Well, /ic/? What causes stagnation?
>>7915496I draw what i think i see and not what i actually see.
>>7915496Once you overcome an initial hurdle, it is very easy to establish and fall into a comfortable pattern and never again move out of it.If you don't challenge yourself, you don't improve. If you only draw what is easy for you to draw, you won't improve. But that is exactly what many artists do.
>I wish I'm a scientistThis is why this nigga isn't gonna be a scientist
complacency
>>7915594.....nigga did you even read the screencap?
talent>REEEEEEEEEE3EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEcry about it
>>7915496Spending time on /ic/ doing anything but downloading resources/references
You tell me you’re the one who told me I’m stagnated.
I'm more interested in how some artists develop a beautiful soulful style as beginners only to throw that straight into the dumpster as their technical skills improve, and their mature art looks soulless and bland as fuck
>>7915659Examples?
>>7915496I'd say it's a lack of trying to push themselves. They draw what they're comfortable with, in the same ways, over and over.If you want to improve, you need to increase the weights of what you're lifting, or in non-metaphorical terms, you need to draw things you find difficult and work those artistic muscles.
a job
>>7915496yes i do know...it's called genetics
>>7915496the funny thing about this is the entire field of education revolves around what goes into how people learnyet this lazy ass will ignore that
im pretty lazy
>For self learners mostly:Comfort zones Learning the wrong skills due to lack of suitable instruction or Cherry-picking topics while self-learning to avoid difficulty Endless play - no structure to learning because they’re in charge of their own progress.Theres a slew if reasons why these hit artists- lack of time, people skills, self esteem and confidence in oneself. It’s all unnecessary chatter though. The speed at which u advance only matters if ur trying to profit or become a famous artist. The chances of that are minuscule for most, so they come off as a bit of a cringe faggot in my opinion. The schizos here understand what its really about.
>>7915496Not having talent>>7915571A bad artist doesn't have easy things to draw
One artist studies and wants to improveThe other artist draws the same shit over and over again
>>7915602Nigga aint gonna be no scientist nigga
>>7915729I believe this is not chatgippity since you misspelled "of" so thx
how do you learn the wrong skills that's what scares me most
>>7915496>What causes stagnation?a lack of desire to get better
>>7915496this was studied thousand times before brian eno has a good summary
This isn't exclusive to just art lmao. There are plenty of studies that focus on aptitude, growth mindset, ability to adapt, etc. Applies to any skill or craft really. Not taking into account actual geniuses or prodigies as those are outliers. Social media seems to be obsessed with appearing like a genius or prodigy, but the truth is those people are just on a level onto their own and you can't truly understand it until you compare someone who has a natural high aptitude to a genius. Then you're like, oh, so that's what a genius is.
Sometimes I think I'm stagnating because I barely draw weekly but at least I do look at some drawings I made 4 years ago and they make me cringe. I have improved, now if only I could make myself draw hours daily.
>>7915742> a bad artist doesn't have easy things to drawI would strongly disagree. But it all depends on what a bad artist is in your eyes.
>>7915496cognitive adaptation and flexibility
>>7915496The answer is simpleIt's satisfaction
>>7915496>>7916368>>7915729Hare syndrome = lack of work ethic. Someone who is truly dedicated to the craft will constantly look at their own work for errors or room for improvement. Artists with a strong work ethic were either built different from birth in terms of being autodidacts by personality or had it drilled into them by their parents, and that includes artists who had good genes.There are way too many artists who were born with a knack for drawing but had a dogshit work ethic for non-art subjects, so when they either draw less or become self-employed, they stagnate because now they actually have to draw to pay the bills rather than draw for fun.
>>7915496this mofuck never heard of IQ?
>>7916368Extremely off topic but this art and set up is wasted on fucking football
>>7916523It really isn't about soccer. It's like how tomorrow's joe isn't really about boxing. Those things are just what happen in the plot.
>>7916538Interest in Team sports are a good indicator of competitive spirit, artists that can’t understand the strategies and concepts within sport are generally in art for aesthetic or identity reasons. Sport and competition is a natural human instinct, and people who scoff at it are dysgenic parasites that make furry art or sonic OCs and complain they were “bullied”
>>7915496artist plateau is resolved by being critical of your work and looking for ways to improve it. most artists reach a state of "good enough" and stagnante because they're no longer being critical of their work, they're fine with it. and so they can go for years without any noticeable improvement, just following the same procedure as they always use.
