So I been drawing casually my whole life. Nothing serious maybe a couple drawings a year. During the last 18 months I got serious about art and start drawing about 4 hours a day. I was seeing a lot of progress at first and I thought that after 2 years of hard work i'll be a pro. Today, I came to the realization that I haven't even scratched the surface. Not to mention that, there's literally been no improvement in my skill in the past 6 months. I'm not gonna give up but at the same time I feel hopeless about getting good. I've always been a slow learner, if only I was more talented.
Post your progress.

Hey, you can't be worse than the guy from reddit who learned from cartoons for 3 WHOLE YEARS instead of real life studies.

Sorry, don't have them. It was a fairly recent event, and he lashed out at all those who provide constructive criticism.
That shit was fucking funny, especially when he realized that he wasted 3 WHOLE yours of his life studying the wrong thing.
Art is about more than technical skill.
I posted on here a couple of times and surprisingly some people recognize my work. I would post work but I don't want to be known as a whiner.

Link or post his eork?
Curious to see where 3 years of drawing cartoons gets you.

Are you actively looking for critique (asking only on /ic/ isn't enough), applying it and making sure that you won't make the same mistakes again?

>doing art casually for 3 years, seriously for 1.5 year
You are doing something really wrong if at this point you can't point out where you improved. You aren't a total n00b anymore, you must have workflow by now and focus studies on some of your weaknesses.
Maybe if you have bad week, just copy stuff/art you like? It will always boost your confidence to a degree and if anything, maybe your lines and shapes will get a bit better.

Jesus this is why i procrastinate so much.
I dont want to fuck up and waste my time learning something the wrong way. I wish I had professional instruction but fuck going to art school.

Ateliers exist you know. Thousands of people also learn perspective and how to draw for architecture studies each year at places that are objectively pretty good. You really have no excuse even if you are from third world.

Taking this too seriosly is a pain in the ass, im happy just with drawing acceptable females.
Whish i have more talent for drawing, but meh.
>>2920296
I usually hear that ~5 years is what you should expect to practice to become pro. For an average person.

I am from a third world and I have no ateliers living in one of the most important cities of the country. What the fuck are you talking about?

No, you're simply a lazy fuck and you're making excuses.

I am pretty sure that if you are from Brazil and live in some Curtiba or something, you have at least 1 atelier/art school that you pay affordable monthly monies.
Basically it functions like that - if your country educates architects, you have such kind of place. Maybe not in really small cities, but in a nearest city of 200k people you should have such thing, especially if it is uni city.
Hell, I live in second world, but even in my city of 60k people there is a drawing course (not atelier).
