I have so many ideas that I would REALLY want to draw, but it's not a motivation problem, I always end up being some sort of "paralyzed" when I try to do it. I assume I'm afraid of fucking them up when translating them into a picture and also that I might try to bite more than I can chew.

I know my Cintiq has a plastic sheet onto the screen so scratches aren't on the tablet itself but it keeps giving me a feeling akind of Existential Dread everytime I see a new scratch or even those transparent wear and tear things on the screen.

I can't do face for shit. Hands? With refs and some times, I can get them right. Feet? not used to drawing them but I manage. Body? I drew so much anthro stuff it isn't even a fucking question to me anymore and proportions are nearly instinctive to do. But faces? Fuck no, I can use refs, work on it for hours, it still looks like garbage and it's uncanny af. Also making emotions that aren't goofy (not too much but still) is a pain because I always end up feeling like it looks inexpressive.

I can't draw neutral standing poses. I can do relatively neutral poses for sitting, lying down, but if it's standing I can't do it without some movement in it.

And there's also the mandatory "ashame of art you did a while back because that's not the style you have anymore/you grew out of the edgy phase from back then...".
