Better get started anon, time is finite, age matters, and the world order is collapsing right as we speak
Take it from a 40 year old anon, you don't want to waste your best years spinning your wheels and doing nothing of note

>Wasted my teen years and twenties fantasizing about making a cartoon show, drawing terrible concept art but never animating an actual video
Biggest regret desu. I'm making shit now but it's demoralizing at 32. I really should have started at 18/19. Now the petrodollar is collapsing and my friends and family are going broke one by one.

I’d be overwhelmed and burned out within a week. If a project takes more than two days to finish then it’s not for me. Even picking up where I left off yesterday is rough.

the events in life are predetermined
if you were meant to make it then you will, if you aren't, you won't. no need to tell people to "just draw" and "grind boxes", what will happen has already been decided
don't stress out about it, time will unravel and reveal which side you end up on

when you're tong, you have the motivation and time, but no skill.
When you're older, you have the skill, but lost the motivation and time.
I barely have it in me to do one chore a day, forget drawing.

drawing floating head and boxes are somehow impressive

OP, just go shake the world's hand and ask them give you a project.

and that's it. i guess my big issue is that my art skills are nowhere near where i need them to be (i can barely rotate a cube so how the fuck do i learn blender?) and i haven't touched a language tougher than sql in several years. it feels pretty over for me

every time I think about working on my passion project, I imagine someone asking me what I'm doing and I can't say "drawing pictures of anime girls" like a retard. All I get from this is happiness at the cost of falling even further behind in life. I'd rather just be miserable while working hard as a poorfag because that's at least virtuous. Escaping with drawing and being happy despite being a failure is the cowards way.

I'm 27, but I can be 80 and still will start my first project by that age and feel no guilt because I am so unique as a person that literally nobody else will be able to even execute the ideas in the same way that I can execute it. (I genuinely believe this.)

22 and nearly 90 pages into my big project, and honestly sorta regret it. Just cause my starting art sorta sucks, and I wish my early scenes are a bit off. Theres a reason why people do a bunch of short comics before their big one, cause once you start, you learn alot more.Although look at Kirkman however, he was like 23 when he started Invincible, and AOT guy was like 23 when he started AOT. So many of these famous and successful guys start young. Their stuff didnt get successful for years as well too, so I guess just make anything, even if its not successful

I`ve been trying to create a project since 2015, but I only started to learn to draw in the middle of 2019, still, I`m also 32 and there`s nothing to my name besides practice of box and worthless stuff like that so I get you guys.

i think instead of working on my big dream project, i will work on something smaller, that while not achieving my magnum opus that i vision daily in my head, hopefully is something that i enjoy and can give me cash to feed the ultimate project

My issue is that I get too stuck in drawing fanart because it's my comfort-zone
I need to get off my ass and learn 3D animation
