I want to learn drawing since I spend every day alone and create fantasy worlds with unique characters, but I'm sure I'd get nowhere due to how clumsy I am. I've never succeeded at anything.

>>34219734
Keep telling yourself you're good at something but you just don't try, that really convinces me.

just because you're good at drawing doesn't maen you're creative

>>34219734
At least you have talent. You have something that differentiates you from most people. You have a purpose in life. I don't, OP. I'll never be able to take a blank canvas and create a masterpiece. I'm not actually good at anything.

tl;dr: You have a purpose in life, so quit squandering your gift.

Try a year and a half

I dont even know why.

I want to go back to drawing but then I think about how long its been since I last did it and I know all that skill I learned has rotted away and I will be back at near square one and instead of improving myself and my drawing all that time I was squandering it away for reasons I'm not even sure of.

The big question.
Of course I've been thinking about this a lot. Maybe thinking about it also is part of the procrastination game.
If I find a solution applicable to others, I'll make a book of it and become rich.

State of the art theory about why I suck:
> disclaimer: anecdotal experience may not apply to other real Robots

> Lack of peer pressure
Doing art for myself like a real autist isn't my thing. I like it when I post OC and people mock me or ask for more. Maybe I'm a buffoon to the core.

> Lack of routine, inability to establish and keep them

When I achieve to put them into place, I can go on for weeks. Then if anything disturbs them, I'm done for.
It's pathological (I don't want to hazard any guess here, I don't believe in self-diagnosis), as an example I've been going to a gym for 3 years now, there are 2 levels and I never went to the 2nd one. I could but I just always do the same routine and I can't explain why.
I need hours alone, if someone interrupts me, I can't refocus. I've been reading a book for a week now and I'm at page 30. Brain is kill.

> Wageslaving is the mind killer

After a day of work I need hours of 4chan. I'll admit it simply: it's an addiction.
Stop 4chan: waster the same hours on vidya.
Stop vidya: waste the same hours on movies.
Force myself: find myself back on 4chan.
Entirely my fault, won't try to deny it.
If I don't have some peace of mind, I just come back here instead of doing something useful.

> JUST

Notice the irony. I'm one of the few cases where the "JUST" meme would be applicable. I could just do it.

Here's one of the Bargue plates I did just before the start of 2015 (not that copying is impressing, just to show that at least once I tried to tackle this honestly).
Then after a few months I found a new job sucked my soul away, I thought I had finally my life on track and it destroyed me to suck at my job, which in turn made me stop drawing.

I started working on a webcomic recently but progress is at glacial pace. Need probably another 8 pages or so before starting to publish it, and even then it'd take years to get even a hundred readers. Did similar stuff in the past and never managed to get anywhere. While doing that I've been drawing other stuff and posting it online at various places, but rarely attracts any "views"/"followers" etc.

I have never written something in more than one sitting. I have pretty severe memory problems so if I come back to it I have no memory of writing it and it feels creepy.

It was fun when I started doing it cause it was something to do now it's the only thing I can do I comprehend anon, it gets boring after 1 or 2 years cause you start actually wanting to be something off of it (famous, money, whatever) but you start to feel like it's a waste of time

Look anon, just apply yourself forget everything about how boring and tedious it is just do it cause you want to do it and you like to do it not the other way around

Thanks Anon.
Maybe one of us will find the light one day.
I've been waiting for some kind of "sign" but imho it's just me being delusionnal. We've to make this things happen.

Worst thing is that deep down I believe that if I could make it a permanent habit then it would be like an addiction and I would have no problem doing it all day long.

There was a job where I almost sent myself to the hospital because I took a liking to it and boom, workoholic for the first time in my life, until my back was hurt.

That looks really good, keep drawing that way then when you want and can afford it get a tablet and you're off to a better start than those who buy a tablet but with little prior experience in traditional drawing.

>>34225963
I doodled in school during class (mostly math), and anytime I finished my assignments or had free time I would draw, drawing to escape the boredeom and the banality of the classroom.

Then I did the same in college, and in work for a brief period in the break room, just drawing. I had no other distractions, no smartphone with internet so I would draw and I got really good at it.

Then I stopped working, became NEET and 3 years later here I am, drawing maybe once a month or two.

usually people learn with book loomis or some shit. technically it isn't step by step tutorial. it's mostly theory
if you are total noob then fuck the book sadly art has 'education' but there's no Formal resource

just draw what you see accurately that's the practice when i was total shit
start with the draw natural stuff and draw 3d object. next step is drawing portrait.

>How many hours a day did you work? What
it depends on day sometime i draw 12 hours in day but sometime just don't do any shit this is not good example of study you'd rather drawing 4-6 hour every day

but don't trust this post so much i'm still mediocore tier and it just my experience

>>34225963
OP here
I just sticked with drawing X hours every day,when you get used to that work routine you feel the X hours of drawing aren't enough so you start practicing more time.

>>34226802
Not OP, but try to draw big and use your arm more than your wrists.
Carpal tunnel is a bitch.

>>34226802
you have to be disciplined,draw 2-3 hours or what you feel you can do,also study and draw both theoric stuff like basic perception or anatomy and loose sketchs,try doing clean drawings when you can.

>>34219734

I had a similar problem. I actually bought a tablet, but I can draw properly on it. normally my art is at least ok, but when I use the tablet it goes back to shitty 8th grade levels.

I enjoy drawing. I'm trying to get better but I've been bummed out and unmotivated

>>34219734
I'm good at filmaking/directing and video editing but I haven't finished a proper project in years

All I have to my name is a cool looking demo reel and a whole bunch of uncompleted projects lying in the back of my mind

I think I might also be really good at writing but I've never really gotten into well, actually writing. I just do it in my head. I have a complete 4 season television show planned out in my head from beginning to end. Characters, motivations, story arcs, climaxes, everything except the actual invidual episodes.

It's sorta like a mix between ghostbusters, men in black and stranger things. The premise is kinda confusing but I'll try to simplify it.

There's two dimensions/universes that exist side by side. One is ours- it has laws that make sense. The other is this sort of quantum vacuum of chaos of eldritch beings that we cannot comprehend. Every now and then some of their world leaks into ours and vice versa.

If something does cross through, it's essentially nigh unkillable. Logic and all the laws of physics don't apply to it so they are extremely dangerous and may drive someone to madness from a single glance. The only way they can be beaten is with a phoslyre- a musical intrument invented by these ancient robotic gods (think greek mythology) attuned to the atomic resonance or music- of the fabric of our universe.

If you play the right tune with a phoslyre, you can realign the matter of something from the other universe with our own, and it will become innert and collapse. It's all about order/disorder and there's a whole bunch of complicated plots involving the ancient greek robot gods, the humans, the ancient titans who crossed over into the other realm and became corrupted, the concept of free will in humanity created by the gods by implanting small amounts of the chaos matter in our minds-

Anyway it's probably stupid but I've got it all planned out and it seems like a great idea- but so does everything else in my head

Maybe you should focus on rekindling that initial passion and feeling that got you interested in starting music, to begin with. Don't focus on being "original" or even "good." Just experiement with the notes, the sounds, abstract feelings or very simple ones. Just make music/art for yourself first and foremost, man.

Talent is a pursued interest, too. Just keep at it, don't focus too much on the end project, just create. You got this, man.

Have heard this advice so many times. The only people who believe this are people who are already talented and convinced it's "just passion" or people who aren't talented but know that they can still "try harder." I know from firsthand experience that it's entirely possible to have genuine interest and passion for something and never gain any talent or skill in it.

Going to a film school next year and I've already done some work in the local film industry as a cameraman/production assistant.

Once I get out of film school I'll do whatever jobs I can get as one of the grunts, cameraman, editing, lighting, whatever on big movies while networking and making short films on the side whenever I can. Hopefully at some point one of them gets recognized at a film festival or something and then I start getting directing jobs

By then I'll have something written down and a solid pitch for the show so I'll pitch it to some network, netflix most likely

>Tfw you've been drawing nothing but stylized cartoony shit your whole life and now you have to backtrack to properly learn drawing fundamentals but it's a lot more difficult now since you're only used to drawing in your own style.

>Tfw you're also too lazy to even try to improve, but you know that if you even want to stand a chance in the animation inustry, you're going to have to very soon.

I'm brilliant at music but every time I try to write lyrics I just feel like I'm not saying anything important and nobody's going to feel anything or like it and I'm just going to look like an idiot.

I wish I had even an ounce of creativity. I wish I could create something rather than consume for once in my life. I'm at the point where I'm jealous of Chrischan, his work may be childish but it's more than I could ever think up.

You hit the part of the difficulty curve where it gets unrewarding: you stop seeing so much improvement for the effort you put in. That's when it takes self-discipline, when it doesn't come so easily, when it becomes a gift that you give yourself through your determination.

It's a weird feel. I barely manage to play my guitar maybe once a month now as well. I used to practice for hours and hours on end back in the day.

I guess I'm reaching the end of my rope. Sometimes I just stare at the walls in my room all day.

Good reason not to use the QR. Or to copy and paste your post into Notepad and continue there when you hit the 5 minute mark.

Ive always been compimented on my drawing skills but never really did anything significsnt with them. Until I got out of HS I always felt like I was too good for those classes. Every other "artist" in my school and the AP classes drew/ painted/ created the most generic, unispired shit and I was convinced that if I joined the classes I would end up just like them. Jokes in me though, most of them went on and actually made some nice money on the side with their art while Im still drawing shitty half finished comics in my spare time :'^)

>>34225963
My process was honestly just talent. Always had a natural knack for it and I would just naturally incorporate things I liked abut better artists into my own stuff as I went along, never really had to sit down and practice. Except hands and feet, those are still a bitch to this day.

>>34219734
I feel the same about reading and writing. Im depressed though sounds like you may be.

This but while I sont have aphantasia my visualization ability is really weak and I cant really hold images and scenes in my minds eye for long, and they are not that detaioed and colorful, I cant see everything at once have to focus on specfic areas of detail and its not as vivid as dreams might be either

Want to learn to lucid dream so I can do creative things there and experience them vividly and real lifelike but too lazy right now to get into it properly

>>34238518
i don't know, maybe you should post something you actually drew and not an old picture that also gives a billion results in google's image search

>>34238693

But I drew that.

>>34239038
no, you didn't
even the filename indicates it came from 4chan and you just saved the picture (which was posted on january 17, yesterday)
on top of that, you can easily find original artist's name and his galleries on the internet
just stop

This is probably the best art I've done.

It's so peaceful I think

>>34239205

you know that someone drew that picture, right? You know that the internet didn't just spontaneously create it, right? How do you know you aren't speaking to the person who drew it?

>>34239470
why would you post and then save your own image that you posted

>>34239470
because
>that person is a professional artist with over 1100 images on the internet
>that person doesn't need validation from a shitty taiwanese knitting forum
>that person is japanese and would rather do this on 2ch, if at all
enough?

Good reasons, but it doesn't change the fact that I am him. Now, do you like my work?

>>34239774
you're not him
if you were him, you'd be able to post a .psd file of one of your works, complete with different uncompressed layers
go ahead, we're waiting
