Why not just become an artist? Then people will praise you for being depressed and weird
Why not just become an artist? Then people will praise you for being depressed and weird

because i have no talent
Matthew Cruz
because artists are probably the most annoying group of faggots on the planet
Nathaniel Long
I've got this weird thing where my hand constantly shakes
I can't even write really.

>goto /ic/ for tips
>see work that is way above anything could ever achieve getting ripped to shreds
>give up

Because the talent pool is global now and there's barely any money in it for the average mediocre artist unless they somehow build a following. Like other creative fields such as music and acting, the top 1% get 99% of the income. For example, sakimichan was getting over $30,000 a month on Patreon before she hid the dollar value, while others spend hours struggling to discern whether they have "talent" and only get offers to be paid in "exposure." They also have a tendency to be mentally ill pretentious faggots

>go to the /beginner/ general
>even the worst art by people who started drawing yesterday is better than anything I've ever made
Chase Murphy
That's how I get money to not leave my house. Degenerates pay a lot for degenerate art.
Sebastian Mitchell
this
furries will pay a ridiculous amount, where the fuck do they even have that kind of money? pic related is on the lower end, I've seen many charging $300-500+ for full body portrait
Oliver Hughes
Too bad I wasn't born a girl. Simone Giertz was making $7k a month before she pulled her income. Imagine, dropping out of school and shitposting your stupidity and making $7k a month. Filthy Frank probably had to have a job to afford his vodka everyday to keep that shit going.
Nicholas Sullivan
you have to make money before anybody considers you a real artist and not just some guy
I think in commercial art there's also a lot of cliques and nepotism
Asher Russell
I was, until I became depressed and stopped drawing/painting entirely. It doesn't have any use in getting people to praise you even when you're good if you're friendless in the first place. I'm still alright so in theory I could just start a twitter acc, draw a shit tonne of fanart, and eventually get a lot of followers. But what's the use when you aren't willing to sell yourself like that?
Levi Martin
I can't draw. My hands don't work.
Jonathan Reed
You know talent is something you get and not have right?
"I don't have any paper airplanes."
Start folding nigger.
Kevin Jones
what if I don't have hands.
Oliver Barnes
I'm just passing through because I thought you guys might have funny threads on Bezos, but this caught my eye.
Gettin good art takes around six years of 4 to 6 hour daily practice. Most depressed people that draw do it as their coping mechanism; depressed people that didn't already use art for relief tend to lack the dedication and are averse to thinking on the scale of years, making serious art study virtually impossible to pick up and maintain, especially if you're in your mid twenties comparing yourself to artists who started drawing in middle school to ignore mom and dad fighting again
Jackson Powell
>Gettin good art takes around six years of 4 to 6 hour daily practice
no it doesn't.
and you sound like a massive faggot
James Campbell
>Gettin good art takes around six years of 4 to 6 hour daily practice.
ah, so that's why I'm shit and edgy 13yo middle schooler weebs blow me the fuck out in terms of artistic ability. Makes sense
Parker Turner
Paint with your feet, academic artfags would love you.
Jose Moore
Yes it does retard you just have low standards for good. If you want to draw your girlyboi porn like an okay deviantart or furaffinity artist it might only take one or two years, but the estimate I posted is the bare minimum for professional level skill.
Dominic Myers
>praised through school for being a decent writer
>try to write for fun
>im sorry, but this is shit
why bother
Lucas Rodriguez
>no it doesn't.
????
Motherfucker, do you not understand how good you have to be to be a "professional artist" that's respected (if you aren't naturally inclined to art)?
Dylan King
keep trying user, I believe in you, you'll write something great - maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but you will eventually. Look to the future friend.
Mason Flores
are you really going to emberass yourselves any further
Ryder Johnson
What's the point here?
>I don't get modern art ergo you don't need to be good
Don't act like a brainlet.
Nathan Howard
i went to art school for six years and i haven't drawn anything in over five because everything at the end just ended up looking like shit to me. a blank piece of paper and some crayons was all i needed as a child to endlessly entertain myself, now empty canvases///blank pages fill me with dread
Jose Rogers
whether i "get" modern art or not is completely besides the point, moron.
Are you reallly suggesting you need to wank off a pencil for 25 hours every day for 6 years to be able to be able to make pic related? Skill and technical prowess don't matter, creativity does.
Josiah Morales
thanks user i really appreciate that
orignal
Luis Ortiz
>imblyign some of us aren't
(or at least aspiring ones)
Asher Morales
Okay now look up any modern artists master studies.
Parker Cooper
Nigga are you really imlpying you think you need a masters degree to make this shit
Cooper Johnson
It's too late. I'm already in my 20s, not a teenager in school that still has the capacity and time to pick things up. I'm not even succeeding as a normal wagie so there's no way I'm capable of choosing even harder paths like being an artist. I wasn't even good at or enjoyed art back when I did go to school so I'm sure it won't end well trying to force myself to do it.
Mason Barnes
Master studies is an art term it doesn't mean your masters degree
Lucas Hernandez
6 years of 4-6 hours is a massive exaggeration- you can become a professional with far less work, considering the abundance of photobashing and 3d modeling that people utilize nowadays
pic related: fzd- it may not be masters level, but it's good enough for professional work
Christopher Harris
This. But there is a way - drawing smut. Draw some niche fetish stuff and you get shitload of money even for rather average tier art. There are people on fagtreon who get literal tens of thousands a month for drawing monster girls with dicks raping traps or furries or something.
Nathan Rivera
sounds like you're bitter over not being one
Nolan Thompson
My brother is an artist and his art and dedication destroys my confidence.
Made worse by the fact that he had his confidence destroyed by looking at other artists
Nolan Gomez
I'd rather just build stuff in Minecraft, I'm already experienced with that.
