>>my eye is much more observant now, I look at thing more closely, notice how things change in perspective, how light works, textures, etc
>>my ability to visualize things in 3d has increased
how is that relevant to helping u in other areas in life?

I'm a balding guy, before art women regarded me as a typical skinhead and I barely got laid

After art, women find me more attractive and mysterious, and find my shaved look interesting, as in their own words

Hasn't helped me at all. Well it actually kinda helped me on my science exam where we had to draw the strike and dip of rocks in different directions so knowing how to draw cubes helped with that. Aside from that tho, it hasn't really helped me. Hopefully the full effects will kick in when I make it.

I spent less time going out and lost some friends. The stress of having to become good made me age twice as fast. I have no desires aside from getting good anymore. Just want to go back to my quiet life, but it's like a drug.

I'm fairly good at problem solving and working with my hands, which I guess originates from my drawing. So shit like carpentry and other crafts comes somewhat easily to me.

Having a good eye allows you to appreciate art and the world more, like how a trained ear allows you to see deeper into music, make sense of the underlying rhythm, harmonies, chord progressions, etc.

As a scientist, visualization is useful. It helps to have a vivid imagination.

To generalize, there is clearly an increased concern about living in a visually illiterate environment. How do we distinguish between informative simulacra & disinformative simulations? I.E., Real news and fake news? Ive had people show me images that they thought were exact duplicates, but were actually entirely different images. Visually illiteracy in the Middle Ages would have very sharp consequences ... imagine being unable to distinguish gold from fool's gold.

One of the stranger aspects is to consider the role of being able to dress yourself properly. People with this ability are perceived very differently than those that lack it. It makes life unquestionably more smooth. Shakespeare's Armado is worth mentioning in that regard; someone of a modest class background who was nevertheless able to dress well and interact with those were were better positioned in life -- an interesting character irony. Yet what are the other ironies of being able to dress well? People believe that you're flirting with them, and if they're badly dressed you may not see them as having the same intentions.

It makes me feel better about my current job (non art related) because I've been able to supplement my income for my art, which I currently do as a passing hobby. I've sold a few fanarts and custom daki, so I know that there are at least a few chodes willing to buy my shit. I would never dare say I've ever "made it", but the potential is there if I ever wanted to try it.

haha yea its helps you appreciate the world more up until the point you immediately synthesize and understand everything you see and it all becomes dull and full of mistakes and you hate all that your eyes lay upon
boy i wish i never drew

doing nothing improves a lot
it's now fun to just look around admiring random designs around me, architecture, plants, furniture, fashion

I second this boi

I am so happy I gave up on chinese. There is no excuse for having to learn so many fucking retarded characters.
It would even be more acceptable to just draw a small picture of what you want to say.

Fucking this.
Decomposing buildings and vehicles into cubes/cylinders/spheres is interesting as shit.

I agree on the observant thing. Though I consider it more a quality of life improvement than I "I can see perspective and texture!"

I just stop and appreciate things more, I feel more aware of my surroundings and it's easier to find interesting/beautiful things. I actually enjoy going for walks in a way I didn't used to, because it's actually fun to observe the world around me when it didn't used to be.
