These are all from imagination.

Pic related is mine

Something dawned on me the other day. I'm a quitter. When things get hard, I run away and do things that are easier for me. It's like this in all areas of my life and it translates to art as well. The times I remembered when I improved the most in art where when I got out of my comfort zone and did things that were challenging for me.

When I first starting learning the box and anatomy, these areas were so difficult that I wanted to give up at first, but I pressed on for some reason and I was able to make tremendous progress. But for the past year, I've completely comfort zoned by only doing unfinished anatomy sketches, which at this point, is very easy for me.

I'm not saying i'm a master at anatomy by any stretch but my brain doesn't hurt whenever I do figure drawing like it used too. The areas that I struggle with the most are perspective, color theory, values, creature anatomy etc, but the reason I don't tackle these areas as much is because whenever I do, my head starts hurting again but it's way out of my comfort zone and then I rationalize myself by saying that, I should learn anatomy instead because it's more important. Unsurprisingly, this quest for perfection in my anatomy sketches has also led to be my biggest downfall because my progress right now is very slow. In fact, my skill level right now is indistinguishable from a year back.

TLDR: Practice things that you find boring and difficult, when you do things you really enjoy, you won't make much progress. And don't rationalize yourself by saying you aren't good enough to do certain things due to a lack of skill.

Fuck you man. This is like my first time sketching perspective anyway. I mostly draw characters and shit.
