You draw every day and you keep going and you don't see any progress, the crabs appear and you keep going to show that they are garbage, but when it seems like you've succeeded you find that you're just starting, is this frustrating shit endless or does it end at some point????

Even if you get "good" and "make it", you'll still feel the same way.
People call it the treadmill. And no, it doesn't ever stop.

It ends when you accept failure as a first necessary step in the way to mastery. I enjoy when I do a good drawing, but you have the opportunity to learn more when you make a failed drawing.

Here's the truthpill anon. At some point you just stop caring. You stop caring about progress, about "improvement", about grinding everyday because some guy told you to.
>>
when you get good enough that your fundies are decent, drawing becomes 99% problem solving and thinking up things to draw. I actually miss being a beg and only worrying about how to achieve anatomy or something. You have a clear goal to measure against. But you can't grind appeal, you can't just become interesting if you aren't already. It takes me 5x as long to draw something now because I draw it quickly, and then spend hours tweaking it and adding effects and trying to make it better than my level.
>>

>But you can't grind appeal
oh no no no no westbros
>>
>>7425631
its not about westoids, I'm just a boring person with no human element. I only draw because there aren't many activities that can be done alone anyways.
>>
>>7425635
You're speaking like an anime character anon.
But either way, I was implying that if you drew the only contemporary art worthwhile drawing this problem would be solved by itself.

I think you know what I'm saying but I wonder why you won't follow it.

But I see a lot of progress, even after just a few hours I'm a much better artist.

>That picrel
You guys unironically think that all anime art styles are moe garbage lmao.
Moe's art style like K-On! is based on baby, kid proportions, you know like big head, big eyes, small body, exactly like a baby.
You could replace that cat with a young girl in real life and it still works, Digimon Adventure animators went to the beach so they could draw kids from life.
Why not just draw their cats if anime girls are cats... I know that /ic/ "artists" are beglets and nodraws but Jesus Christ.

wrong. Male characters dont look like cats when they are drawn for female appeal.

female appeal is a theory like black holes and antimatter. Nobody has seen it personally and women won't tell us the truth.

I wish to earn some pocket money through comms by doing what i like in order to become the best santa in my family, still failing at that, but oh well. Try and try again i guess. Mybe i should start doin pron , like some extra fucked shit that will earn me a personal visit from lord Belial or some sick fuck like that . XD. Nah. Not yet anyways
>>
What's the alternative? Stacking shelves? Typing numbers into a computer? None of that shit means anything. At least drawing means something to me. Its hard and frustrating but it matters. If I'm not going to draw then I will just kill myself because I'm not working a pointless job for peanuts.

Isn't this one of the many images lolicons (read: pedophiles) use to defend masturbating to drawings of children?

Because i have goal to draw stuff i like.
That's all i need... i sucked, i suck and i will suck but non of that actually matters what matters is the goal and achieving it.

This, I get marginally better with the years, particularly I don't need as much effort to get going with something decent, but it doesn't matter because I just draw for myself. I rarely even share my work, it gets dumped in a folder and never touched again.

I'm an autist that has nothing much better to offer than my mediocre art that normies seem to like & it's satisfying for me to make art on the regular. That's really it, I've stopped chasing unattainable goals... for now
>>

Brother, they literally took a photo of a black hole. Antimatter tho, I agree.
>>
>>7430950
Yup same here i draw for fun and things i want to see.
>>
>>7431714
They didn't take a photo of anything. It's just radio data rendered into an image by computers. Scientists don't know shit

So... If a radar detects something, it shouldn't be taken seriously?

there are so many reasons op but mainly
>nobody's, and i mean NOBODY'S, making the content i want to make in the way i want to see it
that's probably making it worse, etc.) so what else do i have but art
>i want to make actual friends, but i want them to see the weird shit i'm into first so anyone who'd cringe at it later on in an relationship will be filtered out.
>other more time-consuming hobbies (stuff like gaming, not reading) are getting boring to me
>the stuff i really really want to do (travel, mainly) requires a fuckton of money that i just don't have right now

what the fuck is my clone doing on here?
>>
I do make progress but my work ethic sucks. I am just so lazy from depression. But then at the same time my chronic depression also made me who I am. Without it, I perhaps wouldn't even draw at all anymore.

no thanks. i don't wanna make generic no effort anime slop
