/ic/ how do we become blissful and oblivious again? Meanwhile

I'd rather be unhappy and good than be a fucking pleb that has no value and be happy with that.

Ignorance is bliss, all that stuff but once you want that, you lose.

You're studying wrong.

Ignore your ego. Let others and yourself acknowledge your own imperfection as a human being.

This.
/ic/ is a hivemind of "I'm superior. :^)", when in the end you're still human which means you're still cancer. Humanity has been nothing but cancer and will never not be cancer, it is what it is. All you need to do in life is have fun, with the ~70+ years you have to your name when 100 years alone is just a blip in the cosmos noise of space time anyways.

Tldr; just live and learn (hurr durr Sonic reference.) Have fun drawing whatever you want and if you feel like your art sucks from the lack of knowledge, learn said knowledge, then get back at drawing whatever you want, now just with more understanding to help get pass something you didn't know. Ignorance isn't a fear, arrogance is.

nihilism is truly the most comfy way of perceiving life desu

>>2828022
stoicism is both more comfy and useful

I'm narcissistic about my art so I have always felt this way.

>>2828016
My suggestion is to create your own goal. What goal is the most achievable and truthful according to you? Stop buying the "make it" meme, make something in accordance to your own image, not some established standard of image like a sheeple.

Stoicism is against the principles of living comfy. Read nietzsche. The only acceptable choices of living your life are christianity, nihilism, and ubersmench.

This. I wanted to draw 300 ft. tall robot lolis. I could have theoretically started drawing them, but they would look like shit. So I studied human anatomy, I studied a bit of anime stylization (though I tend to lean more towards western/realistic style), I studied composition to make them look life like instead of just 2D, I studied perspective to make the cities that the lolis are destroying look realistic.
Learn the rules first, then break them.

>Stoicism is against the principles of living comfy.

>it's another guy who only knows Stoicism through Nietzsche's misguided bitching episode

They're not the masochists they're portrayed as, anon, read some actual stoic work. The difference is that to a stoic "living comfy" means living within your means, avoiding excess (which leads to discomfort), and not putting your happiness in the hands of externals.

/ic/ mentality is not enlightened
do not confuse harsh words with actual knowledge
this is a toxic community, in a different way than hugboxes, it is unhelpful and demotivating

>>2826263
Oh my lord just save up 22000 dollars and go to Singapore.

The fuck is wrong with this board? Who gives a shit about "the fundamentals?" It's not the 17th century. Art is whatever the fuck you want it to be, and if you're not enjoying the process of creating something, don't do it.

>The more you're enlightened, the unhappier you become.
I'm pretty sure you're not enlightened. There are no "the fundamentals" anymore. If anything contemporary art is more about context and subversion than whatever the fuck "fundamentals" may be.

Are you trying to be a graphic designer or professional illustrator or something? Or are you just trying to make interesting shit? It's all schlock. Never forget that.

I'd rather have fun and draw like crap, than not have fun and draw well while thinking that I was shit.

What if you have fun but also are sometimes frustrated by the process and thus more satisfied at the end? What if you sometimes make shit that looks good and sometimes make shit that looks bad and you generally just assume it all looks like shit and do it anyway because thats what learning is?

>>2833418
Ok, Chumbum.

That's the thing. I intended to purposely draw like a 14 year old girl while learning fundis and never abandon it even if I get good and land a gig in the industry. I found that enjoy it more than loomising all the time.

>>2833447
I struggle with this too, but I find art to be kinda fun so I sticked with it. Also I wanna put some rude anons in their place.

>>2833420
Move to less toxic places, no matter how good you are on /ic/ you will still be labeled as shit. Occasional criticism is good, but "you are shit therefore I am superior" bs is horrible.

>>2826263
that's not enlightenment, you've just shifted your focus to somewhere that causes you to feel negative emotion.
you can improve, get really good, without doing that. it doesn't mean abandoning self-awareness, it just is getting into a really productive mindset, where studying and improving is simply fun as fuck.
but, uh, i don't know how to access that mindset very well...

well some people can shed on guitar but nobody knows who they are. while somebody else can only play a few chords but they make songs people love. Think about your art. Is there anything to it? what are you comparing it to? Are you inspired or are you stuck?
