      My SO is a top tier artist. It like watching some mathematical sequence put on paper slowly become reality. With human brain creating new better image with each stroke.

      But I cant draw a straight line with ruler. Even with blender work we do, I get tips but it doesnt sink in. All I undertsand is the technical applications but The fundamentals of art just Never was fun for me. All I see are flaws in my work and I hate my brain doesnt see how to fix it. If my SO wasn’t around I probably wouldn’t even do blender.

        All artists see all the flaws of their work. That’d a normal experience to have.

        And you did used to have fun drawing as a kid, it’s just now you’re worried about making something look good, rather than just the fun of creating something. Try doodling once in a while while you’re on the phone just to make something because you can.

          I remember the exact moment I gave up on art as small child. I made something and it got lost. Spent hrs on something and poof gone. I tried but couldn’t recreate it. whatever spark I had was gone. Plus simple things like coloring in the lines was hard. It still is lol. Meanwhile things like science can always be recreated. its never lost just waiting to rediscovered.

          I can appreciate art but I’ve given up on creating it without any form of assistance. Can’t even remember the last time I did a doodle. My SO makes doodles everywhere we go lol.

        Lame and sad. You used to know it was fun and did it, and now you would rather wreck the environment for a boring image that no one likes

          Human time costs resources, and human aren’t that energy efficient. Would it take more energy & resources for a person to inefficiently grind away at a task they dislike than for a machine that can perform it fairly quickly?

          There’s also opportunity cost, eg, shit we’d rather do. Time spent on an unwanted task is time we don’t get to spend on something better.

          Drawing’s been figured out by better artists, and there are better problems to solve that those artists absolutely suck at.
