Hello! This is my first post here. I was recommended this site when I was asking around and I've browsed around before but didn't join back then. As a preliminary I typed "Beginner" in the search box and went through 100 pages of results from around 2014. It seems like most of the relevant threads ended up between General…
You've written a lot of text. Unless you're planning to become a writer (in which case, hay, more power to you), we need photographic or scanned evidence of some sort that you've attempted to create some art.

Everything else you're just misunderstanding and projecting. Also when you reach the stage of "It's your mindset/attitude" it's just…
That's like saying the best way to learn Chinese is to blurt out words that sound Asian on an Asian forum and hope people correct you. With cooking there's recipes and ingredients, with languages there's alphabets and words, with art there's materials and...*magic*. My art is along the lines of throwing grass on the…
