Thread 7724173

And how has it panned out for you? Just got back into it recently, but personally I just like drawing fat women. Fun as fuck so far. So, be it money, creative satisfaction, or a way to express that which could only come from you, what's your deal? Feel free to pyw as well

Initially started so I can draw scanty women
Now I want proficiency so I can do fetish art for money

I love hot 2d girls so much I wished to make some of my own and by myself.

>>7724173 (OP)
For me, I've always been into art.
I've always drawn.
Right now, I'm just trying to find a reason. I have a job now.
When I was unemployed, I used to draw shitty fat furry porn day and night. Now I got something to do, that now makes me decent money.
It sucks, y'know? I've plateau'd for a while and I'm just trying to find ways over it.
Also based OP, love me a fat bitch. That plumpness can even keep my cold heart ablaze.

i've been drawing since I can remember myself. It helped that my family has been buying me paper to draw on. I'm not as good as I could be if I put more dedicated effort but passive observation got me pretty okay I think.

my dad drew a lot for me as a kid but he never made it professional he just doodled for fun, so i got my love for it from him :) i love drawing and i want to be able to work it someday

I've always been introverted (actually introverted, not the fake "introverted" normies pretend to be)
I've always been poor
I've always been lonely (also no family)
And I've always liked art

It's agreat combination for being creative, but also great for depression

To spite my ex.

She doesn't look like anything you draw, but I wish she did, so I could stop drawing and she would be a fat pig

>>7724173 (OP)
In a word?

Revenge.

>>7724173 (OP)
I just liked doing it as a kid, the idea of turning these cool images in my head into something visible by all was so cool, and as I got better at it I got more praise, which was a positive reinforcement, so it motivated me. We need hobbies, so it was only natural that this would be one of mine, I'm glad that even as the years went by I'm still doing it and enjoying it.

Doodling cute anime girls was more interesting than paying attention in class. By the time I finished school I'd been drawing long enough that it was just a habit I did automatically. I wish I was like the anons who started because they had something they really wanted to draw, it's hard to find motivation to improve when I don't have much of an end goal. I like the process enough to do it mindlessly but I just can't accept the mediocrity of my results.

My college program (Interiors Design) have some classes that I need draw stuff here and there.

Was tired of being the idea guy and wanted to make a project on my own without needing to lean on anyone else.

How does her being fat have anything to do with you drawing?
>>7725317
So a natural fit then.

Shit that's twice for revenge, you don't exactly enact revenge by making anime tiddies ya know

Couldn't stand the low quality fan arts of my wife and favourite characters, so i took it upon myself. It helps that I drew a lot pokemon and dragonball as a child

When I was 7 something happened to me that seriously damaged my ability to understand language. So I just drew a bunch of pictures instead to express myself.

Why paint water when you can drink it?

Into it since very young. Enjoyed doing a lot of fanart and other random ideas next to angsty diary entries in old sketchbooks that I eventually destroyed.
Went on a break for a few years after high school. Since medical issues awakened me to my mortality, here I am drawing retarded shit again. Now that I'm done with my trainwreck of a course I can get back to it.

-Ideas in my brain I'm frustrated I can't express out there for others to see
-Getting upset at other creators fucking up good ideas
-Seeing a ton of fanart of certain characters but not a single one features what in my mind is a great idea
Basically a lot of "fuck it I'll do it myself"

I wanted to draw a character for my green. It has taken me 10y so far. I got to high beg in regards to my drawing abilities but I learned a lot about art and this world.

toriyama died and i wanted to make a comic like when i did as little kid after reading mangos foremostly dragon ball. it shook me more than i would admit publicly.

I always thought drawing looked fun, and I wanted to do fanart, but the initial hump of having your shit look like a steaming pile of dogshit filtered me hard every time I tried. Took a big change in attitude and also accumulating enough experience to reach a baselevel that I was fine looking at my stuff to actually stick with it for more than a week. Have since also fallen in love with figure drawing, so I'm also drawing because of that now.

The delussion that i am really fucking good at it, i feel is the only thing in which i can confidently say i might become a master.

I've been called (like most of the people here) some kind of boy genius, or just a smart kid. But with art i started to actually believe it. And then i feel like the most useless shit in the world, but then i believe it for a moment again. And the cicle continues until one day i kill myself, give up or become actually succesful.

Quit League of Legends and needed something new to waste time on

My family got me started in art. Looking back, I wasn't doing anything special, but mom and dad encouraged me so much I had no choice but believe them.
I also distinctly remember seeing this drawing of Mickey Mouse my dad made as a gift to my mom, back when they were dating. That also helped cement my interest in drawing.
2 decades later and I became a professional illustrator. Not posting my work here, but I'm at the point where my day job is actually hurting my illustration career, instead of supporting it.
Came to this board after many years just in case there was some relevant thread about changing careers or something. Got a cold feet with the whole AI thing, but I'm considering it again...

I've always been interested in art, but funnily enough I never really got into making it, even as a kid. I only did the scribbles kids are great at. Later on, when I was around 16-17, I wanted to get into art again, even got enrolled in weekly classes, but my parents never really supported me (they wanted me to keep studying instead). I still have have artwork from this era. So, 10 years later, I decided to pursue art as a hobby, because this combination of work and attempting to study for exams was killing me.

Too poor to go to college, and seemed like something easy I could learn myself to make some extra money. Really wasn't even all that into it until I started to get good, I was more of a STEMcel before.
