Is pic related actually good or just a meme? I want to go back and work on my fundies (still life, basic rendering, etc.)

Any suggestions on what to do for textbook #2 after finishing this Eviston book?

so. this is it. 4 years, many resources, scoured through the usual suspects of beg books, attempted exercises over and over and over, watched hundreds of youtube 'tutorials', quit a few dozen times, came back even more times, even did drawabox until it got too hard.
and what have i learned so far? how to draw a box. a good box? no, don't be ridiculous, but a box nonetheless.
so i'm calling it. this will be my final stand. tonight, i'm going to start the video course version of picrel. if, perchance, weeks, months or years into the future when i finish this course, if i STILL can't draw anything that even remotely resembles what i want to draw (furry bitches), i am going to use myself as a case study into how not anyone can draw. i'm starting to believe talent is real and i don't have it.
if i fail the last thing i've found that i can potentially use, i don't want to hear a god damn thing from this board about 'ANYONE CAN DRAW, JUST DRAW HOWIE'.
but i pray that won't be the case.
here's hoping, anons. cheers
