What age are you now, and how good are you at drawing vs when you started drawing?
Do you think you have what it takes?
>>2556057
Seeing as I'm already jealous of this person I've never seen before, I probably have what it takes.
I'm 19 and have been drawing for 2 years i see no improvement. I know it's because I don't draw as much as i should. I can't find the motivation to keep drawing.
>>2556057
>17
damn, they're not even old enough to post on 4chan
>>2556070
I am ashamed when I think back on what I was drawing at 17, nowhere near this level. At all.
I needed my daily dose of self loathing anyway.
my style is kinda weird so its hard to judge if i got good or not
>pic related
>>2556057
I could have been near her level...but tutorials back in the day fucked me up
I spent my summers learning from bad tutorials like the structure of man anatomy series to just mindlessly copying loomis. If only I found /ic/ 10 years ago I'd be somewhere.
>>2556057
18 now and I started drawing when I turned 16 and got my first sketchbook. I had of course drawn prior to that but when i turned 16 I actually started enjoying it and wanted to improve
>>2556071
instead of doing that maybe draw?
>>2556057
>tfw at 17 I was hyped up a lot and showed a ton of potential with some people thinking I would be the next big thing
>6 years later and I have improved but not as much as I should have
SERIOUS QUESTION: Is it physically possible for someone who's in their early 20s who's still a beginner to get this good or have we missed our mark? Our brains are probably no longer "spongy" enough to soak up all the shit this 17 year old learnt when she was 10.
I'm 22, been drawing since I was a toddler. I never really tried to get better and have difficulty finishing my stuff, but I don't really mind. I think I've gotten better over the years.
People really wish they would have started at a younger age. I do too, but whenever I meet some pros who ask me how old I am they say: "You're still young! You have all time of the world!"
I don't what to make of it.
t. 22 yo
>>2556098
it is entirely possible. just have to practice a lot.
I am 33.
About the same level I was at, when I started with 33.
Sure, anyone does.
>>2556098
25 is the cut of age my friend. After that, the average male artist begins to rapidly lose neuroplasticity.
>>2556098
20 is the time when most people enter college to study far more difficult shit than art. do you think surgeons have dissected bodies since early childhood or something? Just what is it with art that attracts all these defeatist losers and their "spongy brain" pseudoscience?
>>2556114
so pretty much you're screwed if you're 25 and over? fuck. this seems true even if i don't want it to be
>>2556057

>>2556117
It's really hard to tell if people like you are genuinely retarded or just trolling.
>>2556116
There's a difference between following procedural tasks and creating art, making good art is far from just cold calculated steps.
>>2556122
I know that anyone can improve at any age, but it's hard to find people who started later in life making genuinely good art. I'm looking at people like Sycra, this guy started in his early 20's had all the time in the world to grind art yet his art is still missing something.
>>2556098
Mullins started at 23, Min Yum started at 25
>>2556124
all im hearing is
>im trying to make up as many excuses as i can so i can justify me being shit
shut the fuck up and get on that art grind nigga.
>>2556124
> I'm looking at people like Sycra, this guy started in his early 20's had all the time in the world to grind art yet his art is still missing something.
Yeah, but guess what, that 17 year old girl OP posted will most likely go down that same path, just like 99% of every other artist. the only difference is that when they start younger, they'll hit their plateau earlier. Just look at Sakimichan as the perfect example. She drew all her life and she's just as good now as she was in her late teens. To make exceptional art, you need to be an exceptional person. The age you started matters fairly little when it comes to that.
all those "kids" drawing are fake lol. they are people on solid 20 but they abuse from normie people on media, if u say that u are a girl drawing porn you get more audience in less time. i dont say every kid drawing is fake but is easy to know the difference.
this person obviously can "copy" aritist styles but have 0 consistence.

dude, artist on social media are the worst, i see people attention whoring at the point that they signature paints on WIP, and thake photos of themself drawing/painting but the shit is already with signature.
All artist that post shit in social media is a potential sociopath or attention whore.
>>2556117
yeah, it's all over once you reach the age of 25, if you haven't made it by then you've far better off just quitting and doing something else.

What
Being good to young can actually be bad, look at sinix got good really quickly and fucked up a dream job as concept artist at ea because he he couldn't handle it.
If these people get jobs there is a decent chance they'll fuck up and screw them selves over for future work.
>>2556057
22
Much better than when I started but still shit
No just because of my lack of focus. Cant sit at the table for more than an hour at a time
>>2556057
I'm now 21, I guess I really started wanting to improve at age 13. My improvement has been slow and patchy and looking at my Improvement meme from '96 to '15 really shows I have been slacking on a lot of fundamentals.
No idea, but I'll always keep trying.
>>2556162
> fucked up a dream job as concept artist at ea
what happened?
>>2556057
dang I wish I was as good as her I'm pretty fucking mediocre and I do want to get better
but you really can't help but get depressed and jealous sometimes
>>2556073
fundamentals are always a good way to guage how much you're improved since regardless of how stylized it is fundamentals will always be apparent
unless you're full on contemporary then I guess it's impossible at that point

Yes, I tried to improve and I failed. It's too late, now I just paint color that look pretty to me like a total retard

Read sticky at 18
19 now
It's mildly depressing seeing younger people better than me but in the grand scheme of things my favorite artists are in there 30s and 40s, so one or two years won't hurt.
I'm more worried about getting my dreams crushed by my STEM degree and entering a life of mediocrity.
>>2556283
why are you worried about that, why arent you sure it will
does anyone have any progress pics of someone who started during their 20s?

>>2556361
I've been out of high school for 2 years, there are people who started drawing and got to a professional level on that time and I'm still at about the same mediocre level.
I'm not a beginner but my progress is by no means admirable
Here's a recent thing I did for a friend
>>2556219
oh god
>tfw asked to make animation for PBS at 19
>wasn't even that hard but had a breakdown and never finished
At least they didn't pay up front.

I understand that and think these people progress the most since they look for ways to improve.
>>2556364
>>2556364
>there are people who started drawing and got to a professional level on that time and I'm still at about the same mediocre level.
Then practice more.Draw more,enjoy yourself.No use stressing that someone is better than you.And if they are?
20, started about 2 years ago
way better now but still shit
>do you think you have what it takes?
i wonder that everday
>>2556149
damn
People these days are simply better at a younger age due to the wealth of information available.
Back when I was 16/17, good luck finding any tutorials on painting in photoshop, let alone tutorials on anatomy, values, etc.
>>2556385
How old are you? These things have been around a long time. Anatomy text books have been in print and cheap forever, and the Loomis books used to be ubiquitous online free before they republished them.
People on forums were helpful and came up with tutorials and things for photoshop.
>>2556057
> tfw when I was 16. Gnomon and all that other shit was non existent.
The only thing that got me into art was ben dunn's how to draw manga with fred perry and adam warren. such a good time lol.
>>2556057
I really hate this I draw sometimes~ ^_^ thing
If they're that good at that age, they draw a LOT, and it's really disingenuous to other artists who think they get these results without trying. It's already disheartening enough to see someone younger and better than you; don't belittle yourself, and by extension others, by pretending it took no effort.
Unless of course they do get these results without trying, in which case fuck them.
im 14, just shat this out :3

Pic related,my art.
>>2556057
I'm drawing since I'm like 8 and I'm 19 today. I stopped drawing for several years, maybe 5.
I could be so much better than I am but I never learned, I only assimilate by inspiration
>>2556057
Started drawing July of 2014 when i was 16 if my memory serves me right, currently 18 and i think i've made some decent progress from where i started.
I might have what it takes, but we'll just see how things go i guess
I started in the 4th grade and now I'm a senior in college. I stopped for about 3-4 years after some shit happened in middle school(art related.) When I got my comfortable drawing again, my style had changed so much but it still sucked dick.
So all in all, I've greatly improved art-wise but my wild imagination and all those quirky ideas I once had are now gone.
I'm 23 and I have been drawing for most of my life but only now am I taking it seriously. I still have a far way to go, but I am more or less happy with my progress.

I actually dont go to anything i just stay at home and draw what i like. but thanks!
23 here. I stagnated pretty much from middle school through college and am trying desperately to catch up. I want to do art for a living, it's pretty much all I have.
>>2556057
19 and been drawing for as long as i can remember. first time i got a fire lit under my ass about it was 3 or 4 years ago.
i don't think i have what it takes. i've wasted so much time fucking around and still do. i wish i could travel back in time to lock myself in a cellar with a bunch of sketchbooks and pencils. but instead i've played over 400 hours of tf2. pic related, sketchbook stuff from the beginning of the year. i think i've gotten better than that.
I'm nearly 27 and I'm just starting, so I'm absolute shit.
>Do you think you have what it takes?
Well, yeah, I'm not most stupid guy around and I have some sensitivity and will to awaken my creativity, so maybe I could make something that people will like - or at least I'd be glad with.
Hope that my interest in creative arts will flourish with years, I'll certainly would like to try various mediums, not only painting, but also 3D, sculpting, photography, graphic design...
But as default I have a goal to learn drawing in pen/ink and then move to gouache.
I'm well in my 30's and I am still reading Fun with a Pencil so if I ever get gud, I promise to cheer everyone up. If it happens, which I admit is unlikely. I'll give it my best and this world sure has seen weirder things than another outlier.
>>2556098
Don't worry about neuroplasticity, especially as you're still young. Recent studies show that you still have way enough of it until you're old enough to retire.
See it the other way around, many great artists died untimely deaths, and you on the other hand have extra decades to get at their level.
D/ic/ks often use Mullins as an example of late bloomer, but 23 isn't that old. If there's a dude who made it in his 30's, I would like to know about him.

I used to draw a lot of sonic (ya i know) when i was around 11-13 then I stopped because I got an xbox and just burned my time away doing that. I had barely decent drawings with references but most of it was kinda crappy anime/nickelodeon stuff because i was stuck in the comfort zone.
I want to start fresh but I don't even know where to begin. I know of the two main books that are recommended to beginners but even those seem a bit advanced to me. I don't even know what to draw.
pls help

>>2556087
Am in my jammies and ready to do both
Just because someone is better at drawing than you now doesn't mean they'll be better a couple years later from now. You might surpass them. You never know. Being good at a young age isn't guarantee that she'll be successful and keep going at the rate she's going when she's older. Most people who show potential at a young age vanish out of sight later. So age doesn't matter, because you don't know what happens tomorrow.
Kids also have more resources today to draw well (and online & for free too). I think it's a good thing that young artists today are able to draw as well if not better than middle aged professionals generations ago.
>Oah many people younger than me.
>Ok..

It doesn't matter kid. You can be a "prodigy" who could draw photo realistic at the age of 14 and and in the end still be outdone by someone who only started practicing beyond doodling at the age of 35.
Life isn't an RPG.

A lot better than when I started last year.
>Do you think you have what it takes?

Hey Kookri, you can still become a professional, don't give up so easily.
One thing id like to ask you to do is do a master study. Not any master study, but a master study that you have to spend AT LEAST 24 hours on. And after that do a study from real life or a piece from imagination with also atleast 24 hours spent. Cuz when i look at your stuff what sticks out to me is that it looks very sloppy and not very thought through.
And i don't care if you think it'll be hard or boring, just do it dude

Threads like these are not helpful. Really you should never compare yourselfs to others, they're are many factors as to why someone is at their position.
We don't know if this person had a good parent who taught them, or no responsibilities and thus-ly could afford to draw all day.
Also even if its just talent who cares, Art isn't this absolute linear line of progression. To an extent in the beginning it is, but after a certain point you have to define for yourself what art you want.
Also MC Esher didn't start til he was like 40. So all these young people were beating the ever living shit out of him and he'll be remembered for all time whilst they will be forgotten.
I started digital at the age of fucking nine, got acepptably good at it, did my first commission at the age of 13 and this slowly consumed me from shitty animu into somewhat bad furry, and at the age of 16 I was like "what have you become" and started buying anatomy books, got lazy, started doing hella studies at the age of 17, little lazyier, at 18 found /ic/, read all the books like mad and try to practise every day..19 now.........practise human face and general anatomy as much as I can

cut that shit out. NOW. seriously. I've been telling myself the same "wahh im 14 i should've, done this, done that" for ten years and what i regret the most is wasting time thinking like that. The time and energy you spend fretting over dumb shit like this, you could've used it to draw or do something more productive.
Set a short term goal, like practicing anatomy daily for a week, and stick to it. and then set another short term goal. then another. then another. and in a year, you'll look back and see that you made progress.
dicked around for several years and now returned here with commitment to daily practice after turning 25. i figure i can put out respectable work at the point where brad started. even if i can't reach the level of top professionals, i just want to enjoy a hobby where I've achieved a high level skill. my greatest fear is to grow old and boring. the ability to draw and paint is probably more than what most people can say about themselves

Andy Okun, on picking up Go for the first time at FOURTY GODDAMN YEARS OLD:
>When I took up go, at the age of 40, I told myself two things. 1. "Andy, get ready to lose a lot. You have to lose. Everyone loses. It's how you learn and is part of the experience." And 2. "Andy, get ready to lose to little tiny children, whose eyeballs just barely come up over the edge of the table and who have to stand on a chair and lean, wriggling, on the table and the board to play at all. They're going to beat you constantly and you need to be nice about it."
It was good advice, cause that happened a whole bunch. But on a few occasions, I've beaten the little kid instead, and on two occasions, the kid cried. I was really nice and polite and all, but inside ... I'm so ashamed, but it was like I'd triumphed over a rival.
This guy is 1-3 dan (depending on ranking system) right now, i.e. a professional player. If a goddamn 40-year-old can get to the professional tier of a game he picked up at 40, your dumb 20-something ass can do it.
>>2562494
I make redundant english, redundantly.
>>2562494
While I agree with your general point, go is not the best comparison. Games like go or chess can be learned in a rather short time span, and child prodigies are relatively common. You don't ever get children that young who are prodigious in art. Art simply takes a long, long time to master.

>>2562809

Okay post examples then. Even the most famous artistic prodigies in history only really started getting good in their mid or late teens. Any artist that has to stand on a chair to reach on top of a table will not have good art. Abstract art doesn't count for this since it isn't based on technical skill, which is what we are talking about with go and chess.

>D/ic/ks often use Mullins as an example of late bloomer, but 23 isn't that old. If there's a dude who made it in his 30's, I would like to know about him.
Ralph McQuarrie.
if someone's better than you it most likely means they've also worked a lot harder than you have.
not for sure but likely
just draw more
age is no indication of skill.
you're constantly going to run into people younger and older than you who are far better than you in different aspects of art
get used to it. either way we all regress once we get old af and replaced by young people

18, i was terrible just like everyone else when they started. I kept drawing because i truly believed i would improve aslong as i kept working hard.
I dont know what you mean with having what it takes, becomming a pro? I hope so.

I started drawing seriously around 20, now 22 and a half. I've been doing pretty great on Pixiv and Tumblr starting just half a year ago.
Don't lose hope anon. It's depressing as shit to get here but all the studies pays off and it was worth it.
Just don't follow bad tutorial from DA and Tumblr, study from life as much as possible. You need to be efficient with the way you train, don't just "keep drawing more" but keep trying something new. If you draw the same shit over and over again then it's gonna be the same shit even after 5 years or whatever.
Followed. Stop being so salty familia, you can still get better than him if you work hard.

dude your style reminds me ralph bakshi and vaughn bode. awesome!
22 years old now.
Drew all the time since I was like 10 or something? Got my first tablet when I was 14. At the same time I got really into anime (which was a mistake when I think about it...). I was always pretty okay at what I did, considering being so young, but desu if I got some proper guidance earlier/did not procrastinate as much I would be much better now...
There was always some progress, both in draftsmanship and appreciation of art in general. Experimented a lot in different mediums and styles, which kinda helped.
Now I'm drawing more than ever and trying git gud.

I'm 19 and i always forget the fact that i still have a chance. I drew since i was 13 or 14 and just like you , i started with animu shit. I still like anime and i would like to create a comic or smth. But god , when u think u could've get good faster if u strated with the basics . I don't draw anime as much as i used to , focusing on portraits and backgrounds . This year i hope i can get in the art uni . The only reason why i go to art uni is for the time and the hours u spent on drawing, luckly i chose a uni which actually focuses on drawing and not some modern art bullshit .
Hope everyone will achive their dreams.

>turned 21 a couple months ago
>think about the 1000+ hours I spent on TF2
>used to be a badge of pride

On the bright side, it turns out furry fetish art pays enough to keep the lights on and food on my table
