I can relate to this. My not art-related job takes up too much time and energy nowadays, but even before that I felt just like you.

I fear that I only liked the idea of becoming an artist, and that I no longer want to be one. But I don't want that to be the case, you know what I'm saying?

Also, whenever I think about sitting down to draw, it's like I'm about to take a test or something. I literally get nervous. I guess the problem is that I want every piece to be good, and I want to excel at art, but no matter how hard I try to convince myself that sucking at it is only temporary, I always lose the drive and motivation to draw, and go on a hiatus..

Take a break OP. If you really like drawing you'll get back to it eventually. If not then its over for you. You're NGMI.

When I feel like this I go to androidarts.com and scroll and click until I remembered why I wanted to draw in the first place. Then I ditch the studies and draw all the crazy shit I liked when I was 17.
What’s your version of androidarts?

What am i looking at

>>3437014
Believe me it's worse to want to make it. And knowing that i'm ngmi.
I start drawing do 10 min exercise and then i just doodle because i feel like not improving. and i don't improve because i don't really work on my art.

Good evening mmmy dudes

>nervous before drawing
Same here and it makes me feel like an idiot. It should and used to be really relaxing for me now it seems too much like a chore. I think the only way around it is to be consistent with a certain amount of hours per day for a month++. I'm working on this now and hope it brings me out of the rut as I seem to only stick to it for a few days before not drawing for at least the next week

It hurts to admit, but it's clear to me now that I most likely won't have a job in the art industry.
It was my goal two years ago, even though I didn't have a certain goal (e.g. becoming an illustrator, etc)

Which sucks because now I'm left with nothing. I have no interest in anything else, really. But that might be a personality issue.

Or maybe it's just that since I naturally lack discipline, I won't ever make it alone, so I should find a tutor/teacher that kicks me in the butt every now and then to do the work.

take a break. a real break, like for a month, maybe even a vacation or something if you can. spend a lot of time in nature, relax, etc.

>like for a month
than you will unlearn anything

i want to work in the animation industry but i want to go to a university. I'm to scared to send a portfolio with my work.
i suck at drawing and i always will. So this dream died for me a long time and it hurts

>>3438554
No dude don't do that. Don't let fear stop you. Do you want to live with regret for the rest of your life for not even trying to send a portfolio? That'd suck.

Even if you are objectively bad ( as in simply a beginner), you can still try. What's the worst thing that can happen? You won't get accepted.

But you can always try the next semester or next year. Check out Aaron Blaise if you are not familiar with him. He has a youtube channel and if I remember correctly, he even talked about art portfolios in one of his many videos.

He's an animator who worked for disney and his stuff is really awesome.

Just go to a community college on financial aid then go to a university. Most university have to accept you if you have a degree from a community college though they usually all have a screening process or something and they don't have to let you graduate if you still suck by the time you are done.
