i stopped comparing myself to lesser and higher skilled artist.
I see work, i observe it and try to learn as much as possible, especially what it does good and what it does bad.
It's mental drawing.

Oh yeah. Im always telling myself about how I’ll share and send out mh stuff whem I’m ready but I dont. Im working a job that sucks up so much time and ive been wanting to quit for so long, as ive got enough money to last for a year, just making art, but I think im too scared to. I iust wanna make comics all day but im scard im throwing away a good job.

But then i see artist my age or younger *making it* and it sucks. Im 23 and im already a soulless goyim, stuck in my wage cage

>A goyim
Larp larp larp sahur

i see artist younger than me and making it, i dont really care

>>8020573
You dont understand what i do and where i work. Im surrounded by old people at a council, and they do nothing al day. Im one of the IT guys and these people are such goyim, all braindead leftists. I dont have a problem with the left, but I mean that these people are brainless, and they turn 2 hour jobs into week long problems. If i have to go to another dei conference or aboriginal understanding meeting im gonna lose my mind

>but I mean that these people are brainless, and they turn 2 hour jobs into week long problems.
these people are smarter than you because this is what you do in corporate. the goal isn't efficiency unless you're saving lives. most of the time you're just pushing out a product and you need to justify your salary so you stretch out everything, even if it's just sending an email

>>8020559
Work ethic is a skill in itself. Just because you are good at drawing doesn't mean you must have great work ethic.

op y’know you’re right, i’m self-destructively sucked down by plausibility, so i’m gonna make something crazy difficult this sec and just say fuck it i’ll populate it with whatever fore-mid-and-background props and enviro features slip off my pen and the poor subjects’ll just have to swim in it like alice in her wonderland.

>>8020559
yeah im a studycel stuck in my comfort zone
after all these years i've forgotten what I even want to draw

>>8020589
Oh I know, thats what I do, but i havent phrases it correctly, in that they are try hard at the same time.

In that if im late to work by like 5 minutes theyll make fun of me for it, and they note when im late from lunch, even a few minutes. Its not that they are purposely slow, i see them typing all day, they are actually just slow boomers who talk about how lazy kids are these days.

Like i see people online talking about stereotypical boomers, and they are literally that.

These are the archives people im talking about as IT is in the same room as them. My boss is chill and doesn’t give af but thats cause hes a millennial

Its funny you post jake shields. Im super into mma and follow everyone. Pro fighters will repost the worrrrrrrst drawings of themselves. Theres multiple guys with good paying careers that are just copying photos in black and white acrylic on canvas and selling them for thousands. Some of the "artist posters" for ufc look pretty awful but people love them. I know I could do better but im too self conscious to even make an account

>>8020559
BASED JAKE

>>8020559
No, but I hope I'm that artist that made you feel that way

>>8020559
>You ever see an artist who's less skilled than you
There's no such thing, so I don't have to worry about it.

>>8020559
I post on /ic/, get no you's.

>>8020559
Stop comparing

Use these experiences to inspire you to be more ambitious.
Reach for the stars, and face-plant into the moon, and all that.

>>8020559
I used to draw more ambitious and fun things, but that was back before life broke me down. Now I'm over the hill and life is bleak so I can't draw anything fun anymore despite having the technical skill.

>>8020559
Yes, daily, and I don't know how to exit the loop.
