the brilliant and extremely handsome revolutionary Sam Altman will save us all from the artist menace. Do the right thing, anon. Donate your money to OpenAI today.

>preferrebly something simple
What is a simple subject in the context of drawing? Everything seems more or less equally impossible, save for rocks and trees, which seem even more impossible than everything else despite inexplicably sometimes being referred to as easy subjects.

I thought that maybe cardboard boxes would be easy, but they're extremely complex when I sit down and take a look at them. I don't know what to do with all that visual information. None of it suggests to me any way that it could be communicated with lines.

I don't have a functional drawing process, so the best I can do is make a series of wild guesses regarding where lines should be placed. The end result is then an indecipherable mess, so I can't even tell which guesses, if any, were correct. The only thing thing that I can really even try to do correctly is the subject's silhouette, since bounding that with lines doesn't rely on guesswork. I can get good results with that part with sufficient time and effort, but that doesn't make for much of a drawing.

>Does it look accurate? Why or what not? What differences can you spot?
I'm not entirely clear on what accuracy means in the context of drawing. Drawings don't really seem to have all that much in common with their subjects. They seem more like an abstract means of communication than an actual representation, unlike paintings and sculptures.

I can make mental measurements well and place lines where I intend, but I struggle to figure out where I should be trying to place lines in the first place. Getting that wrong, at least to the extent that I currently do, doesn't make the right answer any more clear to me.

>>7234782
Drawing is unique in that it seems like no one can really communicate the process, though. Most resources aimed at beginners don't even try.

Leibniz formula is an example of when darkness comes in the study of mathematics through my genetic determinism. This is the end, I was a retard before this formula, but after it was over, the perspective and curves of the box and the shapes consisting of them are analogous to the Leibniz formula, in drawing everything ended much earlier
>>
I have talent. How do I start drawing?
>>
>>7234968
So you gave up instead of studying the formula?
Dude, you're just a loser looking for an excuse to blame something besides your laziness. You just proved you knew something I didnt, and that's because you bothered to learn something I didn't.
If you really are so incompetent you cannot learn anything then you wouldn't be out and about in society. Get back to studying.
>>

>>
>>7235010
I do not know and do not understand the Leibniz formula, only its name, and before that there are heaps of everything in mathematics. I'm not in society, I've been sitting in the same room for years without going outside. I'm just constantly looking at this board and that's it, without genes I can't understand either drawing or mathematics, all this is just impossible
>>

You knew it's name, therefore you are capable of learning something. Unless you want to claim you were born knowing those words you are just too lazy to bother studying.
If you can figure out how to go onto 4chan and whine on /ic/ you can figure out how to use a pencil on paper
And no, there is no 4chan gene so don't try to use that excuse

Weird blackpill semi-trolling reply bait
They were just bored and wanted an active thread to fuck around in so they made a “talent” thread which is just the /ic/ equivalent of the blackpill
Which is essentially just saying that some people are naturally better at some things which is true
But the idea that just because you are not naturally talented means that it is impossible for you to become proficient at it is retarded
Any human being who does not have an actual neurological deficiency of some kind can become impressively good at drawing with a few years of dedicated and disciplined well-strategized training
That last part is where most people fuck up
They either dont practice enough, or they waste their time practicing in inefficient ways
This can cause some people to legitimately lose hope and give up
The OP of this thread is not one of those people

It's strange to accuse me of left-wing trolling, it seems like the left, just like you all in the thread, are shouting about "just draw, just try and everything will work out", most of all I was alerted by believers that everyone can understand mathematics as well as programming, some people are stupid, they don't understand anything, each student learns information differently, and some of them break through the bottom. This is the leftmost branch that I have seen, you are trying to convince me that with effort people achieve, I say that they are able to achieve this or that from birth, sometimes everything is very bad

It's all mental anon. You could try hypnosis therapy. Take hypnosis sessions with a professional, to program your inner self to "think as an artist". To unlock whatever that is that makes a person to draw all day like an obsessive autist.
Or ask chatgpt to come up with a therapy text, and make an AI voice generator to read it for you. If you can unlock your head, who knows what you can achieve.

I unironically recommend the show to Draw Manga series for total beginners. It breaks down its lessons in approachable and fun ways. You can learn how to draw more realistically once you’ve built up confidence. Find artwork you like and using sheer paper draw over it trying to break down the shapes and construction lines.

I don’t recommend the box drawing challenges. It makes learning to draw boring when it should be fun.

Nice thing about this technique (I forget what it's called) is it sort of trains you to also draw from observation in a bareback way
Get used to copying images with this kinda grid and you can start imagining those lines over subjects in real life. I guarantee it will improve your accuracy more than just looking for horizontal and vertical alignments or counting heads.
I think this is because estimating angles and inclinations with your eyes is easier than estimating distances.

This is not nearly as bad as you made it sound, i was thinking you are incapable of drawing a line the way you were talking.

Gently erase the drawing so that you can still see it and go over the reference drawing again, take note where there are deviations, try fixing those, try to avoid patting lines this time around and pick your lines with more confidence.

If you have to ask this, you can be certain there is no talent in you.
Fortunately, after 10.000 hours of drawing the talent will appear.

Okay, so I'm the guy who drew the pic on the right.

I want to debunk this whole "muh talent" bullshit. Some people have seen my post before in /beg/ wanting to improve and abd get critique on my work. And I haven't made a lot of progress in the few years that I've picked up this hobby? Do you want to know why? It's consistency.

The reality is I don't draw every day. I draw very sporadically. Sometimes I'll draw 10 hours a day, sometimes I won't draw for months. I pretty much didn't draw at all during 2022. I do practice fundies, I do try and watch tutorials, but I don't grind. I draw very casually. I do want to improve of course, but I'm not busting my ass putting the hours in like other artists. That's why I'm still /beg/. Is talent real? Yeah. There are some people who can put the same amount of work I have and still be much better. The ideas however that it's talent why my shit is still /beg/ is stupid. It's work, I don't put in the work because it's a side thing I enjoy doing. I was taking it seriously as a something I wanted to do for a career a few years ago but decided to keep it a hobby which honestly makes it more enjoyable for me. I made pic related literally two days later which is a clear improvement. I know my stuff is still /beg/ but I'm not making excuses about it. I don't put in the time, that's the main thing. I'm definitely not as talented as others who have an easier time learning art, and I'll never be Raphael, but quit using my shitty /beg/ art to make excuse for yourselves.

God this whole conversation has made me want to get gud simply to end this discussion.
>>
how do I draw without spending hours drawings?
>just draw for 30 minutes
thats not enough time to finish anything. I can barely sketch a body in that time
I don't want to draw all day because its mentally exhausting. Its like calculating physics equations for hours. I can't take a break either because going on break makes me tired, even if I draw for one second. Its psychological.

Another proof of talent, this time the genes are even stronger. The level of the right drawing was achieved in 1 year and 7 months, I'm not trolling, I'm completely serious, everything really begins to make sense, the anon on the right is even more talented than the left anon, this is what I always talk about, genetic determinism allows you to go through the entire path of drawing freely, damn why is that, why are they so lucky

Two weeks. I've been drawing crooked boxes, crooked people for two weeks, and perspective has become the end for me. I know what you're going to say, but it doesn't make sense, a year will pass, two years, three, I won't achieve improvements, because even if you remove talent, genes, genetic determinism as terms, as something that really exists, there still exists an incomprehensible moment in your reality, in the perception of your consciousness of certain aspects that simply cannot be accepted by your mind. The child unconsciously accepts letters, more consciously numbers, he repeats words after others, he develops, his consciousness freely absorbs everything new, but the further his consciousness goes deeper into this world, the more it loses its freedom, it loses it because of moments and things that it cannot accept, this is expressed in ideas, thoughts, actions, what will eventually form morality, but morality is formed partly by will, intellectual abilities are deeper, consciousness exposes the impossibility of perception, understanding of some things, individually and to varying degrees, even after attempts to understand them. And so in high school, when two students look at a formula, one does not see anything, and the other looks through it, understanding all its parts, understands the meaning of the formula, its essence. Here we can clearly draw a parallel with the past, because as easy as it is to master basic skills, it is as difficult as it is impossible for the formula to manifest itself in consciousness. The greatest achievement is to fill your consciousness with external knowledge about the world, but due to the ephemerality of certain knowledge for everyone, not everyone can do this.

You are scared of failure and of taking responsibility for your choices. You are talking yourself out of it with your little pep talk about genes, because the mere possibility of failure is too scary for you, so you give up without trying. And you came here to get reassurance, you want people to tell you that you made the right choice, because you are too scared to take responsibility for your choice, it's less scary to share the responsibility with others. All of it is typical coward behavior.
