funny image, OP. but this is super pathetic and petty. just focus on being happy yourself instead of comparing yourself to others. its basic shit dude. take chances and interact with real people instead of hateposting.

No thanks.

>>2710790
I genuinely feel bad for you. Like...you're sad. You're making ME sad. Someone tells you to relax and live a happy life and you immediately get hostile? Like...do you have friends?

>>2710798
No.

Are you lonely too?

I've been alone for 4 years. My progress is fueled by isolation.I go to my day job and my boss asks me. Why are you so angry? You look mad all the time. I've come up with the answer after being asked the same question for the last 4 years. " If I'm not talking, I'm happy."

My world is so lonely. I sit and hone my skills silently alone in my dark room. The screen fills my face with an empty light.

>>2710799
Figured. Go get some. I'd extend the hand of friendship myself but I have a feeling you're not a fun dude.

>>2710798
He's right though. Not necessarily about getting angry at people better than him, but the reply to his post is just braindead. Typical liberal bullshit about happiness and being yourself. Life isn't an after school special where flowery, vapid bullshit will solve the problems you have in life. That kind of thinking is what produces so many depressed, entitled assholes these days.

>>2710803

>>2710807
Happiness isn't something you will into existence. It's something you strive for throughout your life. And for some people, particularly some artists types, it isn't even desirable. Some people thrive creatively on hatred, pressure, self-criticism, jealousy and even depression. The tortured artist isn't just an empty trope, and there are plenty of world renowned artists who say they can't work when they're feeling happy or content. I don't personally prescribe to this way of thinking, but your quick fix solution of "be happy and don't worry about what others think of you", is about as stupid as you can get. If self-criticism and perceived rivalry gives him motivation to work harder, then let him deal with it the way he wants to.

Also, you really write like an obnoxious fuck, with your idiotic ellipses and faux-exasperation. You're some kind of tumblrcunt, aren't you?

OP here

I've finally broken free from the real world. I'm currently a NEET living with my parents.

There was nothing out there that gave me inspiration.

It all felt like styrofoam. Everyday I wished for suicide. I didn't even want to draw in my free time away from my art studies.

I did create some works out of pure emotion back when I was shuttling through the world and my house. They completely lack the fundamentals, but I still like them more than what I currently make.

>>2710846

You don't fucking know what comes after death, you don't even know how pleasant death might be.
For all your life you're a happy fucking flowerpower junkie and then in death you realize you could've had all this comfyness if you just necked yourself early.

Life is suffering for everyone with few good moments here and there and your pretentious happiness bullshit is worth a fucking bullet to your neck.

>>2710941

It's one way of "enjoying" life.

Trying to pass your own beliefs as "correct ways of living" is hypocritical bullshit.

Whereas you think that going out to drink with your friends and socializing is a good way to "enjoy" life, someone might find that same kick from sitting at home, masturbating to cartoons
if it comes as a surprise to someone: PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT. Each one individual.
Being part of the grey mass that enjoys things together doesnt make those things absolute.

>>2710965

>Whereas you think that going out to drink with your friends and socializing is a good way to "enjoy" life

What the fuck are you even talking about? You're projecting your own insecurities really hard right now. Nowhere was I suggesting anything in particular what you should be doing in order to be happy. As you said, there are lots of different types of people and lots of different lifestyles that could make you happy. But if you are constantly miserable and depressed, as the post I originally replied to said, then you are clearly doing something wrong with your life.

I only feels buttmad to people who are in artschool or have rich parents. Like Algenpfleger and Miles. Also friends are overrated. They changing with time drastically.

This. I don't care if someone has a super hot spouse or travels for work or any of that shit but the fact their parents were able to pay for an art school education always gets to me. Or if you see an ig/tumblr post of a young untalented kid just wasting time and all of their top of the line supplies and nice apartments that are super artsy and quirky. Fuck them. Fuck them to hell.

It's a small motivator though, to "do it on muh own" kind of thing. The rest of my motivation is to just make something awesome. Even though I'm gonna have a kid and will have to put art on the backburner for awhile I will never give up completely. Feels good.

>Don't give a fuck about friends

Depends what kind you have, if it's a shallow friendship about partying and shit all the time, then yeah you can ditch them and it won't be too bad. But if you have friends like mine who are actually really good people and always more than willing to be a shoulder to cry on when you need it and are your bantz and good times for the rest of the time, then keep them. It's important to have good, good friends. Most people don't.

I incite jealousy with my friends, that's a good thing I think. I'm broke af, not too attractive, and have problems staying motivated/not being depressed but at least I have down ass buddies that I've known for more than 10 years now. It's honestly great and I almost lost them due to my own emotional hangups (wasn't answering texts, didn't make an effort to get together, avoidance, etc) but have come clean about it and they totally understood. That's a real friend.

I'm sorry, what? It gets to you that families can actually get together money to help pay for their child's education? I'm actually sad that your parents can't help you with that. Families that work together get shit done.

>It's a small motivator though, to "do it on muh own" kind of thing. The rest of my motivation is to just make something awesome. Even though I'm gonna have a kid and will have to put art on the backburner for awhile I will never give up completely.
You'll be lucky if that type of motivation even stays on the fucking backburner. Art is not enough to support a child and the risks are too high, especially for freelancing. If you get a studio job then say goodbye to your kid since you'll see him for about 5 hours a week.

This "Do it on my own" mentality needs to stop. I'm not talking about you specifically but just in general. You need to be able to network, to communicate with other industry professionals, you need to be able to contact art directors and agents in a proper manner. This is literally the shit that they teach you in art school.Or even take a business class or two.

I take it like this, I am fortunate enough to have parents help me pay for school. They are investing into my future, so I better not fuck this art-thing up otherwise that's a lot of time and money gone to waste. Luckily I've made many connections to ILM, Blizzard, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and many more studios just by taking advantage of the opportunities here at my school.

>and I almost lost them due to my own emotional hangups (wasn't answering texts, didn't make an effort to get together, avoidance, etc)
You sound like a needy faggot who strives for attention and gets mad when is ignored. Learn that you have to be a friend to those you want to be your friends too. Stop being a child.

So you're saying that I need to be as contemptuous of everyone as possible, basically destroying any semblance of a balanced life in the effort to one-up any and everybody in some bizarre dickwaving contest that only I'll care about?

Learning to not leave your happiness up to external factors like "WAHHH HE'S BETTER THAN ME" "WAHH HE HAS MORE FRIENDS" "WAHHH HIS YACHT IS BIGGER THAN MY YACHT!" has nothing to fucking do with being liberal or conservative, just not being a cunt. But maybe you've internalized a /pol/-tier logic where being a cunt is actually your ideal because muh alpha male or something. The fact you seem to support this attitude and then call people who advocate "satisfy yourself with what you can do rather than whining about what others can do" entitled is hilarious.

>>2711171
>rich kid buttmad
No one likes rich kids. Every monkey can learn how to draw in top tier art school. Even self taught rich kid can don't give a fuck about anything. Your parents can back up you and find job for you anytime. You can study and live comfortable without any worries. Hilarious that you don't understand this.

My parents were way too busy trying to feed me and my brother while keeping a roof over our heads to ever save for a fucking art degree. And a lot of assumptions there, I stayed at home during weekends and summers instead of going out to play to take care of my autistic brother so they both didn't have to worry about a babysitter despite being only 11- did this until about age 23 (24 right now, just to give an accurate illustration) after my mom finally finished her own degree. I'd call that teamwork. They work really hard and no matter what they will still never have enough to fully support me enough to go to art school. You're lucky anon.

Also, now that I have a kid I will go to school for STEM and draw when I can. I actually have the motivation to keep going despite all of the hindrances that is life. It's not a "better not fuck it up" thing for me, I am not that fortunate. And it can't be hard to learn how to communicate, your parents really paid 100,000+ dollars so you could learn to write a proper email. Hilarious.

>You sound like a needy faggot who strives for attention and gets mad when is ignored. Learn that you have to be a friend to those you want to be your friends too. Stop being a child.

Where the fuck did you get this? I crawled into a mental hole for years and almost fully disappeared on them, made the effort this past year to get over it and started to hang out more than every 4 months with them. During those years it was once in a while thing, and yes, I'm always up to listen to their problems while never sharing my own, or rather, never sharing the real issues- that was the problem. I was running away from my past but learned from it and now am a lot more open and feel way better.

Good luck on your education though, hopefully you can get somewhere with that defensive attitude (but you will, because you went to art school), work on that projection little buddy.

I'll admit, I was rash and I could've handled that reply quite better.
>I'd call that teamwork. They work really hard and no matter what they will still never have enough to fully support me enough to go to art school. You're lucky anon.
I call that teamwork too. But what you're implying is that there aren't parents who also work together to get their child through higher education. To assume that all "rich kids" are complete assholes is completely subjective. I for one come from a middle class family, and my idea of "rich kids" to me is completely different to what you believe. I'm not saying either viewpoint is wrong, nor am I saying they're right.
Where you are financially could be thought of as "rich" in someone else's eyes. This whole argument is just another example of comparing ourselves to each other. "He's got more money, he's more handsome, etc etc," It's a destructive train of thought to constantly compare yourself.

Take drawing for example. When you look at a really good artist and say, "Man, they don't know how it really is, especially in the real world. They don't know what HARD WORK and EARNING JOBS/MONEY really feels like. They have it too easy!" You are basically revealing that you are ignorant to the work and dedication it took to get to that level. You don't know what goes on behind the scenes.

For example, I called you a needy faggot in my original post. You then revealed your backstory and explained why you acted that way. It changed my point of view and now it changes the way I see you. As a result it makes me look like a jackass.

Do you see how this works? To hold grudges on those who you haven't even met will only isolate you more in this lonely world. Use that negative energy elsewhere and convert it into productive energy. Holding grudges and making assumptions is a waste of time. Use that energy to get gud. If you keep sectioning off types of people you are only going to section yourself off to the world. It's not worth it.

>>2710878
Not that anon, but I don't think it hurts to have a little competitive spirit and light a fire under your ass to catch up to a peer.

But, there are problems when you start getting too deep in attaching your worth as a good person to your hand skill (because there is always someone better than you), and start to project that on other artists.

>>2710784

>>2711364
Hey anon. I believe what you want will come true. You have to work hard for it truly.

I've been drawing all my life. From the age of 4 to now. The years up until I was 19 were play time. They were the years I built muscles in my fingers. I drew every day after school for hours and hours.

By the time I was 19 I bought myself photoshop,yes i saved up 900 bucks and bought the stand alone copy of cs5,it still stands tall and proud on my shelf and always will. Around this time is when I started to really admire the online communities, especially the concept art forums.They opened up my eyes to a whole new world.

After the age of 19 I started taking art serious and drew everyday for at least 8 hours. Now I'm 25 and I'm at a professional level. I'm about to break out of the long harsh never ending mediocre middle stage of being an intermediate artist.

You can do it anon. You just have to work for it.

Just discovered this girl i've had a crush on forever is finally with someone (yes i did approach her, i didnt sit on the sidelines) being a good artist doesnt make those jealous feelings go away. Having a "one up" on someone wont make you less jealous of the thing they have that you dont. I'm a tallented proffessional illustrator but im torn to pieces by loneliness and jealousy.

The social aspect is negligible. I can't stand people that are better than me that fuck around with other human beings. They don't deserve to be better than me.

>>2711884
Well, tough shit. Almost all the great artists at the highest level are married, in a long term relationship or at the very least have social lives. There is nothing you can do to ever surpass them because at that level, it's just a matter of personal taste. Also, what do you mean they "don't deserve it"? They most likely worked significantly harder than you on their art, despite having a social life.

>>2711892
They haven't worked harder, but they have worked longer.

>>2711895
They also worked smarter. And socializing with other artists probably helped them a lot too.

>>2711900
I've only been at it for a year, but I'm coming up fast.

We'll see how it turns out.

>>2711895
How would you know they haven't worked harder?

>>2711905
At 5 hours a day of fundamental study, (minimum) over the course of 3 years they would be far better than me, but they're not. They're still better than me regardless.

>>2711911
The greatest artists at the highest level are not far better than you after 1 year of studying? Yeah, the Dunning Kruger is strong in this one.

Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century
And everyone of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin' coal
Pourin' off of every page
Like it was written in my soul

>Don't give a fuck about friends.

How stupid. You do realize there's a middle ground, right?

You know, a point between 'drop everything at the whim of your friends' and 'Don't give a fuck about friends'?

A realization that friends come and go but that you can appreciate their company while you're friends? Help them out sometimes, ask them to help you out sometimes, and ditch the ones who obviously don't give a shit about you.

>>2710784

work smart, not hard

drawing circles and lines for 10 hrs or shitty 1min sketches is useless

>>2718864
>A realization that friends come and go but that you can appreciate their company while you're friends? Help them out sometimes, ask them to help you out sometimes, and ditch the ones who obviously don't give a shit about you.
How can I brainwash myself into believing this? Also how do I ditch those annoying "friends".

>>2721400
just dont hang out with them. or make them come to your place and sit with you while you draw. only the people who actually give a shit will do that.all my friends will just sit in the room with me while im drawing and talk or watch a movie on screen or something.

>>2711357
Bitch, his vocabulary wasn't even that complex. If anything he has extremely melodramatic and edgy prose, and writing style, but it has nothing to do with his word choice.

There is no reason to feel envy.

You are an artist because you want to express something right? If someone else does it in a way you would like to do then he is basically doing the job for you.

If someone has the skills you wish you had but does not make the art you would like to do then why do you envy him?

I hate this so much about myself, fuck
I mean I see these kind of posts and think, if this guy took this much to make it and has drawn so many hours a day, how can I even get good if I draw 2 hours on a good day? Goddamnit man.

I see a bunch of posts relevant to what I wrote? But I suppose I wasn't really looking for any kind of answer, if that is what you're referring to
What I think is that I just need to stop fucking around and get to studying for at least 3 hours every day
I know how to fix this problem and I know I can do it anytime, but the lazyness is STRONG in me and it might take a while before I actually do it.

its really pathetic, but the jealousy presented in this thread makes me feel good about myself, because i have always known better artists than me when growing up so its never a big deal when someone else posts good art

you congratulate them. cuz how would you like people responding to your art you worked hard on?

desu im not good by any standard, but I seem to still instill envy in many of the "better" artists I met

says something about being human

>>2710784

Does the word "dandelion" mean anything to you?

>>2724361
is that pic related what it takes to make it

>>2724702

if you ever want to draw like ur best artist, think of this as the rock you have to carry to get god strokes for lines

Reading this thread motivates me to git gud so I can piss off people like OP.

Coccoon mode is a meme. Eventually the loneliness and emptiness of it all starts messing with your head and your art gains suffer.

Trying to reduce yourself into a machine for producing pictures is a pretty sad waste of a life imo.
