I'm just now trying to get a hold of my fundamentals, and it's hard as shit. Why did I waste so much time copying anime? Heck I didn't even use references, even now I only look at references for 1 minute at most, sketch some shit and keep going on my own, despite being wrong and making mistakes pretty much everywhere. There's just too many bad habits I need to break

>>2890126
I knew I needed to go back and study fundamentals when I realized it takes me 35 hours to draw something with somewhat accuracy.

Why do normies always put the least amount of effort into everything?

> never got compliments for my art.
> always got insulted in school for even trying to draw.
> you're shit / why are you even trying? / He tries so hard, yet in the end is comes out shit anyways. /

> my mom never even said anything about my drawing, i could show her anything..she wouldn't care.

I wished anyone could have at least given me a bit constructive critisim, or at least some nice compliments instead of always insults

every school i've ever gone to art teachers and other students treat me like a freakish art robot. enough that they even gave me this incredibily specific superlative at my high school.

but everyone on the internet hates me so it evens out.

judging by how much you're replying to me i'm guessing you're new here... post your work?

I was that kid. People were in awe and always looked over my shoulder. kinda annoying.

eventually they did it so much I became pretty arrogant and snobby like i knew more than anybody else. eventually i stagnated and stopped getting gud. mean while they all surpassed me with in a year or two. they made it. they are now living happily lives while I sit and paint my mediocre art that i never liked but everybody else did.
