Whats your life's biggest regret? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGbvhyTZXfs&pp=ygUJ6rmA7KCV6riw>My biggest regret is not learning art from Kim Jung Gi. I lived near where he teached when I was young and I wanted to learn art. But my parents said I don't have any knack at drawing and I will starve to death if I don't choose the Econ/business path. I got into top univ with that kind of major but had to drop out because I was ill. Have been receiving neetbux for 18 years and I am a permabeg. After being ill I became so lazy I only draw 0~3 hours a day. I was able to study 15 hours a day when I was in high school. Imagine learning from Kim Jung Gi for 15 hours a day for 3 years. I would have been at least /int/.But the truth is I can't even copy the cubes correctly.I am so depressed nowadays. Can anyone tell me how to get fun while drawing cubes?
giving up drawing 17 years ago and only picking it properly up this year again. at least i'm back again and i have lots to catch up on.
Not knowing about anatomy studies and life drawing in high school.
>>7723817>Whats your life's biggest regret?I don’t know, but my biggest art-related one is not studying the fundamentals consistently. Because I flip-flopped from one to the other, and went long stretches of time ignoring them outright, I’m still a /beg/ after ten years. My second regret is related to the first: I took the “just draw” advice literally and just drew mindlessly. I’d put on music and would draw 10-20 heads in one sitting, even though it should have been clear that no substantial gains were being made.. Most of this was symbol drawing - sticking on floating features onto forms that I very poorly understood. Also, I further crippled my progress by trying to draw things from imagination (pic related) that I hadn’t really observed, which translated, again, to more symbols.
I could have been fluent in Japanese by 2012 but i spent those years trolling koohi forums.
>>7723817I began drawing about four years ago. Back in middle school, I used to draw a lot, especially anime. But one day, my art teacher made me tear up my anime drawing and throw it in the trash. That moment really discouraged me, and as a result, I stopped drawing for about seven or eight years. i should have keept drawing
I guess my biggest regret would be giving up drawing when I had the largest amount of free time, I was 14 and I was drawing so much kingdom hearts and pokemon but my brother screamed in my face telling me if I don’t plan on being the next Miyazaki makin ghibli films I need to give up, now 23 after suicide attempt, moms paying my credit card debt and letting me live with her as I do short night classes weekly for a cert, I’ve got 4 free days a week and I’ve been playing around with csp but I’m hesitant to full send into drawing again due to that horrible memory of getting yelled at, 23 feels too old to try for anything
>>7723817>Whats your life's biggest regret?Not starting earlier
>>7723817>Whats your life's biggest regret?Not dropping out in my first year and having sunk cost as a result
ultimately, i'm the one holding the gun to my head, not anyone elsethings can go wrong in life and you can be unjustly wronged in so many ways, but when i am by myself, i don't need to make myself an enemy our brains seek stimulation, even if that means encountering and running with negative emotions, so put that shit on a leash and be mindful of itafter internalizing that, i am much happier these days the first step is drawing, and the step before that is having a good mental game
Playing WoW for ten years and ending up as a NEET. Now that I am already at the bottom I might as well just have fun drawing.
>>7723817>Whats your life's biggest regret?my life's biggest regret is not succeeding in suicideif you mean related to drawing, i have none
>>7723817i have none, as i realize all the bad things in my life happened because i didnt have luck when being born
>>7723853lol your gonna let your soul rot because your faggot brother yelled at you one time?
>>7723867/thread
>>7723853>23 feels too old to try for anythingYou are in for a far far greater regret in a couple years if you don't change this stupid mentality.

These threads are so stupid. It's always a bunch of retards "regretting" they wasted time and should have drawn when they didn't yet are not drawing right now and have drawn less than 1 hour total this year.That's just cope.
>>7723897wow, me too anon.
As long as you're alive regret is just a practice in mental masochism
>>7723908Regret is useful as a teacher, cruel as a roommate
>>7723853>23 is doodBro, that mindset is going to kill you. I'm 29, I started drawing again after roughly 10 years of absolute slacking. When I started again October last year, I could BARELY draw a fucking cube. The image speaks for itself. Sit your ass down, pick up a pen, then read and copy whatever you see in any book about drawing. It's literally that easy.
>>7723817>Whats your life's biggest regret?Not working hard enough to make Gatsu vs Zodd animation before Miura Died.
>>7723817Growing older, we don't have a massive amount of time on our hands. That being said, fuck thinking about becoming a "master". The 10.000 hour rule is bullshit, and you only need roughly 2000 to become very proficient at something. Drawing for 1 hour twice a day with deliberate practice will drastically improve your skills than ass-blasting a 8 hour non-stop session of drawing. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you're no older than at most 30. Even if it takes 10 years to reach a proficient level, you'd not going to die at 40. Believe me, art is a skill that becomes progressively more and more enjoyable, like with any creative skill. Also, a good advice in general will be to do something else besides drawing, like going for a run. Besides being good for you, it will also help you mentally in the long run.My only regret is not taking drawing seriously sooner than I have.
>>7723954damn nice anongoing from a cube to that in a year? i'd like to see the stuff you made in between.
Learning to draw instead of dancing and/or piano
>>7723954>>7723853zoomers will never amount to anything because you are too stupid.Just trace AI or copy anime already
>>7723954Nice work, anon. Here's to another year of progress.
Blah blah just draw.
>>7723817Don't have one.
>>7723853That's not cool. Sorry your brother is so insensitive and possibly sadistic. I don't know why anyone would try and do stuff like that other than wanting to control the outcome of a life or inflict pain or being severely emotionally stunted. Either way I can relate. A lot of us grew up with similiar people. You're not alone.Still you are ONLY 23 years old. I know you're at that age where things are confusing. Feeling like it's over, you're late in the game, getting old. I had those thoughts too at that age. I think it's natural. But it is a trick of the mind. Reality is you're still just starting out. You have the world ahead of you and if you want to become a master at drawing you can achieve it. I am 35. I started taking it seriously mid to late 20's. Actually made the most progress in my 30's. lol. Don't worry about time. You have a lot of it. Most people waste their 20's and then look back in regret. Take yourself seriously now and your future self will be grateful.If you're stuck in a rut you can kind of force it by doing anatomy studies, gestures, practising. I often pull up pinterest and go crazy sketching gestures and doing value/color studies.After doing this for a while I losen up and typically it leads to me doing something from imagination.Maybe be kind to yourself. Meditation. Breathwork. Try and figure out ways to strengthen your belief in yourself and to maintain healthy routines in order to reach your goals. Clear boundaries with people who prey on your vurnerabilities/ no toxic people. When you start taking yourself seriously people will try and sabotage you. You will be tested. Trust your intuition and emotions. If someone repeatedly makes you feel drained, tired, exhausted and numb odds are you're better off cutting them off. Especially if you've tried talking to them about it.Other than that please don't give up on yourself. I believe in you.Also pay no mind to the AI bugman. These parasites have their own twisted agendas.
>>7724017Thanks. Most of it is not that interesting, though. I'd wager that 80 percent of it is studies from books, and a majority of the rest are studies from reference like this one. There are a few drawings, but it's not many, and most are a few weeks old. I'm going to practice a lot more until I'll do it regularly, as it's just to showcase for myself how far I've come.>>7724143K. You go ahead and do that, then. Give up.>>7724170Thanks, man. Here's to another year for you too.
>>7723851>But one day, my art teacher made me tear up my anime drawing and throw it in the trashDidn't happen.
I'm not gonna sadpost here because there isn't much of a point but I'll post some cope instead.I just turned thirty one. Basically a fossil by the online artist community standards. When I was younger I wanted to work in the games industry but ended up working for the military then the govt instead to put a roof over my head. I never stopped drawing though. Even when it was -22f out and I was freezing my dick off I still kept drawing even in the field or at the very least writing down ideas. I ended up falling behind the average industry skill curve though. Especially compared to my art school friends. Its hard to compete against people with 14 hours a day of unrestricted drawing under their belt, especially nowadays.I ended up working on my projects and am currently making a game. As long as you're enjoying doing it then it doesn't matter. Could I go work as a junior layout artist with a bunch of 22 year olds? Yeah probably but I'm making double what seniors make now where I get two to three hours a day to draw( my work lets me bring my copics set) get to draw at night and work on my game.My biggest regret is wasting a fuckload of time making portfolios for jobs I couldn't even work because it didn't pay my rent. 21 dollars an hour in Vancouver just doesn't cut it
>>7723817You are good tho.
>>7723897I did this, and then I got sober and started drawing recently. Life is better now
>>7724379We get it Brad Rigney, drinking is bad.

Do you think you know your stuff now?
