>the only thing you're getting better at with your studies that you don't apply is copying photos, and you're not even that good at doing that. get your shit together.
>-a concerned parent

Thanks, but there's no pleasing anyone so I'm going to do whatever the hell I feel like.

>You never do the face
Did faces, no comments, skip face week later and it's all CHUB WHERES THE FACE
>You don't do enough people
Do people and then get accused of doing it for bait thumbnails
>You never finish anything
Finish things, get asked to post ref, why bother trying to paint things better than they are irl if people just ask for the ref afterwards.

>ur not learning anything
I'm learning how to fucking paint, which is what I want to do. People always assume that I want to draw perfect figures from imagination and shit, and that might be the main /ic/ thing but I just have no interest in it. I don't want to be a concept artist, might not even want to be an illustrator anymore, just want to make stuff even more beautiful than it is in front of me. If my painting new things each day and trying new processes all the time is somehow worse than the tons of people who don't know what to draw so they just do gestures every day then so be it.
