if you have to force yourself to do something, anything. then maybe you weren't meant to be doing that thing. imagine trying to work up the courage to play monster hunter. "im going to do it this time guys im going to grind MH". do you have any idea how stupid and flawed this way of thinking even is? take an objective look at what you're saying.
actually, nah, your pride doesn't allow yourself to admit that you got filtered hard by your lack of intrinsic motivation. stop using drawing as a means to an end.';
'>>7135206
hypothetically, you would improve astronomically. actually practicing for 8 hours a day is about as hard as it sounds though';

I don't even post on /pol/, I'm just a disgruntled game artist that turned radical after the culture war ruined everything.';

How does it feel like to know your kind, the /pol/kind, hates artists just for existing?';

>They unironically talk about the culture war
You're clearly unhappy, so I'm gonna give you advice. You're gonna need to go to your local corner store, buy yourself some nice herbal tea. No Caffeine. Then, you're gonna buy some bread, cheese, and grapes or some other fruit if grapes aren't your thing. You're gonna assemble all of that into a nice charcuterie platter and have yourself a nice afternoon after logging off for the day.';

I could do it.
Should i?
I could and i will. I don't know if i should though.';
'>>7135900
I mean why not? Do you have anything better to do for 8 hours?';
'>>7135903
I could goon and watch shows.
It'll bring around more dopamine than trying to do anything that's anything.
The question is, why should i do anything that's anything but base level hedonism?
It's not like most people ever do anything unless they get a shot of dopamine in exchange or have to to afford food.';

>it's not like most people ever do anything unless
Do you want to be like most people? Most people are objectively unsuccessful, there's a reason it's called the top 1% and not the top 51%

Hmm I dunno if this is correct... don't we force ourselves to wake up and go to work/school etc? Also like yh I do find myself having to work up courage to play a game like "I'm going to play monster hunter even though I won't gain much out of it and I could be doing more productive stuff, for once I'll try and have fun and enjoy a peaceful game of monster hunter",
I do sometimes think I'm not ment to be an artist, but then I wonder if I don't force myself to draw I'd just be forcing myself to do other stuff anyway, working at job, raising family, cooking, exercising, reading etc. I think it's more of a case of building willpower. At the end of the day most are addicted to the end goal, the finished piece. When I see the finished piece it reminds why I still do this. inb4 post work, here's some drawings from life. I'm not a nodraw and I'm not the og poster';

>Do you want to be like most people?
Most people dom't want to be most people, but you don't get to choose.
If i could be skilled at art i would. I simply don't have the willpower and the strenght of character to be anything but.
Most people do not change, and genetics are most of your personality. Nothing ever happens, it's over, etc.
I might draw today though. I kinda want to but i don't really know how to draw anything or even copy well so i'll likely become discouraged before i even pick up the pencil.';
'>>7137824
Sorry to hear anon, u sound rly sad. People can and have changed there fate, genetics is not everything.
>no willpower and strength
maybe you don't have it now but I'm sure you can build up to it. As Coolidge would say "press on"';

I will do this next weekend. I will report back.';
'why draw for 8 hours when you can draw for..........16 hours?';

'>forcing myself
Bro you're ngmi that way, don't stress yourself that much, you're gonna burn out in a week or two and then never touch drawing again.';
