Why is it that for some people talent comes naturally, and others are left with nothing?
It's all about patience, m8
>>29617496
post drawing plz
>>29617496
because life isn't fair.
how are you on this board without knowing that.
regardless, if you enjoy art and want to learn, just keep practicing. no one posts their first drawing online.
get photoshop, get some tutorials (ctrl+alt+paint for PS techniques and work flow and Villpu, Loomis, Hampton or Bridgeman for anatomy, gesture and perspective stuff)
>want to make video games
>can't draw for shit
>decide to anyway
>everyone laughs at my video games for looking like dogshit
here's a picture of a dude I drew in ten seconds

Here it is, my man

You realize while you shitpost for hours a day /ic/ spends that time drawing right?
You realize that while you dick around and game or an hour or two a day /ic/ spends it drawing right?
You realize while you fap to tranny porn for 3 hours straight /ic/ is spending that time drawing right?
in order to get good at drawing you ether have to waste 2 years spending like 8 hours a day doing it. or spend the next 6 years drawing for at least one hour a day to get good. Drawing is probably the least scrub hobby there is out there. think playing guitar is tough, drawing is way harder.
>>29617516
The latest one
>>29617496
You clearly enjoyed it. Why not put some time into learning more complex techniques etc?
>>29617627
dumb faggot
some people can literally pull it out of their ass
>>29617496
Talents don't really matter in a long run. You still need to spend hundreds of hours or morre if you want to be atleast someone who isn't laughed at.
>>29617496
/ic/ will be the first to tell you that it was practice, not talent
>>29617672
yeah, no. not with drawing sure they might have a tiny bit more starting talent than you but compared to people who have been drawing for years those people who "literally pull it out of their ass" look just as terrible as you do.
>>29617633
>>29617612
Practice more, man. Also use something better than MS Paint. I'm sure you'll see improvement over time :)
>>29618093
Not true, look at what Picasso could make when he was only 12
>>29617711
This is true but there should be a desire to spend some many hours in order to progress. If you want to be artist but dont enjoy progress to becoming one, you'll never make it.
Needs some Loomis senpai
Talent doesn't come naturally you shitter.
Everyone starts off shit at everything.
There are only certain circumstances where some genetic trait might help you slightly with something but you still have to practice regardless.
If you seriously want to be good at something just keep practicing. It helps if it's a hobby and something that you enjoy doing anyway, because practice, instead of seeming like work, is just something fun that you do because you enjoy doing it. You want to be good at art? Draw and study for an hour or two every day, but try not to make it seem like work else you'll get sick of it and give up like the faggot you are (but you've already given up because you looked at people who've actually practiced a bit and compared it to yourself who has done nothing).
gitgud faggot
>>29618177
So what you're saying is that because there are prodigies out there you're not going to even attempt getting better at all, is that right? Your just gonna throw in the towel and give up just because there was a few people out there who didn't need to practice a bunch.
Your an immature twat. Just because you "cant be the best" you're not even gonna try.
were all gonna make it brada
>>29617496
talent does not come naturally. people in the beginner threads on /ic/ are usually not beginners, but people that are too nervous to call themselves experienced. art is something ANYONE can learn, but it takes a lot of time and effort. people who are young and good at what they do have been drawing shitty sonic and naruto fancharacters for years before they got to where they are, and those who can pick up a pencil and start shitting out Picasso eventually stagnate.
either way, art is not being better than others, it's about self expression. don't post on /ic/. don't post your art on 4chan, edgy faggots will just tear it down
>>29617612
>>29617633
see, this holds promise for a beginner. you have a pretty good natural skill for which colors look good together, and using the brush strokes in the manner you're doing is very reminiscent of acryllic/oil paintings on canvas.
i think you should try messing around with some pigments and paint, anon. even if you're just using handmedown paints to paint on cardboard or particle board, i think you do have an artistic eye and your interest in color and creating depth with it will only grow more as you continue drawing.
draw from life. keep messing with the digital stuff though, it is a useful skill to have as an artist.
>>29617612
You need to watch Bob Ross, anon.
>>29617496
don't worry, nobody ever made money from MS paintings unless they were also a virgin
>>29618470
Thank you, based anon.
Appreciated
Because most people on /ic/ have been drawing their whole life, dedicating their energy to their passion, some have been to school to learn more about their crafts, they have studied art in its historical form, etc.
NO FUCKING SHIT THESE GUYS PROBABLY ARE BETTER THAN SOME FUCKING AUTIST WHO STARTED DRAWING YESTERDAY!
For fuck's sake, I'm used to this kind of shitty meme attitude, but this one, especially as a drawfag myself, was the spark tat lit the fuse.
How the fuck can you just go on /ic/ the motherfucking ART CRITIQUE BOARD where people go to discuss the specific subject of IMPROVING YOUR SKILLS AS PAINTER/DRAWFAG and draw the conclusion that "Oh, I suck because all of them were just born talented!
It's Incredibly insulting to these people and the fucking work they have put to achieve this kind of talent. Natural talent only gets you so far. natural talent without proprer practice, guidance and education is like a precious gem still incased in stone. Unpolished, raw, unimpressive.
So go fuck yourself, OP, with your shitty "natural talent" meme and fucking RESPECT the fact that these autistic fags have been PRACTICING, something you will, most likely, never do, because you expect shit to fall in your pa freely because you're too much of a lazy piece of shit to make efforts for anything.
Because " hurrr why bother?" am I FUCKING RIGHT?
