Never give up

Every second I'm not drawing I feel like I should be drawing
Is this normal?

IF YOU ARE A /BEG/INNER IN ART, please use this thread to post pieces for critique or ask for advice. We should not have to make new threads or post in the Drawthread with our fundamental exercises.

Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, or you literally are never going to make it

RESIZE YOUR IMAGES TO ~1000 PIXELS:
1)
>screenshot the image and post that instead
2)
>change camera capture settings to something smaller
3)
>send to computer and resize in MSPaint

READ THE STICKY if you need guidance when you haven't even started

TRY TO GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - many studies are left unreplied, which is a bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.

REMEMBER, if you've just started out you work will not be good, it doesn't need to be, just get in to the swing of actually drawing, and learning how to study. Most of all, enjoy it.

"Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do."

No, it is not worth making one you will delve into a level of delusion to the point you will hinder any form of improvement or pursuit of knowledge.

Draw every day. It helps if you take a class at your community college.

If your instructor isn't putting up still life scenes within the add/drop period, then drop the class and find another one.

Combined with the resources here, a good community college/rec center drawing teacher and I would say, realistically, 8 hours of drawing related learning (at least half of which are actually drawing, inking, painting, etc) per DAY you will be surprised at how quickly you progress.

The most important part of this is putting in the drawing mileage, second most important is a good teacher and 3rd is a class to provide structure.

Prologue: DRAW FROM LIFE. Don't stop drawing from imagination though unless it gets in the way of life drawing. But life drawing is more important for a beginner artist. Write down/sketch your ideas and then apply the fundamentals you learned from life drawing to those imagined drawings.

Pic related - it's my work.
