:(

Man you good? It's not supposed to be like that

>>4820997
I get frustrated especially during the skecthing because I used to have great imagination but my mind is blank these days, despite having made very good progress skillwise. And I don't feel like mindlessly drawing references.

>>4820997
Most of the time I feel relaxed, like I'm somewhere I belong, contentment. I also get those moments of zen and focus. Sometimes I get joy

>>4820997
pyw I'm interested

I believe I am. It's weird, but do you not relate with the subjects that you draw? As a kid, I used to make gun shot noises when I drew guns, jet noises when drew planes, engines when vehicles, flexed my arms when I drew muscles, felt my hair when I drew hair and so on and I think this habit has led to me to relate too much with the characters/things that I draw. I spend hours creating stories about the characters in my pea sized brain.

Thanks, anon! :)

>>4820997
>What feelings do you get when you draw, anon?
Rage and disappointment

>>4822075

Why is that?

>>4822038
giger junior?

>>4822087
Because I suck duh

When I draw I usually get in the zone. When I stop drawing and see the results for what they are I only feel misery

Studies make me incomprehensibly angry, everything else is fun.

>>4822096

It's the same with all sorts of arts. I play music sometimes, and feel like I'm pretty good at it, but when I listen to the recordings, it's a different story. Maybe we judge ourselves too harshly, too.

>>4822111

It can be, yeah! But try not to draw the reference diagrams as is. Interpret the diagram & the knowledge in your own way

>>4820997
I feel aroused.

>>4822148

pyw

>>4822133
>Maybe we judge ourselves too harshly
No. I'm objectively shit by all standards and metric. My only thing is wOrK cUlTuRe which means jack shit when the results are fucking terrible.

>>4820997
I get a lot of anger and frustrations. I think this contribute to my rsi/wrist pain. Probably stems from having the <<you are never good enough >> attitude to git gud for too long. Im trying to fix that now !

>>4821001
Not even karl Kopinski thinks its fun. Drawing isn't fun. It just is.

>>4820997
Bad memories keep popping up depending on what I'm drawing

>>4822038
>>4822045
god daaamn that's good shit

>>4822379

What kind of drawings do you do? Care to share some of your work?

>>4822432
My drawings are different from each other, I can't help doing a different process each time. I don't think about it, but they're always different

>>4822386

thanks! :)

>>4822366
Where did he say that? I'm curious

>>4822571
He said it in a Proko interview, one of the recent ones.

>>4822516

Nice!
I suck at inking.

If you don't mind getting personal are you diagnosed with depression or psychosis? All from imagination or do you also use referenced bits? I relate a lot to the OP

>>4822793

>diagnosed with depression or psychosis

I can't afford visits to a psychiatrist, broke af. So, I wouldn't know if I got either of those things.

>All from imagination, or referenced bits

Pretty much all from imagination, but whenever I get stuck somewhere, I take help from this anatomy book (Anatomy for The Artist by Jeno Barcsay). I like the book, tho I've met several people here who shit on it, lol. I get ideas for sketches mostly when I'm half asleep, dreaming, sometimes from sleep paralysis episodes even. Once I have an idea, I meditate on it for a while & draw a few rough sketches (pic related) in this a5 sketchbook that I have.
