>If you could go back X years what would you do differently when it comes to drawing?

Every time I think about giving up for any reason I remember that when I was starting out with my art journey, doing my Fun With a Pencil exercises, I posted one of my drawings in the /beg/ thread and a cool anon told me "GMI"
I'm sure he would be disappointed if he knew I gave up, I won't fail you anon

That's a really good drawing, anon, please don't waste your potential

Look for the things that made you draw in the first place, like movies, animations, artists, illustrations etc, maybe you'll get some inspiration back

I've been there anon and I'm much older than you, don't give up. I even quit drawing for years. Study hard but also post work for critique, open a thread every now and then if you get ignored in the drawthreads, and ask specific questions on things that don't work for you. You're going to take a lot of shit by crabs but someone will give you actual advice.
If you are too depressed to draw then put the drawing aside and try to see a therapist, get a job and a social life, work on making your life qualitatively better, you will be able to draw better as well.
Art is a quite lonely thing to do, but you can try to connect with artists' communities and share your work. You should have an easier time doing that since you like anime instead of niche things.
And if you're not improving it's because you might be studying from anime, you need to learn construction, at least the basics of realism will help you a lot even when you draw manga.

Think about small improvements, 1% at the time. For some people thinking about far future and "making it" is just too intimidating to deal with.
Think about now, if you are shit, own it, and try to do just a tiny bit better next time.
Im shit as well, gave up on art few years ago now im back to it, and yeah every single thing i draw right now causes mental anguish as i see how shit it is, but im not gonna let myself drop it just because of that.
Just be stronger than this Anon, i don't know how good or bad you are, you don't need to post your work, im not gonna tell you that you are going to make it, i just believe in you, try believing in yourself too.
