>>55731807Pick up a pencil, a paper and, preferably, an eraser. It’s a lot easier than you think!
Even putting down a single line is infinitely better than nothing.
You certainly won’t think what you end up making is “good”, you won’t even think it’s “good enough”, but that’s not the point!
Art, at it’s core, isn’t just about being good.
I used to be like you in some ways. I thought I simply couldn’t draw, and that those who could were fundamentally different in some way.
And yet, I envied artists. I envied even the worst scribbles. And I secretly wished I could draw even that badly.
But I decided to give it an honest attempt, if for no other reason than to see if I was truly unable to learn.
And, as it turned out, I could learn! I could get better! And if I can, so can you!
Just to prove it, pic related is some of the stuff I’ve drawn.
I’m definitely not “good” yet, and I’m not sure that I ever will be. But, the more I learn, the more I realize that that’s not the point!
It would be a lie to say that I don’t envy good artists anymore. But the more I learn, the more I admire them instead, the more I realize the time and effort it took for them to get to where they are now.
Of course, you probably wont believe any of this. You will still think you are somehow incapable of doing art.
But, please! Just give it an honest attempt! Maybe even post it here!
I would love to see it, no matter how bad you think it is!
I am firmly of the belief that anything that has genuine effort put into it cannot be “bad”.
Even if I’m wrong! Even if you turn out to be the one person in the world that can’t learn no matter what! You at least won’t have a good reason to be bitter anymore. And just being bitter all day isn’t exactly healthy, even if you secretly want to hold onto that bitterness like it’s a fundamental part of who you are. I struggle with feelings like that myself!
Come join us! Be cringe! Its fun!
