Do you think anyone can become adept at illustration if they just try hard enough?

Even a piece of shit howie like me? Will i really make it if i just work consistently?

It sounds too good to be true...

Observational drawing, like drawing from reference? Yes. Drawing from imagination? No. Most people don't draw from imagination, they sequence draw.

Any kind of drawing really.
I'd like to write and illustrate a comic but i've been procastrinating on drawing for literally years so it doesn't feel like even a distant possibility

It is

Nope. If you haven't done it by now you are never going to. You'd have to become an entirely different person, and doing that takes an extraordinary amount of work and change in your circumstances
>>
>>7905439
Yes, I do believe you can. It takes a lot of work, and like another anon said, it will take a change of character. You have to allow yourself to be shit without ragequitting, but still have a drive to be better. You will feel hopeless sometimes, and you will get frustrated, but you have to have the character to continue, to learn, to analyze, to act.
There are a thousand skills to learn with drawing, So it's not gonna be easy. But I do think anyone, who REALLY wants to do it, can.

Just plan it out.

Do roughs of everything. Become strategic in your layouts, and unique in its look. If it is a public domain story, then its art direction should make it stand out. And don't think of Goodness or Badness with applying your art to the project : use Does it Work as your touchstone. Look at greeting cards and children's books, and deduce why these things made it to shelves and what qualities prompted their manufacturing.
You may not find much Loomis, but you will see simple yet effective styles selling ideas and telling stories.

I'm only 21. I have been doomposting about it since i was like 15 tho.
>>7905494
I'll try it and idk if i can do it but also i'll try changing my mindset too. I've just never been good at anything at all so i dont have the mental skills necessary to easily believe i could suceed.
>>7905503
I see i see...
A lot of stuff to figure out.

Are you capable of basic learning? Even complex concepts are built from basics and made up of smaller concepts tied together. The fact that you are able to read and write shows you have the capacity.

And what have you done in those six years? Were you drawing? Learning? Practicing? Even if you do nothing, the time will pass anyways.
Remember that it's ok to failure - it's part of the process. Failure shows us what we need to improve. If you review your failures and improve on them, even slowly, you will eventually become good.

anon i regret to tell you that you're talking to phantoms
this isn't his drawing, it's some sperg who latched onto it and has just been reposting it over and over crying about how he can't make it while pretending to be the original poster who doesn't even come here or draw anymore

he'll deny it and gaslight but it's the honest truth, the original is from my friend who finished med school recently and gave up 4chan and drawing a very long time ago
just don't bump the thread
>>
>>7906019

>>
>>7906035

>>7906076
