>want to learn how to draw at 27
>Even if I try super hard I wouldn't even be good until 29
>Most artists online are like 19
>Art communities are full of high schoolers and super young adults
What's even the point? To impress people who aren't even allowed to drink? I should've just started drawing in middle school, now it's too late..

>want to learn how to draw
That's the fucking point. Do you want to draw, or not?
>>
>>8076310
You really think you'll be good at 29?
Try to draw today, if tomorrow you are already making professional level artwork then good for you, if you are not I advise you to give up
>>
I really wish this retarded fucking frog would get banned on this already dying board. Not a single good threat featuring it has been made in years. It's always blatant demoralizing attempts that don't even attempt to be original anymore
>>
You are playing the game too faggot

Then fuck off

Draw. Then draw with your kids when you have 'em.
>>
>>8076310
You'll fit in. Your mentality hasn't grown much beyond that of a high schooler

>want to develop a skill
>developing the skill to my idea of a baseline proficiency takes a 2 years
>don't like having fun
>make the choice to never be good

there's nothing exclusive to the act of drawing that takes more effort than learning any other skill. enjoying the act, and sticking to a process / schedule is all you need to develop any skill.
>>
I dunno, quit then. What the fuck do you want? You bust your ass to catch up, you make do with lesser art skills and make it up with storytelling or something, or you do something else. Those are the options. You already know those are the options. Why are you here asking a dumb ass question?
>>

watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMPTyjl-jvc

you can still get zoomer girls with daddy issues
>>
>>8076310
You'll ask this again when you turn 30.
Just fucking do it man. At least you have the "want to draw" mindset. Unlike those zombies just doom scrolling all day on tiktok.

oh i remember this guy. there's always blackpillers in his comment section for some reason. i guess some incels have a grudge on him?
>>
>>8076532
Does it mean that there are people in the comment section under the video that try to cope with the fact they're the definition of the meme shown in the video?

Tbh, I don't think I'm too different from it and the video applies to me in a way. It's just that I'm aware of it and especially aware of how it works for me when it comes to drawing. I guess other skills are different because even doing the bare minimum in many other skills already makes you feel like you've reached something worthy, when in drawing you see immediately how far away you're from becoming an artist you genuinely would like to follow
>>
>>8076532
There's a subset of people that take offense when you tell them they can do something or that something is possible. I do wonder what causes that.
>>
>>8076310
the point has always been to draw for yourself, to feel like you can draw anything YOU want to.
i really hate what social media has done to young adults
>>
>>8076598
I unironically knew a guy who was 20 who killed himself because by his age he hasn't achieved an imaginary goal that some terminally online looksmaxxers/sigma males told him about...
>>
>>8076592
maybe because they already tried and it backfired horrendously
>>
>>8076602
Tried what? I dare you, many of them just sit in their rooms doing nothing. I doubt they even have fun after talking to so many people who, I'm serious, struggled to understand the concept of being in control of what they're watching online. Basically, they either watch something that's popular or hate watch something ._.
>>
>>8076602
They likely tried something recommended to them, half-assed the attempt, possibly even tried to fail so they could say it didn't work and because they did "try", felt justified in their initial belief.
They were never intending to succeed to begin with.
>>
>>8076606
i don't know the context, but if someone told me to go talk to people and make friends, i'd be mad, because all that did is made me embarass myself and gave me ptsd.
if someone told me to open a business, i'd be mad because it's risky.
if someone told me to enter their pyramid scheme, i'd be mad because it's a scam.
>>
>>8076617
Notice how you're only looking at the downsides. I think it's impossible to help someone that thinks this way short of something that is life changing like losing your house, job, loved ones, something that forces you to change otherwise something is maintaining the status quo. If it still doesn't persist, I can't imagine a fate other than suicide or just dying.
>>
>>8076310
Can't you lie about your age in those communities? Do they force you to show an ID or something like that, just put a fake age in your bio, retard
>>
>>8076617
>>8076620
I mean, yeah, most people will not be able to give you a good advice. Even on forums or /adv/, you're just gambling in hopes someone will spend some time and share their valuable (for you) experience with you. You have to be the one who tells yourself to go outside, make a business, etc. if you know that it's not gonna work for you, you'd say something like "find online friends" or "find a regular job". But you'll have to do something about these situations, because it's very unlikely you have a person who'll bring you people to talk to and help you with money and also encouraging you to do any of this stuff even when you're in your doomer phase
>>
>>8076623
Why would you even put your age anywhere though
If I see that a place (an online/offline) is filled with kids or people who aren't clearly not my age, I'd just not participate there
>>
>>8076620
and on the opposite spectrum, you have people who only look on the bright side, that's why you get accidental deaths from joyriding, parajute jumping, traveling, etc and child raping migrants that were let in my democrats
>>
>>8076626
i genuinely like to be alone and don't like the idea of managing a business. even as a toddler i was content playing by myself.
>>
>>8076686
You lost, chud. Woke is back.
>>
>>8076417
>bust your ass twice as card just to catch up to people who aren't even trying in life
>and you're STILL blamed for not making it
>>
>>8076532
his entire schtick is having hope and always believing theres something you can do, therapy is institutionalized coping. Of course there will be blackpillars pushing back, why does he deserve sanctuary from having his views challenged? Its like how SF6 is shit yet people shill it anyways, it is our DUTY as crabs to destroy their little delutions and shatter their hopes.
>>
>>8076310
I have the same feeling, and the only thing that's keeping me going is porn I desperately want to exist from series that forever reason lacks complete interest from drawfags.
>>
>>8077126
Life is all about coping until you die.
