It's not that bad. Just never let them see your face or know your real name and you can abort anytime.

Man just calm down okay? Seems to me that you are stressing over this way more than it is needed.

Draw as much as you feel like drawing without overstressing it, every day. If you keep overstressng it that just teaches your brain to automatically associate drawing with stress. You cannot form a beneficial habit that way, it would be just undermining your own progress.

The only thing you need make sure is that you start, starting it is the biggest challenge when one is building the habit. Once you start you are okay. It is also not a shame to take regular breaks, in fact regular short breaks are very advised. This means standing up from your drawing table and walking away, possibly leaving the room. This is because it allows your brain to get a bit of refresher and purge the image you have been starting at non stop. When you come back you will likely have a slightly more objective assessment of your drawing. This is the point when you will suddenly notice mistakes and feel like it is all shit but do not worry. that is the clearest sign that you are learning so do not fret.

As for how long there is not formula here for simplicity just 1 hour a day is fine, once oyu start forming a habit you will spend longer times at it automatically.

Calm down Anon, I think the best approach would be for you to go slower and plan more. On the face you drew there it is obvious that the things are misplaced, eyes and ears not on the same line head not in the center of the body one shoulder looking different from the other.

Train your observational skills to notice these, on your own drawings. Check and measure the angle and distances of different body parts based on the reference and common sense. Train yourself to resist going into the fine details until you are sure these things are checked and then double checked. We often fall into the trap of wanting to work on those exciting and beautiful details of the face. Our attention narrows and we forget the big picture until we realize that we have trailed off course and a lot of work was done that ultimately went nowhere or even backwards.

I know that feel bro. You know it is time to leave when you have faggots go as far as recognizing the way you post and everyone giving you a name you never fucking asked for and it even follows you on other boards.

As long as you don't keep drawing the same halfassed incomplete sketch doodles you'll be alright.

Keep doing it Anon! You will get over it if you keep working at it believe in yourself, just stop focusing on the tiny details like making perfect lines. Study and practice your fundies and you will see how much more there is to things than lines.

Find something you can get into Anon and you can connect that drawing. Then go step by step.

Random idea: Do you like fish? Look a picture of fish and draw different one every day fro ma reference.

If you get tired of it draw a different part of the fish like maybe a a magnified version of a fish scale, or an eye or a fish skeleton.

If you are bored with that draw something more loosely related to fish like food made out of fish or fish from characters from cartoons. or your animu waifus wearing fish costumes or being mermaids. etc.

At the end of the day it is just about connecting two topics together with one being something you are really into which can be anything really. And you do not have to marry that subject you can change the subject from "fish to crabs" (I am sorry I had to) for example.

The main goal is to find something that gets your attention and you are able to focus on, granted this is not easy but you can do it, even if you pick a different topic every day. Just make it "that day" make a day penguin day, next shark day, next I dunno flying saucer day and on and on.

>is it narcissistic to like and be proud of your own artwork
no, you have all the right to be proud on anything. You have worked on it and if you like it the you should feel good about it.

>and think its better than a lot of other artists’ work
Now this is a bit more complicated because now you are comparing your own with the work of others and passing a judgement over something that cannot be measured by objective numbers.

Narcissism means that you consider yourself to be the absolute best for no specific reason, just simply because that is what you consider to be the truth of the universe AND at the same time you have the emotional need to convince others about this fact.

So do not worry Anon it is fine.

There is really no need to give it up Anon. Since you are making this post I assume you really enjoy this and to do this and are looking for some sort of reassurance about it. Otherwise you would just be doing something else like playing video games or watching Youtube or fapping or what have you. This tells me that you really should not give it up, if you have to brute force yourself then do so but PLEASE think of your health first. Predicting the long term future of a single person is pretty much impossible, any of us could randomly die in a sudden car accident the next day, nobody is able to tell you if you "have what it takes" or not nor if knowing that even matters. I suggest you take solace in this uncertainty without passing judgement and if you really like it then go for as long as you can.

Just relax Anon okay? Let your shoulders down and take a deep breath. I know you are tired and worried and you are feeling like "What's the use of it all?". If you enjoy it then keep doing it just for the sake of doing it maybe because it brings you peace of mind and it is actually a more productive use of your mind than other activities like watching TV.
