No, this can't be! The only way you can become a good artist is to be born a Japanese person. If you're not japanese, you must spend your days creating time wasting threads about twitter drama and fellating the glorious Nippon instead of drawing.

The graph is less about quantity = quality, but more about quality consistently accompanied by quantity.
Also, you don't need talent to make it. You need talent to be the best of the ones who make it. Anyone can play the violin professionally, but only a few can be first seat in an orchestra.

That's how it is with learning, period. There's a reason why humanity exploded in progress after the scientific method was developed. Knowledge is also cumulative, instead of reinventing the wheel, we can skip that step and continue where someone else left off. Learning anything like drawing is the same way.

Really weird example because classical music is one of the primary examples of a field where if you don't start when you're 3 years old you are ngmi. Drawing is much more forgiving (in terms of being able to start late) than classical orchestral music.

"The more you draw, the better you get" advice is obvious and true, but there's a caveat to it;you need to actually push yourself when drawing. If you just draw the same old thing over and over, there's going to be little development, if any at all.
You can't expect to draw muscular men well, when all you do is draw waif women.
You'll need to push yourself, try other styles, other topics, other drawing methods.

I think people just don't realize that over time the amount of time you put into art begins to ramp up. 30 minutes used to feel miserable. Now I can easily do 4 hours of study before getting to actually drawing what I want to do (usually incorporating things from my study) which can take anywhere from a couple hours to even longer if I get particularly motivated. I've worked up to this though because I can easily recall a time where I felt miserable just sitting there doing what felt like nothing.

that's the biggest factor. People would blame their "lack of" talent for their skills, when it's more of them not actually drawing. All these tutorials and guides means fuck all if you don't even draw in the first place to utilize it. I'm sure you seen many post from artist online that would gloat or say they don't want to do studies because it's "too hard" or "boring".

Practice isn't a sufficient condition for improvement. Preserving mental health and intelligence is far more important. Thus stay away from dopamine rapists like social media and narcissists (catecholamine autotoxicity).

correlation is not causation
they drew more because they were already artists, their art just got better because they polished their work, not because the artist got better
either you're born an artist, your you aren't
its that easy, you can't just "get talent", that'd be magic, and magic isn't real.

Don't mention that in the references thread, people will inherently accuse you of being gay for trying to expand on references. Those people are so tied up in having it be temu-styled /s/ and only wanting fap material that having any dude at all is like pouring salt directly on their eyes. God forbid anons learn how to draw a cool dude from any pose.

You obviously have to be smart and draw with purpose to improve, possess some critical thinking,not be a retarded nigger, but that doesnt nullify the required mileage, it's both, like with any manual skill in existence

After all these years I began to realize everyone here is either a sheltered or a mentally ill retard, probably both for most
If you have anything above 110 iq and have done any physical activity for an extended amount of time like cooking, yardwork, cleaning w/e you'd know developing a skill requires in-the-moment critical thinking and years of experience, it has to be both
If you've been drawing for 5 years and you're still an /int/ just stop, go stack amazon warehouses, I dont need more braindead emasculated faggots in this hobby
