Hello /ic/ I am kinda new on this board but I think I will spend

She's right, you do need talent, you haven't talked to those who failed yet.

>Drawing is a talent and if you didn't have the talent you shouldn't waste your time trying to draw
Your teacher sounds like a failure. People on here will parrot that too because they are just lazy fucks and then get jealous when others progress faster than them. Those people exist everywhere.

If you want to learn and put effort into it, you WILL see results sooner or later. You can do it faggot.

Everyone has some innate genetic talent, some people just learn certain things faster than others and art is no exception. BUT nobody was every born able to draw shit and everyone has to learn. Its little faggots who say 'oh I always wanted to draw but I don't have the gift for it' who are the people who shouldn't waste their time since their attitude is so terrible.

Bottom line is, you can't do anything about your innate ability, but you can try and as long as you're trying that's all anyone can ask of you.

We had a thread that is currently purging on the subject of talent >>2981504

If you ask me, I don't know or care whether or not "talent" actually exists or is required, but I know that the key to becoming adept at pretty much anything is to always stay analytical of your efforts, always work to improve your weak points and never stagnate. Once you've internalized that mindset then there's nothing stopping you from learning anything, no matter what subject.

it sorta depends.
what do you want to do art for is the first thing.
if it's just for hobby or fun then it doesnt matter. You have no timeframe to get good and can spend as much time as you need to to get as good as you want.

however if you want to make money or a living off of it... it depends again.

there a ton of people who make money off their art and it basic af blobs. or calarts looking or tumblrite art.

and a ton of skillful artists who struggle to even make 100$ a month.

so talent really doesn't have anything to do with art. Unless you are looking for instant gratification then that's where talent comes in.

If you're able to think critically and use abstract thought, you can draw.

>"Drawing is a talent and if you didn't have the talent you shouldn't waste your time trying to draw."

... and that's why she became an art teacher instead of an artist.

You're 20. I'm not a neuroscientist with a thesis on neuroplasticity, but I do know that 20 isn't too late. Consider the other side of the coin, would you give up now and then have regrets in your 30's?

Also, why the hell do you think that you don't have a talent for drawing. How can you know how far your brain can take you if you don't put it on trial.

I had not a SINGLE good art teacher in school. No wonder thought, which good artist would like to teach in public school, where being retard is prevalent. You just gotta learn it yourself, like everything valuable in life.
