>>2253531>Online friendships are shallow and fickle more often than not.You are right, years ago I got a online friend who have a degree related to art but he doesn't know how to draw.
When I discovered /ic/ and started to do photo studies, sometimes I showed one of this drawings,He gave me some critiques and later started to say that are not worth because it was a trace, even he did say the same thing when I uploaded in a social network.
Sometimes when we chat about art, he always says that the only way to draw "good" is being talented, I tried to convince him that drawing is a skill and can be learned, but there is no change, even I point him that he can make it because he know about color theory, composition, and he should learn perspective, but his answer was that shit it's not useful and it's a waste of time.
One day he show me one of his drawings, and I thought it will be a good idea to spot his flaws, he got mad and started to say the typical "muh style", it's illustration.
I got bored of him and never talked him again.
