I never "learned" to draw in my life, never had the interest or the time, but recently I found convenient to draw two characters and decided to give it a try, and to my surprise... did something decent come out?

Does talent really exist?
(I know that compared to someone professional it must look like shit, but I've never really tried to draw in my life, just stickman)

How can I draw for long periods of time without suffering from wrist/hand pain?

What is /ALT/?
If you're looking for a place to post your cartooning then you've found the right general. This is /ic/s 1st and only merged hub where both Eastern and Western stylization can coexist peacefully, hence the double title. However, by community demand and long history, this is favorably an Anime general.
>Rules & Guidelines
(1) Any form of cartooning is welcome; so submit and receive feedback from others. (2) Please resize your images before posting.

Is it a waste if no one sees your art, regardless if it's good or not? Do you believe it is an obligation for it to be seen by other people? As in showing your art is like contributing and paying the community back for inspiring you with their work. I've heard people say this before. What does /ic/ think?
