You people are fucking idiots. How the fuck are you going to become a better artist if you LITERALLY DON'T FUCKING DRAW?
>>3990547That guy is a fucking moron.
>can't find a reason to keep going if I will never reach greatnessYou won't reach fucking greatness unless you KEEP FUCKING GOING RETARD.
>the thought that I will never become an artist literally keeps me from sleeping at nightThen why did he fucking quit? You literally will never become an artist if you fucking quit.
>the pain of failure is too great to begin againLiterally EVERYONE fails at shit. Even professional artists.
Literally all you need to do is change your mindset which is really fucking easy in my opinion. Instead of comparing yourself to the greats, just go at your own fucking pace. Instead of RREEEing because you imagine the perfect anime girl in your head and can't draw it on the page, start fucking simple and imagine just an individual arm, or a leg, then look up references for that and draw it, then, after drawing it from reference a couple of times, imagine it in your head and draw that, then compare that drawing to what you were referencing from, if it isn't perfect, don't freak out, just fucking establish what you did wrong and do it again keeping in mind what mistakes you made previously.
The key here is to just come to grips with and understand that you won't do it perfectly the first time. Here's another thing to consider:
>quit art two years ago after 6 years of tryingBut what does "trying" mean in this context? Was he working four hours a day doing studies? Or skimming drawing books and doodling for 20 minutes every couple of days? If you aren't drawing every day you aren't going to improve.
This shit is so fucking obvious but you underage /ic/ anime drawing scrubs just don't understand and you never will because Anime has basically rotted your fucking brains.
