Why bother making art

>>3109328
to test how good you can become?
the intent isn't always to create something original

because that'll be me soon. depressing other artists into quitting because they'll never be as good as me

NGMI-chan a cute!

the world is ever changing. we are evolving. new things are there to be expressed.

Because art history isn't taught in schools

Because when you're abducted by aliens and they're trying to communicate with you, but it's beyond all understanding because its literally not from this world, that you can sit down and display to them the entirety of human history in a single way that convinces them not to simply annihilate the planet and that hey, maybe

When you take that phrase and change the subject it sounds like a completely retarded question. For example:

"Why bother [becoming a scientist] when everything you want to [discover] has already been done by [scientists] who are more skilled and talented than you'll ever be?"

Why ask a dumb ass question like that for art when there will always be something to explore as society evolves? First things first, originality is fickle, as long as it isn't straight up plagiarism it shouldn't be a major topic of discussion. Second, why the fuck would I care if some other dumbfuck expressed his feelings, if I want to express my feelings I'll do so without even thinking about whether or not someone has expressed those feelings before because you shouldn't give a shit if someone has expressed their feelings, if you haven't expressed your feelings then you can do so. And then, as for being talented and more skilled, that's some bullshit every kid tells themselves when they're young and shitty, for just about anything, it doesn't have to be art, it could be a sport, just practice my man (this can be applied to most any subject really). Don't be such a dumb ass and get that dumb ass question out of here.

Why bother living when everyone else is better than you at it?

what is a good sign that your idea isn't well developed and that if you really want to do it you need to spend more time on it.

My art is my life.
If I cant draw, I will die.

Tzundere anon!

There is no reason to do nothing, nothing pushes or obliges you to do it, we do it because we find pleasure in it.
If you can´t or won´t accept such an easy and simple fact you won´t be able to enjoy anything in life.
There is no need for you to become interesting or creative but if you somehow manage one day to become either then, good for you.

>>3109328
I doubt anyone has drawn everything I want to draw. That would be impossible.

>>3109328
if it's worth expressing it's worth repeating and rephrasing. most people don't learn the first time they're exposed to a new idea.

This. What if they could print living organisms and the only thing they had to go on was your drawings of what they look like.

They're not me though.

You think I lament the progress of someone who has beaten Donkey Kong Country faster than me? I learn from those people.

If I can make that knowledge interesting and useful, and inspire others of my chosen vocation to do the same, I've done my job.

Tis not about the destination, young lad. But only about the journey up hill.

I only want to be better than 99% of /ic/. In that way I can talk shit and never get hit.

>>3109328
Its never impossible to be original, as you could always make the same thing as someone else, but slightly different. If you run out of canvas space, add some more; it's new. Even if differences become infinitesimal, artists will always have the opportunity for originality.

Because it hasn't been expressed by ME

>>3109393
you are right, let me give it a try

> Why bother making shitposts when everything you want to discuss has already been done by anons who are more skilled and talented than you'll ever be?

BUT WHAT ABOUT DRAGONS? We can't forget the dragons.

Often ask myself this. Drawing is still the only thing I can think about.

>implying any artists know my fucked up fetishes

>>3109328
Okay so why not just kill ourselves then? Are our lives going to accomplish anything fundamentally new or profound as a whole? Doubtful

>>3111065
there's an artist for every fetish, you're never alone. i have a pretty uncommon fetish and found whole art communities for it.

>>3109328
> When everything you want to express has already been done by artists

I know that's shitpost, but that could hardly be more wrong.
