>So who else showed talent at drawing when they were kids

its amazing how american culture can convince every retard they're a winner

>>2941078
my mommy said I was amazing

>>2941089

>>2941078
the closest to that was a guy in my middle school who just drew a lot from life, tv and imagination and was alright for his age.

talent is a meme and you got lied to

>>2941095
anon said culture not citizenship

>>2941078
yes I was quite better at drawing than my peers (not knowing that the reason behind it was that I drew a lot more than them)
and then I went to highschool and I became surrounded by other kids better at drawing than their peers many of them better at drawing than me. it confused me that muh talent wasn't worth shit in front of my schoolmates and art teachers until several years later it hit me that those kids better than me were also those kids who drew more

>I draw like a fiend from age 3-11, best in class, mom buys me all my art supplies
>sister is a disgusting programmer. I make fun of her and tell her she'll never draw better than me
>1998 family friend buys me Gundams and buys sister animu
>in middle school - I get into robotics and start coding, sister starts drawing in high school
>sister gits gud and goes to RISD, my drawing skills locked into a 6th grade level
>2010 bored as fuck doing engineering work, want to get back to drawing
>new life goal is to draw better than sister again
>mfw she doesn't even remember me saying she could never draw better than me
>mfw 2017 I'm turning 30

>Always been the art boy through school.
>Thought I was at least B RANK.
>Discover how big the art world actually is.
>Realize I was actually D RANK.
>Realize the difference between D RANK and B RANK is an ocean apart.
>B RANK to A RANK is interplanetary.
>mfw A RANK to S RANK is such an incomprehensible divide of experience, hard work and innate ability.

If anything, my previous symbol-drawing was detrimental to my learning but at least my hand was used to using a pen. I consider myself a C+ RANK now.

I was never like the Art kid in class..it was a Girl.
When someone would ask who was the worst artist in class they would all point at me.
Even the Teacher would laugh at my shitty work..and i would belive it..i would too say i was the worst.
But then i took an Interesst for art and started drawing Manga, and still then people would call my art shit.
How can people be so mean to a fucking 4th grader fucking hell.
> skip to highschool first year
> find out about fundamentals
> study like crazy, every day atleast 5 hours.
Now all trying to suck my dick.

pust wirk

I was an arty kid, my art was pretty good and I enjoyed it. My teachers in high school told me that I'd make a good architect but I just brushed if off as a stupid thing to pursue. Now that I'm choosing where to go for university, my friends are planning to do courses in animation and design and fine art and I'm doing mathematics because it's safe. There's a little part of me that thinks that it's such a waste of my creative skills to not be an artist but I was told that there is no money in it.

>realize it's only about "ranks" and "power level" if you make it this way
>realize giving yourself and others a grade is actually a terrible way to improve your art
