I gave up a year or two ago. I did the Last artist standing challenge for two years before realizing I was only doing it as a chore and not getting better. I wasted all that time and realized I'm not capable of disciplining myself to become better. I've now quit art because it's better for my mental health than unproductively chasing a dream that I am incapable of attaining.

the only reason I happened to find this thread is because I happened to come on this board today.

you have to like doing something in order to pour thousands of hours into it and get good

also there will never be point where you feel completely satisfied with your abilities, you have to like practicing because you'll be doing it forever

[Anonymous No.3916679]

>>3916662
That’s true but don’t make the mistake of assuming you have to enjoy it all the time. What matters more is that you “care” about what you’re doing. I started drawing at 22 and when your that old your stuff is going to look bad and you’ll hate it to a degree. Plus when you care about something a lot, like art, it’s going to feel bad to make bad stuff. Now I love art, and I’ve decided it’s something to want to dedicate my life to but it isn’t always enjoyable, especially not for years when you start out. It’s more important to care, care enough that your willing to push through it. But even I have moments where I feel doubt and think maybe I just can’t do it, that’s ok and even understandable. It took me many years to get skills and get to the point of enjoyment.

As for not being satisfied, I know people say that your never satisfied but it isn’t necessarily true, i’ve definitely been happy with what i’ve made, it’s just taken a long time. In the beginning you have to move the goalpost, find other sources of satisfaction that isn’t the final work or how it came out. If you practiced and learned just one thing or improved one thing or found one mistake you’ve made that you can correct or work on in the future then it was a very, very productive day and I definitely feel at peace. I can get a sense of satisfaction this way even if I didn’t make anything good that day.

I guess what I mean overall is enjoyment is something you can grow over time and this idea that artists love it all the time isn’t realistic.

Oh hey I remember you as well. I used to post in the OG las as well and ended up being one of the final people before the site went down, haven’t posted since. I used to look at pretty much everyone’s art almost daily, yours included. I remember you doing some cool looking characters for a challenge or something as well, lots of cool ideas. Also I’d recommend giving drawing another shot. If you don’t enjoy it then it’s fine to move on but if you do still enjoy the act of drawing then I think you should stick with it and just draw for yourself. I actually started improving more after I quit las because I was just drawing for myself without worrying about making something presentable for others or beating myself up over how fast I improving/comparing myself to others. Anyways, good to know that you’re still alive and kicking, take care lad.

not the person you're replying to but I sometimes consider keeping a sketchbook on the side to fill with drawings that I'll never show in public, you don't really have to show your dirtiest or your heart and soul to las/dad, just enough to keep things going by, I think some other users probably are doing the same thing judging by how barebones some of their submissions are when I'm sure they're drawing a lot more than that on the side

Flawless reporting in, good to see you're still around even if you're busy with other stuff
On rejoining, the new site let's you set post frequency anywhere from daily to weekly, and you can focus on streak or on how many times you post this season
There's badges and challenges and stuff now and the discord is nice too, has collabs sometimes

Worth taking a look maybe, if you do remain then maybe do it consciously as a hobbyist, and decide you just want to draw anime vehicles or whatever and just have fun with that one thing

>cheating is bad and you need to earn her forgiveness now.
See I understand I fucked up and that she has the high road now. I know I'm in the wrong.

The issue is though that my infidelity started from a desire to leave her and her inability to let me go.

Of course me being unfaithful has lead to her doubling down on everything that killed the relationship for me in the first place. I understand why but it's only hurting both of us.

I really just don't know man. Being with her makes me miserable and me not even being able to tell her I love her anymore is making her miserable.

Do I just suck it up and except that I won't get what I want out of life? Is enabling someone else to live a happy life worth it? I don't know.

>>3917509
>femdominate all aspects of your life both in and outside of bed.

>dom girlfriend is a whole lot of opportunity, given you're a sub

The thing is though that she's a massive sub that wants to be dominated. She just wants to be in control of everything while she's dominated.

Our fetishes have absolutely 0 overlap. She thinks adding cuffs to the bedroom is kinky while I'm a massive degenerate that hides his power level because every time she comes across something she's horrified and disgusted.

A dom mommy would be okay though.

A young special needs child actually. She's incapable of handling him by herself most days and she's also goes into a depression whenever he's not around. I had to drop my studies and neither of us has worked since he was born. Over 5 years at this point.

Don't tell me you're one of those idiots who believes that "art is entirely subjective" and so there is no way to judge what is good or bad.
