Draw whatever you want and once you're done with a piece, figure out what looks off about it and keep it in mind for when you practice

Rinse and repeat and you'll be able to have fun and improve at the same time

If you want to have fun, draw crazy shit for fun, but if you want to get better, grind them fundies. Simple, mate.

Why do people here have such a hard time just separating practice and fun?
You can spend 3 hours in the morning practicing and doing studies, then do an hour or more of drawing for fun later as well. Its not like you have to spend ALL your time studying.

Because I'm not a cute anime girl.

I don't know. I think seeing yourself getting better is another kind of fun.

On the other hand, I don't put any pressure on myself

even if you become technically proficient you will never be able to create anything of any aesthetic quality because you have shit taste

There's an old saying "on the internet, no one knows you're a dog". You don't have to show everything you draw to people you know, just dump the ones you are ashamed of on an unrelated twitter or tumblr if you have to get them out there.
Depending on your goals you can strike a balance between serious and less fun studies and drawing the things you want for fun, it helps you from burning out.
Learning how to reasonably care less about what others think gets easier with age, just use common sense and focus on what you want to achieve.

Also, don't stop yourself from drawing for fun just because 'you aren't yet good enough' because you'll never get ’good enough'. It's a common mistake to feel you can only draw an idea once, draw it now and draw it again a year later if you want to make it better. Later on you'll likely have to draw the same piece many times over and over before finishing one anyway, and quantity over quality is more important to learning at the beginning.

>Get into the industry

Yea, drawing for fun is key.
Grinding for "fundies" doesn't work. You can ask any pro about this. In fact, have you ever seen those who grind fundies all day? They suck.

I will have to disagree.

When you want to get so good in art and place your ranks among the great, when you want to create good art that you feel proud of and put value into the world, you're going to put in effort.

unless you were born a genius, but even then, genius/talented people fall short of when they don't put in the effort where it's due.

What I'm talking about is the ardous hours that you need to spend to hone various aspects of your craft.

Be it figure drawing, or 'exploration' (the most painful part), there are fun times, but the times where you struggle will be there too.

And when you do it 'just for fun', there will be no satisfaction, and the moment you hit a roadblock/frustration, you'll go 'this isn't fun anymore' and you'll quit.

Did you ever see someone being successful and not having fun doing it?
If it's no fun, why even draw in the first place?

If they're good at art they'll know it takes a lot of time and effort to get good, so they know the person's age really has fuck-all to do with it.

If they're not good at art, well why does their opinion matter? It's not like they could make something better than you anyway, and they're likely your age or older.

I have fun in studying and learn new methods of painting. Learn how to use the values in which situation. Analyze (hoho anal...yaze) how the old masters mastered the mastership of composition.

So: Why not have fun in studying? Or be proud of what you do.

I dunno, I recall when I played football in high school my teammate pulled me over. he pointed out that I was having too much fun at practice and taking the games too seriously. he Said that to optimize my skill I should take practice seriously so that I can have fun at games, or in this case final drawings. I'll try to think the other way around

This isn't an opinion, retard.
