HOW DO I MAKE ART-RELATED FRIENDS

>>2926563
why the fuck would you want that? get some normie orbiters who you can recruit as your personal drones

don't
most artfags are mentally unstable
just make a friendly rival acquaintance

>>2926563
Not gonna make it.

I dunno, maybe you can start with some small-talk with the old lady in the art supplies shop.

>>2926563
git gud so your art friendship is worth a damn.

>>2926563
By staying well away from /ic/.

>>2926563

Have a full sketchbook and enroll in something. Or draw outdoors, or in a mall environment. If you have a sketchbook or good erasers or something, give it as a gift to someone who has potential.

>>2926563

if you don't live in bumfuck nowhere'sville use meetup.com nigga

post a group if there's not one already

you might make like one autistic neckbeard friend who shows up but hey that's networking

>>2926563
Art school?

>>2926563
livestreaming

Never make friends with people who hate themselves even more than they hate you.

>Never make friends with 99% of humanity
wew

>>2926968
Exactly.

I can't make friends at all, let alone art related ones.

Dont do it.
Artists are mentally unstable or really obnoxious.
Just get some normie friends that dont know how to draw

If they call themselves nonbinary or feminists, or consider themselves as part of black lives matter tennstay away from them lmao. There are lots f artists who are part of the SJW culture, but not all are.

Why do people even bother with women

>>2927649
You did well, don't let anyone tell your otherwise.

>>2927649
>artists so poor they have to pick up strangers for dinner

>>2927649
You're gonna make it.

>>2926575
This.

>Get invited to a Patreon mixer by Patreon.
>It's on the way back from my work and there's free food n drinks, so why not.
>Arrive, not a lot of people but I start mingling with one of the tables, I'm not shy.
>After an hour of talking it's obvious that almost every single "artist" at the meetup are doing either dumb experimental bs, photography or concept art that is not good enough for hire.
>One thing they all have in common is that almost none of them makes any money doing art.
>Most of them don't even have a patreon account.
>Some of them advertised themselves as comic artists but haven't made a comic in years.
>They talk about the shit they have to do to earn any money to live and it's depressing.
>Leave traumatized from the thought of ending up in my 30's a broke ass washed up artist who can't provide for themselves.

I mean I actually have a job doing art right now, but goddamn it it made me so fucking depressed, why do artists have to be so socially retarded and financially stunted? I don't want to be put in the same category as these people.

Be friends with normal people, artists are fucked.

>>2928027
They obviously came to network anon

>>2928031
yeah no shit, doesn't mean their lives have to be a parents nightmare.

>>2928071
Sacrifices have to be made to get where you want to go

>>2927649
You did good anon. Get your own shit together first. You wanna be ready when the right one comes along.

>>2928074
if you're past 25 years old and your work doesn't make enough money to support yourself and you have no other job you might want to grow up and choose a different career.

>>2927607
This anon is right. Muggle friends will be much better for you and keep you grounded in reality. There's probably more to life than art

>>2928079
Lots of pros didn't start till that age tho

>>2928082
but were they jobless until they were 25? most likely not. I'm talking about artists who insists on doing art and have no job on the side even if they have no luck within art.
