Look -- if you don't have talent, give up on art. You're wasting your time.You're going to grind for the year, for what? To be able to draw 1% better than you did before you started grinding. Meanwhile someone with talent? 50% in a month. And how many years have you been at it even? You're nowhere where you want to be. You probably won't make it. This isn't a hobby for (You). Go find something else to do.
>>7949897If I'm Chris chan of art, then let me be the most hardworking Chris chan ever. Me can be a loser. But me know no give up.
>>7949897The problem is you say "talent" when really you mean "skill" crossed with "genetic predisposition towards thinking in 3D" and "consistency" and "time spent drawing".Anyone can draw and become good at it. The brain is a flexible muscle. The problem is that most people aren't very good at teaching themselves and the practical way of drawing has been lost.Ignore the haters or the bait, anons.Here is all you need to do:the first month:>grind shapes and forms>do step by step tutorials aimed at kids>avoid chickenscratch, do continuous line drawingThen start drawing cuboid and spherical forms from life: furniture, toys, glassware, etc. Then start copying comics, film shots, anything, really.the General Process:>do blind contours and gesture studies using live models or photographs>draw the subject from memory>collect references and break them down into shapes and forms>observe the references, then hide them and draw from memory, then draw while looking at them
>>7949897>Meanwhile someone with talent?>50% in a month.Oh, so ITT we're talking about things that didn't happen? I guess we should talk about your mom loving you, because it's clear no woman has ever held affection for you.
>>7949897I could barely draw when I started, now I can do convincing illustration and I think I’m a of a fairly common intelligence. Begs jus need to try different things and not be stubborn
>>7949928>The brain is a flexible muscleDoesn't apply for anyone
>>7949992Don't be a quitter, anon. Anyone can develop their brain as long as they read plenty of books, exercise constantly, eat a healthy diet, engage in thinking (as well as thinking about thinking), and have a positive can-do attitude.Everyone has limits, yes. But you'll never know what your limits are unless you work hard and study. And who knows, perhaps you may even surpass them...
