I've been thinking about ways to cheat the process, OP. Here's what I come up with...but it will require you drawing from scratch in specific areas for reasons.

1. Learn to draw the head well from orthographic views only, including facial anatomy and structural differences.
Q: Why only orthographic views?
A: So you don't waste your time trying to master 900 different views of the head. This also applies to the body. Once you understand the basic views you can just use the 3D model as the crutch.
2. Use 3D model for the head and body. You can model your own heads to use if drawing portraits for any view and or just use fullbody. Use your knowledge to draw over.
3. Draw hands every single day. Raw hands from scratch with construction. This is something you can't just trace from a model. Head and hands. Everyday.
4. You need to know drapery. Tracing clothing will not help you. Master drapery and you're good to know for the rest of the cheating.
5. Learn Sketchup/Blender for modeling backgrounds and props.
6. Painting is something you still need to learn from scratch so you can't cheat out of this. Learn it.

There. I just saved you and anyone else who wants to cheat 10 plus years of frustration. You need to be really quick with placing 3D model in space and planning so I'd still do gestures every day for roughs.

tracing its a good way of practicing, but not of producing actual work. unless we are speaking tracing your own sketches to clean them or doing animation

photobashing
tracing photos of your own body
copying the styles of other artists

These are the easiest way to cheat
but don't bother, the less actual skill you have the harder it is to convincingly cheat

Grinding works, you’re just lazy. The crutch you need is modafinil.

>Best crutches
Getting rid of everything distracting in your life that is subconsciously causing you to worry.
That friend you haven't heard from in over two years yet you're constantly thinking how "I should call them"? Call them (or say fuck it and delete their phone number (they're a shitty friend anyway).
Those dozens of unfinished projects you've got sitting around? Take the time to complete them (or burn them to the ground, they weren't going anywhere anyway).
Not sure what to eat tonight? Do a fuck ton of slow cooking next weekend to cover for the next few days.
Apartment is a massive mess? Clean your room, bucko (or kindly ask your mom to come over and do it in exchange for something nice and appreciative).

Once you no longer have any loose ends in your life and can truly put away a whole day without anything being able to pester you, you'll be absolutely amazed at how calm and productive you will be able to feel. It's no coincidence that successful people who make it also happen have the rest of the shit in their lives together.

Get a digital camera and get some fish-eye lenses and learn about imitating Lens Filters in your art https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x7oRoYsrr4

Steal from photography and cinematography

Photobashing. Sketchup. Literally tracing over photographs. Take lots of pictures and use them as a basis for your work. That way you don't have to worry about copyright infringement.

Sadly, that's the best refutation he's got

>>3899786
learn about rhythm and flow in your art

>So I'm going to give up learning to draw but I'm not giving up drawing itself.
Kind of Based if you ask my honest opinion.

listen to music at very low volume, forget about anything with dialogue/spoken world

Drawing requires a shit ton of focus. Odds are that you probably draw better than you think but your self is an inner mess

>>3899849
Not really. Getting rid of distractions is a good way to finally find focus.

>>3899786
Give it up OP. Your art will always be worthless if you want everything handed to you, to get good without doing everything that professional artists have done to get to their level.

>>3899847
You know, I did this once. After a straight week of cleaning and tying up loose ends I was the most productive I have ever been. Need to do it again, so e things have been piling up.

Make spaghetti lines and pray that your subconscious gave you something good.

Or any chemical that can give you creative side while at the same time lower your inhibitions

there are no crutches lol. Only reason people see it as crutches is because they have high ambitions when going in, then they decide later to become like sakimichan and just trace it all.

m8, if your drawing is that bad just draw anything and enter it into the tate modern, people will literally pay for shit there.

Not OP but that's interesting. Thank you.
