You ARE improving, right? Look at how much this actual artist improved in less than 3 years.

Probably not.

no?

>>8003608
I haven't improved for a year
>>
>>8003608
My hand-eye coordination is a lot better than it was when I was a little kid, and I eventually learned how to copy drawings pretty well. Other than that, I've never improved.
>>
i dont improve because i barely draw anything lol and i get fatigued fast i have to take breaks after a fucking warm up lol it never evan began here
>>
>>8003608
its not fucking fair that people can just improve and get good at art. I was talented so I didnt have to improve much but art is the only thing I'm good at. Meanwhile normies with full lives acn just waltz into my domain and practice for a few years and pass me. FUCK THIS FUCKING WORLD

>>8003608
I am no longer a teen and the easy and welcoming feeling of drawing has gone away, but I am improving... Slower than before.

Have you seen how generic the art on Pixiv is? It's the same monolithic patterns repeated over and over on an industrial scale. It's sickening.

Japs aren't individuals with inherently exceptional abilities; they just lack the will to think independently, which allows them to follow external dogma very efficiently.

do you think what you wrote comes across as anything other than critical levels of cope?
>>
>>8003756
Probably because you waste all of your energy gooning. You should try not doing that.

It's your problem if you see the end goal of artistic self-development as becoming a comfortable carbon copy of external commercialized patterns.

That's why the modern rise of artificial intelligences makes you so uncomfortable: they are a reflection of your own "ontological passivity", the very condition you are ashamed to admit.

you are not as interesting as you think you are

Personally, I find the idea of not licking "yellow anuses" quite interesting.

My wording is usually metaphoric͠äutistic. I’m referring to the Tezuka-Ukiyo'e soft pop͠'wer that has p͠œrn͠eated the west and has, to some extent, become the de facto aesthetic language of the internet.

It is pathetic how the west collectively venerates yellow dicks and their god-good smeg͠dogmas.

So have you made it work yet?

I'm always improving but at the same time my mental health becomes worse and worse. Being good at art doesn't help you much when you don't even have the energy to sit down and draw/paint
>>
>>8004024
Even if you are good enough, you still have to draw the thing. Every moment spent sitting decaying your body and every line grinding away at your wrist
>>
>locked in in 2024
>haven't improved as much
it's a bit demoralizing but i know i didn't really draw in 2025 and even this year i've just been busy with life and mental illness
>>
>>8003608
Idk
I've plateaued with my current level
I should do real excercizes now
Like drawing figures
>>
>>8003608
Drawing isnt really that hard.

No, I haven't been drawing much in the last few years, so I'm just as mediocre as I ever was.

I have no idea if I'm improving, I changed medium in 2025 so my drawings look different, but I can't say if I actually got better
>>
>>8004028
>Even if you are good enough, you still have to draw the thing
That's just what I said...
>>
>>8003797
And you would kill to be able to reproduce those monolithic patterns. But you can't. You'll never be Japanese, permabeg.
>>
>>8003608
Nah I'd need to actually draw to improve, instead I mostly complain about talent and being born without the right genes and being too stupid to improve and about I should just give up on art. Except I won't actually give up because I still want to become good at art and just continue to be bitter instead
>>
it's more of a side-grade for me
>>
>>8003608
for someone whose entire identity is drawing, that's very little improvement made in a 2 years' time
but everyone here is a retard who can be tricked with basic rendering and they let twitter likes pressure them into accepting whatever reality OP shits out

You are regressing but its because you are painting more.
