I disagree where Peter Han says beginners are selfish, what else can a beginner do but learn on their own? Nobody wants to help them. How is a group of beginners going to help each other when no one has any idea what they are doing? Pros also go on and on about finding a mentor but never have any suggestions for doing so.
I definitely have noticed that pro only helping other pro mentality on twitch, they have their own little clique and actively avoid everyone and their streams unless they are at a certain skill level, they will never waste their time with beginner or even intermediate artists.

I have 2 question. When i see a draw i always ask to the painter -how much time it took to draw this? - because i everytime i think a pro make a good paint in no time but i found out i was terribly wrong. So i want to know how much time they used to draw one of their masterpiece. The other question is how much they think have talent is important compared to learning and put effort in learning. I mean people say that drawing is a learning skill, everyone can learn it, but to be a pro how much is learning and how much is talent?

This is like an art parallel to the renaissance. Renaissance artists mostly did religious artwork because that's what brought food to their tables, not necessarily because they were quite religious themselves, today art serves companies and brands, some of the best artists work for companies like disney, but at least these companies are quite intetested in what people at large might be into, unlike religion in the renaissance. If things change like this, I just wonder what art will be in favor of in the future.

I'm trying to learn how to sketch. I just want to carry a mechanical pencil a sketchbook with me without having to take a bunch of supplies. Is this ok to do to learn? I have a toolbox of supplies and a portfolio that I use when taking classes but going out and about don't want to carry all of that with me.

What really opened my eyes was Sean Andrew Murray saying that you never really get comfortable, that artists don't really know what they are doing at all times. That you've gotta experiment and keep growing and get comfortable with that feeling of not knowing what or how to do next.

My favorite thing about this, besides the awesome insights from the pros, is the humanization of the many people I follow through various social media-s. Karl for instance seems like someone I would enjoy having a beer with, and not be idolizing.

The hardest thing about being an amateur, u ask?
Uhh, respecting the process, and understanding that the desire to be better is a calculated action.
