reminder that you will never be good at an artform you didn't start when you were underaged
yeah sure try as you want to draw or paint, but you'll never be as good as someone who was drawing basic things at 8 and furry porn at 16.
im trying to learn how to draw, just basic things from cups to pepper shakers, and yet i can't figure it out. i'm told to learn how to draw with "perspective" and then am hit with a lorry load fo terms and language used to describe concepts that are never elaborated on and are presumably expected to just be inherently "understood".
i'm basically fucked in this regard, and will live hte next 60 years of my life in misery that i cannot draw. no, "just git gud" won't work you fucking american; some people are born naturally good and are then given the environment to cultivate their skills. I was not. This is called "being shit out of luck", and is hard for narcissistic people to understand, because to them it's either always them 100% them or everyone else's fault.

>>5333>like upside down how?You take a reference and turn it upside down and draw it that way. Supposedly it helps you draw what's actually there instead of what your brain imagines it to be.
