Sta.sh
I drew a lot when I was a kid, then I stopped, but now that I'm picking it up again, even though my pictures still suck, I DO notice significant improvements with every picture I draw.
It was the same with writing, too. Obviously everyone is going to be bad at something when they first start, but after writing for over ten years, I've gotten good at it and it's gotten easy for me and I enjoy it very much. "Practice makes improvement" is not bogus, but you have to be patient and stick with it and not give up. If you expect to be brilliant after only drawing or writing a few pieces, you're only going to discourage yourself.
(And by the way, you don't have to practice drawing the exact same picture. o.O Try different things. Drawing is drawing, it doesn't have to be the same thing every single time.)
I said, "If you expect to be brilliant after only drawing or writing a few pieces," I did not say that you can't improve. Drawing three pictures isn't going you make you a fantastic artist overnight, but by the time you draw the third picture, you will be a better artist than you were when you drew the first picture. Therefore, the more pictures you draw, the better artist you will become, until eventually you DO become a fantastic artist. But you have to take the time to actually draw all those pictures, you can't skip steps and expect to be successful.
My first stories sucked. I can write well now because I've been practicing for a long time. It's quite difficult to write consistently for that long and not get good at it.
I CANNOT draw well yet. That is why I'm practicing. Even though my drawings still suck, they are getting better, because I am practicing and I'm not giving up, see? Don't limit yourself by being resentful. Saying "Screw art" and giving up is not going to make you a better artist. So if you don't care about being a good artist, fine; go find something else worthwhile to dedicate yourself to and make the world a better place. But if you still do want to be a good artist, then quit whining and start doing what it takes to achieve your goal.
