Cancelled my schoolism membership, sold my tablet, and threw away all of my sketchbooks.

Such a waste of time. And for what? It's completely unnecessary and serves no purpose.
Art is not needed, especially in today's society where the intellect, personality, and face reigns supreme.

To be honest, the "artistic lifestyle" seems almost like a childish endeavour at this point, and I don't mean any disrespect, but it seems like the most serious artists (asides from guys who are legit conceptartists/illustrators/porn artists but they represent a very low % of dedicated lifters) are also the people with nothing else going on in their lives.
I know this was true with me, I was biggest and most serious about drawing when I was still in uni, working only 15 hours a week, and pretty much just plucking around all the time, going out, with no real life.
To all you kids out there who are getting sucked into the comerical art , try to stop yourself.
So long as you have and maintain decent facial aesthetics, you'll be fine.
Art just not worth it.

Cheers.

Art wasn't for you and that is alright.

Enjoy your 9-5 cubicle.

>intellect, personality, and face reigns supreme

Implying those things aren't what make your career in the art world as well. Maybe not for drawing porn and furry shit, but in the fine art world it's just like any other business. Although I think it's pretty telling that you left out the most important part of success in any field; hard work.

I love when talentless hacks get butt hurt because they suck. Good luck bro, I hope you do badly, and based on your horrible attitude I'm sure you will.

I changed vidya for drawing, that is about 3 hours of drawing daily and skipping weeks when I have exams
Social life is shit and I gave up on women at 17, I will never reproduce because Im not white and neither will vote because comissions are not affected by tax

Wagecucks will be replaced by robots really soon. If you're not designing what the robots are going to build, then you're already fucked.

Only the creative and supervision roles will remain available for humans.

Every week fucking special snowflakes like you have to make a thread and announce they're "quitting art". No one cares, less competition for everyone else and one less shit head on ic. Its your fault trying to pursue art as a career and not just simply drawing for fun.

Take a look around you.
Chances are you're in a house.

Guess what someone designed your house. Someone designed your computer. Someone designed your clothes. You know that tablet? I'm sure there was a small team who designed the look of that.

ANYTHING that you see, touch, use has literally been someone elses design.

You know those cubicles that you're going to be stuck in for 40 years? Someone designed that too. Your favorite movie? A bunch of creative teams built that.

To say that art isn't important is to be completely ignorant to the world you exist within. Anything you interact with: the chair you sit in, the desktop UI, any game you can think of, product packages, clothes, shoes, cars, houses, weapons, utility items, utensils, your bed...Everything has been created by an artist.
Art is literally everywhere, and yet you choose to leave this world where your ideas are not only valued, but consumed by the public. Artists create trends, styles, and brands. While just developing pretty illustrations is totally fine, an artist can literally be the creator of anything. UX designers literally create experiences. It may not seem like art, but you are still creating the way someone interacts with something else.

I'm sorry you have to go, and you won't be missed. Sure artists arent going to cure cancer, nor are we going to mix chemicals together. But artists create experiences, and that alone is much more powerful in the long term.

Art is worth it, but it isn't for everyone. Peace man, go into business management or head towards med school. Art can be compared to these other professions because of the amount of training and influence it has on the world. Anything else and you'll be REALLY wasting your life.

You just lack imagination cuz all you ever do is trace and reference your "work" and see pragmatic but nonsensical and useless outputs. Sure your peers will flatter you or a few deviants but will your work reach millions? Even stupid viral videos can reel in more (ad) money and popularity than your "pathetic artwork" and that's in a shorter period of time!

It makes sense to quit at this point because you don't see a future creation ...signed with your name? it's like your typical and average "murrican dream diva" who will never make it not because she isn't a good singer but because no one writes lyrics for free unless it's you or the "big industry pulling every strings." Worse is if the industry doesn't even exist yet and have no funds to publish let alone market them locally or globally (unless famous enough).

Art can be "rote learned" but philosophy can't be. You are the audience, they are the audience, Art is life, life is art. The only thing that matters here is not how you communicate with them but how you can piece in the words that is music to their ears. Art is just a way of expression. Even people will buy shitty art for a good concept/story (e,g, One's One Punch Man - eventually made into animation, remastered manga, motion picture possible). Hint: with today's CGI capabilities ambitious concepts are 'quite' lacking.

Concepts are something you keep until they explode otherwise stolen like your typical silicon valley 'patent war' and 'patent mafia.' It doesn't matter if concepts are left to rot because they only ripe. Better invest in concepts than "photoshop mastery."

There is a boundary between imitation and originality and that is creativity. Add imagination and that's how you tickle the mind into rethinkinking what is and what isn't. Add a hint of philosophy and same thing applies to everything else.

I am guessing you work in UX. Please Sempai help a somewhat intuitive fledgling get ahead in the field.

I got my degree in Informatics and am currently working for a small web company on the west coast of Canada. I was initially trained as a developer , but my heart is in design. Specifically UX design.

Any tips for making the transition into a dedicated UX role? (I do UX duties currently and some design, however I really want to make this my main responsibility.)
>>
You were never going to make it anyway if you garner no fulfillment by the process of creating. That's what this shit is all about. Good riddance I say.
>>
You didn't stop because you think art is "useless", you stop because you couldn't get good.

You wouldn't even start if you didn't want to get good, I know because I can't get good and it pisses me off, but if I quit, I will know its because I couldn't make it and not because art is """unnecessary"""

Soccer is unnecessary and it doesn't stop people from throwing billions of dollars into it.

Paid concept artist here,

At least we enjoy doing our work and making friends with co workers.

>At least we enjoy doing our work and making friends with co workers.

And what do you have to show for that?

>No house
>No car
>No paid time off
>No retirement

Seriously, what do you have to look forward to 30 years down the road? You make shit art for a shit company that may not even be around next year. You're constantly looking for your next gig, and every time you get one it's not permanent and barely has perks.

Does "friendship" make up for all that?

Great! Make a comic, porn game or animation with your face and wonderful personality only.

>>
>>2803799

Skin color and IQ doesn't guarantee anything. It might make stuff easier for you, but it only gives a slight advantage. I mean, folks like Richard Spencer and the staff behind TRS aren't using their superior IQ points on anything worthwhile like their predecessors did. They just advocate body building while reading FBI crime statistics.

It was their sole choice to remain in that position too. They could have been the new Issac Newton or Mengele.

Lol, it's always funny and kind of sad to read things like that.
You know, I'm not going to try and reassure you or give you any advice - you don't need any of this.
This is your choice, your programming.
And that's the saddest part - when your life is going to come to an end - you are going to realise that all these years you spent doing something you never wanted to do and living a life of someone else you could've been living your own way - making some real change and enjoying your time on this planet. But you choose to build walls around yourself and that's okay. Just sad.

>>2803310
I bet you got into art in the first place to impress sluts. And after leaving your room and piss bottles for a day you must have ran into some female who was nice to you and now you think 'see, I never needed art, I had these superior facial aesthetics all along'

People make art for a ton of different reasons, sometimes its not even materialistic reasons like yours

Art is not needed, especially in today's society where the intellect, personality, and face reigns supreme.

To be honest, the "artistic lifestyle" seems almost like a childish endeavour at this point, and I don't mean any disrespect, but it seems like the most serious artists (asides from guys who are legit conceptartists/illustrators/porn artists but they represent a very low % of dedicated lifters) are also the people with nothing else going on in their lives.
I know this was true with me, I was biggest and most serious about drawing when I was still in uni, working only 15 hours a week, and pretty much just plucking around all the time, going out, with no real life.

desu i feel like the problem a lot of artists run into is that they overfocus on technical skill

like don't get me wrong that shit is craaaaazy important, but to your average viewer (aka the people you'd make money out of) there isn't that much difference between a master painter and someone who's just pretty good at what they're doing

obviously i'm talking about this from a sheer money perspective. to a trained eye a lot of errors are super obvious, even disgustingly so, but your average joe can't see shit.

the thing that trips people up a lot of the time is just that their paintings are fucking boring. for instance afremov's art is bland as hell -- there's very little actual technical prowess involved but nonartists eat that shit up. they loooooove his art. love it. is it kitsch? yes. does it sell? holy shit yes.

the art community, i mean, any art community music or sculpture or art or whatever is very inscestuous. most art's made for other artists, and, i mean, i'm not saying that's BAD but it's easy to get locked into the mindset that you're just going to please a community of people who do this shit for a living which is insane. on average, you're average. beating yourself up over that is dumb

i know this is copypasta but i've seen a lot of people drive themselves crazy like this, like, for real, so i thought i'd throw in something in case if someone needed to hear it

Have you ever considered your social life was lacking from the get go because you would be doing something else (even if it weren't drawing) and nobody seems to want to be around you enough to invite you out?

Shit social skills + misunderstanding your own problems like this probably means you whinge and whine at everything and everyone. No wonder you have no friends.

Fucking fix that, reevaluate your life, buy a new sketch book and fucking get gud.

If you do not enjoy practising your art, it's simply not the thing for you.
