Re: What dreams have you given up on?

I thought it'd be a little different since you had previously put in the effort to learn. Also what happens to you when you use very basic shapes and add details. If you can do still life, wouldn't very simple cartoony stuff be possible?

I did so maybe I could be slightly better, but...

Think of it like trying to copy this Arabic text without being able to see it - http://www.octaviasupport.org.uk/assets/0000/0719/Arabic-55.jpg

Assuming you know nothing of the Arabic alphabet or language. How long would you need to study it before you could draw it out accurately from memory? Do you think someone would be able to read what you wrote? Now compare it to someone who can look at it, read the actual words and know the alphabet and just needs to quickly memorize the text and reproduce it. Heck, they can probably even add their own handwriting 'style' to the text.

Now alternatively, if you could stare at the text while you're copying it, you can break it down and glance back and forth at each letter as you copy it and probably get a decent copy. That's still life for me. But I'm still not going to be able to read the text and understand it.

(I mean also assuming you're not one of those people who can glance for three seconds at something and reproduce it down to the smallest detail like this guy. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1223790/Autistic-artist-draws-18ft-picture-New-York-skyline-memory.html
since I think that kind of ability's pretty rare.)

So through intense repetition and practice I can kind of draw a basic human-shape with kind of anime-esque influence. I use it when I'm designing cosplay outfits. If you really want to see my art, https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/16387063_1612399628775474_127170124339273468_n.jpg?oh=fdcdbfe07c4b05f5d69da7ab9534a2dd&oe=5A611A97 is my in-between. I pulled up pictures of all the clothing elements I wanted and then made an effort to draw them on a human form. That's about a decade of art practice there, and that's as good as I get.
