Do simple warm-ups like gesture and light sketching for as many hours as it takes until your awkwardness around the paper goes away. And if i know artists who complain about not being able to get in the zone, that would be pretty much all of you reading.

Nearly all effort expended in a cold state on complicated shit or planned serious efforts is wasted. (This includes studies.) You won't learn a goddamn thing or be able to make any reliable output until you warm up, and it can take a while sometimes.

And by the way. Everything counts on gesture. Every fucking stupid little thing. So definitely start there.
