Serious question: Why does /ic/ do art when it's so much

Chekhov wants to write stories.
Nolan wants to direct movies.
Burial wants to do music.

And I want to fucking draw.

Are you fucking retarded or something? What kind of question even is that?

It's not a dumb question. Take your aggression out on a pillow you dumb bitch. Not even the op just in case you say I am.

>Nolan films Memento in a few weeks
That's just the filming part. Development started as early as 1996 for 'Memento'. Who knows how many total hours were put into concept-wring, script building, storyboarding, location scouting, casting, acting, directing, editing, sound mixing, music production, etc.?

For filmmaking as a whole, I'd consider it the most labor-intensive art, even though it isn't generally a one-man product. Animation, in particular, is brutal in terms of workload and physically taxing.

But to get to your point, personally I like doing art because it's the most visual in getting ideas across and was much more accessible to me as a kid. Not many people have had access to equipment that lets them start making home movies or producing music in their formative years. Writing is more peculiar.

Plus as >>2620474 puts it, I like drawing.

It is a dumb question.

every skill needs time and work, dont be a fool.

tis

Out of the visual arts, besides memes like performance, painting is the least labor-intensive sans photography

Sculpting, animation, ceramic, even design, a finished project may take weeks or months

You're just a retard then.

You sure heard the one about grass being greener on the other side. There's no such things as effortless art, don't be fooled, no matter the medium you have to work your ass off if you want to make something worth anything. It's just that it seems easier the less you know about what's going behind the scenes.
There are paintings that took literal years to create and the ones that were made in mere hours. But behind all of them (or the ones that can be considered good to be more precise) there's thousands of hours of practise, sweat, tears and all that jazz. And the same goes for books/movies/music/plays/video games/dance performances and so on so on. As a mere observer you see only the final result, so you really can't give a solid judgment unless you've tried it yourself

If you pick your passion based on how easy it is you really doing it for all wrong reasons

At first glance I thought you said practise, sweat, tears and jizz, which'd be appropriate for /ic/.

>>2620480
Not to mention it was based on a short story.

I was only pretending to be retarded, retard.

OP, you should read about Nolan's first feature "Following". Dude didn't have any luxuries at all.

He even said in some documentary that with each screening on tour they had a donation box in order to secure funds for his next film.

Yeah, I think what I meant to point out was:

Visual art (the representational kind /ic/ does) has much more objective standards of skill, which from the looks of it can take 5+ years to get good enough to sell well (excluding smut or fanshit).

I just thought it was curious how guys like Avicii can crank out a tune in FL in under an hour that gets like 10 million hits. His songs aren't anything special, but that's easier to achieve than a passable portrait by even layman standards. After all, different standards for each medium -- visual art's is just high as fuck...

>>2623648
not really, as many have already said so far in this thread, even if avicii (or any other musical artist) makes a song in under an hour, it's the thousand of hours they've put in before that that allows them to make something like that very quickly, it applies to any field of creation
