Discussion Is natural talent a requirement for making art that actually makes an impression on people?

[ISTANBUL]

The world is full of mediocre unremarkable artists, musicians, sculptors, etc.
How can you even hope to make something that's worth more than a couple seconds of people's attention if you aren't a gifted individual?
It's even worse now that AI can generate pieces that absolutely mog unremarkable artists effortlessly.

Chris Chan is a good example of someone who was a lil gemmy, put down a deep dark rabbit hole and a life of enablement and a lack of improvement.
Also a lack of creativity, well, kind of but not really, he's definitely creative, but he puts all his eggs in the wrong basket. Blud could be learning an actual skill or something but he just can't improve his really bad art for some reason. Liquid Chris was better imo.

but he just can't improve his really bad art for some reason.

Because he didn't know any of the fundamentals. Just doing something doesn't make you better at it if you don't know the basics. This nigger was just drawing his shitty comics the same way for a decade and he wasn't trying to improve either

i personally know a guy who started drawing in his 30s and he's pretty damn good.

I have to start early since if I actually succeed in my plan I would be busy in a nuclear power plant.

are you homer simpson o algo

Yes except the crayon in my brain is halfway there instead of completely in there.

bottom line is, talent merely gives you a head start in some things. I too am a nudrawcaca, but i spend a lot of time practicing drawing from memory, and i'm making visible progress.

Your new? From what I’ve seen I predicted you had a couple of years under your belt.

i actually tried picking up drawing 2-3 years ago, and it was fucking miserable. Then, in my neet stage, i decided to learn playing chess blindfolded (just for lulz). It took some time, but it really improved my visualization skills. I then decided to start drawing again, and now i'm actually enjoying the process. I believe this is what helped me.

We already have a /calm/ theme on here, if that's anything. Albeit, it's not in my power to make new boards. I'm not sure why you tagged me alongside the head honcho of the site.

All the great Masters had their doubts about themselves. They pushed through it and now we remember them. So why should you give in to doubt?

A lot of those great masters ended up insane or killed themselves

Those old masters could afford to spend 20 hours a day drawing in solace though
