Serious Digital Art is overrated NotGonnaLie TobeHonest

Hate when people say: Only practice, it's about drawing a lot, a fucking lot.
What's wrong with them?
Can't they understand if someone sucks so much, it doesn't how long he draw or how much he spends. Everything comes naturally if your genes let you do so.

Drawing is an acquired skill, most people "symbol" draw, that's why people usually draw shitty deviant art 12 yr old art.

this is from /ic/ the art board on 4chan, it pretty goes through everything important for drawing art

Fuck it too iliterate.
Also not everyone's brain abstracts objects the same way.
It comes with how people visualize stuff and interpret it.
But here comes the trick, how do I make a drawing as visually attractive for everyone else?
It's not only how you symbol draw, but you should always point at some canons to make it "correct".

click this, it isnt really that hard, obv if you want to draw good art you gotta practice daily the fun is "improving"

These canons aren't learnt, but mostly people have the "eye" and "right hand movements" to produce elegant lines and the overall gestalt(shadowing,lightning,hue values) correctly.
So no, if you sucked at it, don't try, it's all in your genes.

Do you even draw?
I don't, I gave several,several years ago in my angsty teen years, won't do it ever again.

Very true. If you have a shaky hand you can't draw proper outlines and you'll struggle a lot in art.
Over for shakyhandcels.

Drawing is a good cope if the internet is down tbh

its called talent and a lot of people cant accept that it exists and most just wont make the cut to the top 1%. "muh irrelevant"

practice is fucking fake you can only "train" yourself to your genetic limit which is generally negligible.

But they'll mock whoever tries unless they show signs of a status boost.
Try telling normies you put in serious work practicing a sport and they'll laugh at you because you have no status to show for it like being a professional athlete.

The effortvsgeneticspill destroyed me.

i have like 2000 hours in pubg from a few years ago and i was always completely shit and got brutally outplayed by kids with less than 100 hours. its fucking infuriating when u dedicate so much time and effort into something only to realize you havent gotten any better.

Certain things are more dependent on brain chemistry than how much you try drawing/programming/gaming fall into this category because you need natural intuition/instinct/response times and problem solving skills which are things that usually cant be improved to a noticeable degree.

practicing a skill is useless if you don't have much real results to show for it. It's just repetitive and tedious after a certain point and the definition of a cope ngl

Hand eye coordination is very important for drawing and gaming.
Being able to visualize logical progressions is important for computer programming.

Both are probably heavily influenced by genetics and not everyone has that skill.

tbh I don't know why people say autistic guys usually have an easier time programming. From what I see it requires a lot of perseverance, versatility and predictive capability and ability to construct detailed yet simple logical flowcharts as a template for the code you are going to write.
Those things don't always come easy to all autistic guys tbh

The second drawing doesn't look that horrible, considering it was made by a 16yo.

EVERYTHING YOU STATED WAS A BROOTALPILL, Truer words couldn't be spoken!
It feels like society expects autistic/aspergers people to be naturally talented, and retribute society with scientific discoveries, art works and the like.
Honestly some of those people have that, others don't. The people who can't keep with society's demands are mostly cast into oblivion.

It's not about how good or bad it is.
Thing is I utterly despise people who think they can improve their drawing skills by buying some expensive piece of plastic.
And even if you had the skills forehand, you will have a rough time getting the gist of using these graphic tablets since even the minimal slant you make it will be visible and horribly visible (Remember you are not really drawing, but making some pixels "visible", hence digital art).
Hate how huion and wacom sell their pieces of shit as the ultimate gadget.
Honestly, you can feel jealous of other people flauting their tablets, and it's mostly it sees good as a decoration, an adorn. But nothing more than that!
