Im a complete beginner who, while having loved art and casually doodled all his life, is only recently starting to seriously learn and study fundimentals. I've been drawing constantly over the last 6 months or so and while I saw noticeable improvement in the beginning, I feel as if my progress has ground to a halt. I worry that Im not capable of ever reaching the level I desire. Weither it's because I simply wasn't born capable enough or because I poisoned my teenage brain to heavily with drugs and achohual back in high school. Either way, Ive recently felt as if I don't have what it takes to achieve the technical proficiency I aspire to and I've felt incredibly depressed because of it.
