    Yes, but both the ability to stick with something and the speed of learning are highly variant per person. Even though I somewhat agree with the point, the image still feels pretentious as hell to me because it just assumes everyone will have the same experience learning to draw as the artist of that image did.

      Also self inserting as superman is kinda wild.

      It assigns such a high authority to the speaker that it immediately comes off as pretentious/corny.

        I interpreted that part as ironic, i.e. “just learn to draw you can do it too” isn’t exactly some insane revelation, so making it advice from superman is probably meant to ridicule the idea that being able to draw is some godgiven ability (like supermans).
