What's your reason why you do art ? My reason is to make

I make art so I don't murder millions of people.

I do art because I think it's fun to be able to turn my thoughts into images. Creating things out of nothing.

I'm also vaguely interested in creating some kind of 'objective art', that makes every person who sees it feel the same thing. Obviously that's probably unachievable but it's still a fun challenge.

passes the time. im single. i still have a goal to use my art for games. i still hold onto the fact i might do some freelance work for some games companies. also as a kid i used to be into anime illustrations like that one and wanted to be that good, but ended up becoming inspired by different illustration styles, hoping to get that good some day. art is a life long journey for me, it's all about challenging myself to push my image to the best i can do.

>>3098298
I do art because I love videogames and the art of them inspired be throughout my life.

i started because i was starting to hate everything i saw, and then i realized it's the only thing i am somewhat acceptable at, and i want to be proud of it one day if i fail at everything else.

I want to draw my waifu all day and whatever cute grill i come across.

I just wanna make good art some day. I wanna make people think "Hey, that's some good shit" when they see my art. And drawing is pretty relaxing, too.

>>3098298
It's the only thing I'm decent at

>>3098298
It's not a choice for me. I've been doing it since I could hold a crayon. It's part of who I am, and I can't just turn it off. Not being a creative professional was never an option for me, and not painting and drawing in my spare time never even came to my mind. There's no ego in it - if I don't, I go a little crazy. It's how I'm wired. Even if I lived in a cave and never saw other people, I'd still be doing it, because I love everything about it - the process itself keeps me sane, interested and entertained. I can mix paint for hours.

I want to be the best artist.

>>3098413
also this pretty much.

I've been drawing since childhood, all my life I spend in art schools, one year left for masters degree in oil painting(useless degree unless you want to be a teacher) I used to do it because I liked doing it, later I did it because I was inspired by the people around me, after that I did it because I couldn't stand not doing it, then I did it for the love I had...but now, now I only do it to let out built up stress and anger. I've come to resent it and everything related to it. I'm trying to find fun and joy in it once more but when I paint I get real close to very painful memories and it gets too painful to do it anymore. I hate that I hate it and I hate that I can't go on without doing it. Right now I'm painting the walls for schools, kindergartens, guess its not that bad, you get to pain, yet its a long and exhausting work, takes your mind away from things, but the unfinished canvas in my room still haunt me. Art is bullshit.

I'm probably not gonna have kids and I want to have at least some impact on the world that comes after me. Also art is the only thing i can see me actually enjoying for the rest of my life.

It feels like I have to. Everytime I see a blank surface I feel the need to draw on it. It feels like fi I don't draw I'll explode.

>>3098298
Aesthetic? Nigga wtf is going on with that neck?

it makes me feel like im doing something

>>3098298
I make art because I'm bored. I treat it as a video game and it's kind of fun leveling up.

>>3098298
My sister gave me her old tablet with the screen and shit and I found it pretty enjoyable to create what your mind thinks of and visibly put it down.
I dont deserve this tablet, i'm fucking horrible at drawing but it's great.

Ive been hooked ever since I saw my childhood showed me how to draw a chair on paper by constructing a diamond shape and drawing down three vertical lines for the legs and two vertical lines up for the back rest.

I was impressed allright, I stole that idea of his ever since and learnt 5 years ago that little faggot was trifling with what is widely known as construction now.

that was a long time ago in somalia, Africa. havent seen him in 15 years and I wish to make them proud some day.

Its tough right now. because training training everyday. I hope to thoroughly enjoy it some day though.

i was drawing since i was a kid. not seriously/studiously until freshman year of highschool, though. since then i feel like i have to improve. i want to, but i feel like i NEED to before a certain point in time. i do love art, dont get me wrong, but i cant stop because i fear if i do i would have wasted so much of my life, shut in my room practicing. i dont even have any finished pieces. its all just studies and sketches. im pathetic (lol i am improving/have improved though)

>>3098319
Pretty much this

>>3098298
I'm getting into drawing because I want to replicate all of the dreams that I remember from my childhood up to now, I'm afraid of forgetting those dreams, they are so comfy and they give me a feeling similar to nostalgia.

>>3098303
how's that working out hitler

cause i want to tell stories with pictures. i love comics. i don't know what i'd do if i got my hands cut off in a freak accident or something, it's so unlikely but basically 3/4 of my life would be rendered pointless. i get upset if i can't draw.

also i don't have the grades or, i suspect, the disposition for medical school/science

desu just in it for the fap material. I got a lot of sick fantasies not even the nips can do justice.

I want to create something truly beautiful in the future, especially with concepts that aren't traditionally considered as such. Take for example a scene full of gore, blood, and dead bodies or a insane person in a madhouse. I want to make it look like something even a total normie will consider lovely.

Also, making a comic book or a manga would be something that I would like to do in between big projects.

I like competition, art is a great place to step on the weak and surpass others with extreme hard work. Once I take my art to the point where I could work for a company, I'll move onto Music making.

i need something to be good at that also won't chain me to a normie mcjob

Biding my time. It's a constructive way to escape reality. I feel like I've always been defined as an artist, even as a dumb kid. So it's the identity I default to. I'm not sure if I want to change that, but I know I couldn't.
Also lewd things.

I just wanna write a manga. I was thinking about movie-scripts, but I work in the movie industry and it's a fucking shit-fest, I wanna have full control, at most collaborate with people to give me idea for characters or draw backgrounds.

>>3099646
I'm also hoping art will get me pussy easier.

>>3098298
It's the only thing I really care about and return to. I've tried electrical installation and steel production but they get scary when exhausted. At least art doesn't kill you.

Pettiness.
I chose science over art school, but I resent the idea that my friends in art school get to draw all day and get all these fun classes while I barely get time to draw during the school year. I want to prove a point by getting just as good, if not better than them at art.

Im an injun on an indian reservation. No jobs here - well, not enough for everyone. Rolled my car in a wreck. Cant drive out of town for work. Painting and selling my paintings - it's the only way I make cash these days.

also dig the ego strokin' that comes from being a decent artist.

>>3099999

>>3099943
well you just fucking write it

if it's good enough people are gonna flock towards it, with enough of an audience you can self-publish, which would be ideal for me, I don't want no Marvel cunt telling me I need more diversity

I kinda mean it for a hobbie anyway, but if it succeeds its obviously gonna generate income. People in general crave entertainment. Your only worry should be to create something good and entertaining, just worry about monetizing once it already is getting traction, no easy way around it.

I used to want to make manga like you, at a certain point I had 25 pages done but decided that my skills ain't just high enough to achieve what I wanted (complex perspective and shit) and somewhat gave up. Since then I just sort of jumped between wanting to make people go "cool" and earning money. Plus it makes me relax and stop thinking about lung problems.
>>3099959
If you ain't larping that's pretty cool man.

>>3098298
If you aren't japanese, you won't be creating manga. Make a graphic novel instead, in the west that market is far less saturated.

>>3100259
rip, I guess i can stop drawing now tyba

>>3100298
I don't like western comics. Also, I'm not actually going to japan to publish manga anyway. I'll just create a website that everyone can read my work.

I'm only know do this.
Potato man.

I saw my uncle, who was an artist draw.

He could draw any character, from memory almost. and it looked perfect. I was so inspired by someone's ability to create things from their imagination so easily. I was amazed by it. I wanted to do the same. I actually never met him again after that one time, and i dont think he cares about me much and i dont really care about him, but the event stuck with me as very important to why i draw.
The ability to express your imagination is such a wonderful thing.

>>3100756
fuck man. if i had an uncle with godlike drawing ability i would bug him to teach me or some shit.

Unfortunately he is not a very sociable person, and has a very abrasive personality (read as 'asshole'), from what ive heard. Very rigid, strict, went to an art school back when art schools were about classical art and realistic illustrating (hes pretty old now) and has little tolerance for anyone below his skill level. Being a student of his would probably be a hellish experience, Hes an interesting guy though and I cherish the experience of meeting him because it really did inspire me to begin drawing early.

>>3100298
I ain't drawing no round or square noses nigger, and I certainly as hell won't be drawing square giant jaws or orphan cape-shit

>>3100825
not who youre replying to, but the rise of western mangaka is coming. tons of westerners are doing really decent porn and anime style shit these days, its only a matter of time before it starts snowballing into something bigger

Up until high school, I thought I wanted to do it professionally after reading a handful of comic strips like Peanuts and Far Side, but then realized that it was more of a coping method I picked up when my parents divorced at age 9 and all the bitterness that lingered from it.

These days, I do it as a hobby for myself, it's a nice timesink and it's always satisfying seeing something slowly come together and doing it all over again.

I create art in hopes of being remembered, great or not I just fear not leaving anything behind for people to know me by. It's kinda edgy and self centered but I hope its honest.

I want to make pretty images.

That's pretty much it.

>>3098298
I didn't start drawing to show it to other people. Since I started to watch series or played any game, I always imagined new characters with a story and everything, but I could never draw the character like I imagined. It's also a very comfy hobby.

I want to draw kawaii weebcomic grills

I'm scared to shit of death and even if I know I will die at some point, maybe art can make my name stay alive.

I'm in school for accounting and I just realized I don't want to work as an accountant for the rest of my life so I have 2 years till graduation to get good.

Seriously though, how can people actually do this shit for a living? It's horrible.

What else would I do? It's so ingrained in me, without it there isn't much left of me.

I draw because I think it's a skill I'd like to improve over the years. Art is a beautiful thing, making things with style and canons or experimentation, creation, intelligent design, blah blah blah, you get it.
However, it's not my main goal in life to be good at art, and I don't crunch on gains. If I ever managed to get really good at it, I'd make some cool stuff for as long as I can, and that's it.
Some people here are seriously worried about dayhours spent on training because they think art is their only possible way in life and want to rush it. They're very stupid.

I'm only drawing because its easy to have the resources to practice. I am homeless because I am full of contempt and don't really want to do anything or exist in any sense. But I remain all the same so I guess I have to find something to do. I'll spend the time getting good at drawing and then I'll look back and say "yep that's what happened in that time" and thats about it.
