No, I don't hate anyone. I'm just pointing out the facts. Most artists spend thousands of hours and are skilled enough to do it professionally, yet still fail.

It's the nature of art(being subjective) combined with the fact the market has too little demand and too much supply of artists.

But imo if you have an inclination and you put in the hours you could almost certainly do it(at least at industry jobs). It's just that people give up long before they reach that level because learning art mindfucks you big time. To get better your perception should be ahead of your drawing and at the point where your drawing skills have reached or surpassed your perception then your perception gets ahead again. If you are getting better at art it's an endless circle of thinking everything you paint is shit which requires strong will. Obviously there's a lot of luck involved

Yet most artists have the inclination and put in the hours and don't succeed.

More than nearly any other profession I'd say, along with being an author.
