>started at 27Hey guys I'm turning 25 tomorrow and I'm having a mid-life crisis.Are there any examples of artists who made something out of themselves later in life?
Not just pen and paper, anything from 3D to music even science / tech. I just want to know what's the limit of neuroplasticity.>offtopic/ic/ nerds are probably the most experienced with this kind of thing, the other boards are too busy discussing porn
>>7896356What's making it? Can you get good? Sure. Most people are limited by freetime, family, and the physical neccessity of laziness. Most determined people don't reach the summit of what you're asking regardless of age.
>>7896353Yuko ShimizuNow shut the fuck up about your dumbass excuses.
>>7896371>Yuko ShimizuShe went to a prestigious graphic design school retard
>>789638Different Yuko Shimizu.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuko_Shimizu_(illustrator)She went to SVA. At 35. After dropping a successful office career and moving to the other side of the world.
Van Gogh didn't start doing art until he was 27 and you have thousands more books and teachers at your fingertips than he did.
>>7896353Grandma Moses
>>7896353Brad Rigney started at 29
>>7896810How is he? Last I read, he was extremely unwell.
>>7896821I don't know didn't even know he was sick, I just know of him from artist podcasts I'd listen to.
Neuroplasticity is a meme, you're constantly learning new stuff all the time without even thinking about it. It would be impossible to function otherwise. You'll probably never be one of "the greats" if you start after you're 30 but consistent practice will still make you better than 90% of /beg/
>>7896836>neuroplasticity is a meme>but also you will never be great if you start late and you should consider being better than some but not all of the beginner thread at some point haha???
>>7896353Cutesexyrobots
>>7896810THIS IS A PAINTING???
>>7896353I started 3 months ago. It's still beg but I'm able to draw figures and stuff which is kinda daunting for begs
>>7896353drawabox
>>7897424yeah dude puts hours upon hours of work into rendering.
Dino being unable to draw traditionally fills me with hopewith enough liquify, blending mode layers, and time we can all make it
>>7899957No way this is real
>>7899957this is real, my sketches both digital and trad are abysmal, but once I get into the render/paint stage I can make shit work. I'm sure dino's underpaintings look like the right
>>7896353I started at 35, all it takes is a couple years of serious dedication if you don't have a mental illness, stop being a faggot
I can also believe it's real. Having the patience to spend the time to fix all your mistakes is different from being able to place everything correctly on the first try. That said, most of the time it's just these people lacking a procedure for traditional. You just have to do more preparation and planning instead of relying on fixing everything post.
>>7899957>pictured: 18 hours vs 5 minutesHe is clearly just fucking around on the right, but it's still a funny contrast. People think once you get good, you shit gold, but it actually still takes effort to even make one good sketch, just not as much. But 5 minutes is not enough time to make anything that will consistently wow people, especially normies who just want to see some rendering.If you look at his profile, he clearly knows how to sketch but he also has some wonky sketches mixed in there (digital). It's not a traditional vs digital thing, but an effort thing.
>>7900003its true those were quick sketches but he was paid to do those. Maybe he's also anxious drawing in front of people.
>>7899974Post your work
>>7896836the only new things I learn are different kinds of trauma. My brain just get beaten into the groudn by my environment so I can't learn anything constructive when I need to use all my brainpower to not kill myself
>>7896353how many quadrillions of boxes and bargue plates to reach this level at this age and at this speed?
>>7900049I don't want to be identified with this place
>>7897424No it’s a photo of an obese melon sized bat and a vampire
>>7896855because by 30 you are a 9-5 waige paying rent/mortgage and literally have no time for much else not because muh neurons or someshit
>>7896353No, you are a zoomer you will never do anything or produce anything of value.
>>7896353>Are there any examples of artists who made something out of themselves later in life?you should Google akirel aka camsel in distress . he tried really hard.you'll end up like him.
>>7905520is this supposed to be an insult? when did he start?
>>7899957>>7899967Actually its a lot more common than you think. There's a difference between spending couple mins on a sketch vs weeks if not years on a painting. But besides the obvious, lots of painters tend to be pretty bad draftsman because they're always visualizing things in shapes and froms so they have trouble when it comes to making lines. Line art is skill you have to practice for. Go check Rembrandt's sketches if u dont believe me. I honestly think Raphael is is like like the only artist who's godly in both painting and the line.
>midlife crisis at 25lmfao, do zoomers really? unbelievably pathetic generation.
I have type 2 aphantasia I’m NGMI.
>>7905540>RembrandtNigga what. Rembrandt was a drawfag.
Who's that one comic book artist guy that started at 40 while working his 9-5 and ended up making it?
i've been drawing for years with no improvementsthere is no hope
>>7905540This is nonsense. Someone who can’t draw well, can not paint well. Also lol at mentioning Rembrandt in this context, he produced a metric fuckton of etches, which is pretty much drawing with a needle.
>>7905800>Someone who can’t draw well, can not paint well.whatever helps you sleep at night beg
>>7905813It's true. I'm a third year student at the Florence Academy of Art, even with 5 week poses, people can't take their long poses in painting any further than their two-day small pencil drawing. Painting and Drawing are not distinct animals. They're both drawing except with one you draw with a brush instead.And line drawing btw is king.
>>7905653They're highly infantilized, dopamine addicts who cruise through school with a care because teachers are pressured not to fail students, and even if they fail the school will still push them to the next grade. So what do you think happens when they hit real life?>>7905843It was wild to me when I was in school how agonizingly slow some people would work. 6 hour pose and they would only have a pencil lay in done.
>>7906064I don't see anything bad with people drawing slowly assuming they actually finish their pieces. The important bit is making finished pieces after all. Though I admit it came as shock to me when I heard that some people took actual days to finish even a basic bargue plate
>>7906064>>790609To me being slow shows a lack of skill because you depend a lot on fresh eyes and measuring devices. 6 hour pose and only a lay in I would DIE. My issue according to my final critique of the trimester was that apparently I'm being too fast, so I was asked to use bigger paper that in theory would take me more time to fillBut I'm fast because I've practiced TONS. and done hundreds of figures dedicating hours and hours. I draw confidently and check through measurements if I feel I need to.Actively working on a piece mean that you're measuring and measuring and measuring which is important, but inevitably shows a lack of hours spent drawing
>>7905540Pretty sure it's a universal "thing" in ateliers that drawing comes before painting. I hope you're also not implying Delacroix's sketches are somehow bad. Not the greatest take desu. Absolutely correct about Raphael though.
>>7905540
>>7896638what's more, van gogh most accomplished paintings were done in the last few years of his life
>>7906633He was only active for 10 years and died at 37
>>7896638Van Gogh wouldn't last a week in my shoes, but I'd paint way better things if I lived during a time when the social contact made sense.
>>7896356It's a meme.
>started at 27>Hey guys I'm turning 25 tomorrow
>>7896353Urasawa has always drawn but he didn't plan or pursue to become a manga artist and graduated with a degree in economics.Also when he tried submit one of his stories to jump he was basically just told to fuck off.So he only really entered professional art work in his early twenties and didn't have his first (own) major published work until almost 30.
>>7897465that is indeed some pretty decent progress anon, good job
>Since I didn't know how to ink or really draw, I used Flash, which is vector drawing software (like Adobe Illustrator), for illustrations.If I'm reading this right, the guy who did Dofus/ Wakfu didn't start seriously until he was 25.
>>7910097will there ever be a single hub that will produce as many decent and successfull artists as flash and newgrounds?
