I've been getting back into drawing on my tablet which I'm incapable of doing so considering my hands are so shaky.

How the hell do people enjoy just making art and drawing constantly, especially when they're not making money off of it?

What if your genes gave you artistic instincts? Too bad I guess, these are mechanical and materialistic times and there is a wall between people and nature that is covered with ads.

It's a hobby like anything else. If you don't enjoy it anymore then try something else. I like to draw because it destresses me. I don't make a penny off of it. And if you can draw really well people will think it's an interesting thing about you.

Nah, I've written over a million words of Naruto Fanfiction with no expectation of profit or notoriety just because I enjoy doing it.

Wow. As an artist that was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen someone say here.

If you're young that makes sense, but if you're old it's a waste of time unless it's objectively improving your life.
