I was about to say you drew more than me but I forgot I spent at least 4 whole hours working on a picture then felt like not finishing it. An anons stats discouraged me from posting to social media.

>>4956479
How do you forget drawing 4 hours?

I find it comes in waves, for me. Some days I draw the entire day, others it's barely 30 minutes.
But I've spent about half an hour today, so far, and only have the rectangle I paint bucket filled & locked as a layer to show for it. Keep fucking up. It's getting frustrating.

>>4956476
Get to COOMER State by browsing rule34, then draw. You will draw. Trust me.

>>4956476
don't be ashamed. youtube devotes enormous amounts of resources perfecting it's addictiveness, you never stood a chance

Because I didn’t tick off my habit timer yesterday to track time but I spent a while on a finished piece.

>some guy repairing a cell phone tower 600 ft in the air
>some guy complaining about movies
>here's a video of 7-11 in the 1980s
Fug bros, get me out of this youtube quagmire, I don't even really care about any of this shit but I can't stop watching

>>4956510
Watch videos while drawing?

>>4956510
lol you too? I listened to crime watch daily videos for the past 2 weeks and every video gets so repetitive that you can just listen to it as background noise.

It’s depressing how similar each video is and makes me glad I’m not a normal Joe with a wife/gf.

>>4956510
omg anon why don't you make videos of you watching the videos then you watch youtube all day every day and be a famous content creator

t. youtube exec

this. feeling powerless shouldn't lead to doing nothing, it should lead to cooming.

>>4956495
I find if I concentrate all of my coomer energy into not cooming I can draw the whole day and feel glad I did. I can then reward myself with a big, fat coom marathon at the end of the week

>>4956476
>For me, I spent the night watching youtube videos and browsing /ic/
My attention span is completely and irreversibly fucked. I honestly feel really horrible that I can't even sit an hour and just focus on the exercises.

>>4956476
I didnt draw today at all- just felling tired.

>>4956476
I said im gonna go back to my 10k journey this month and join inktober, but instead i shit my pants and had erectile dysfunction while having sex with my gf. now im having a 'hard' time getting back on the grind

>>4956476
What pisses me off is how I can easily put +4 hours into playing stupid shit like Street Fighter. Genuinely makes me feel like a fraud

>>4956476
I've had this feeling a lot. Making a schedule and trying to stick to it helped a lot, try not to beat yourself up when you mess up.
Make it a habit, start with 1 hour and 1 everyweek.
I draw everyday now and I've seen massive gains.
Read Art and Fear.

jesus

>>4956476
You just have to draw one line and your motivation does the rest. That first line for the day is far fucking harder than every other.

>>4956476
Also I dislike seeing ops image. Everytime I see it I have to go look for the archive threads where I always posted this on response. I didn't make it but it influenced me so much I made it a job to try and respond with it everytime someone uses it on /ic/.

Video games are easy to get lost in. I don’t have the stamina for it now but when I was younger I spent as long as 12 plus hours in mmos in a single session.

>>4956933
>Street Fighter

What league? Don't tell me you sacrifice drawing hours to play some shit tire ultra bronze matches.

I was supposed to practice perspective fundies today but all I drew was fat bitches farting instead.

>>4957135
sometimes I'm silver

>>4956870
I'm gonna start meditating, hopefully it helps my attention span.

i needa jackoff

>>4956984
this is more true than people would think. just get your foot in the door and you can work automatically almost.

>>4957147
You probably got more gains that way too desu

>>4956510
This is why I have like 7 youtube accounts. When I only had 1 youtube my recommendations kept getting filled with vine comps and kurzgesagt videos

>>4957936
you can tell youtube to not recommend channel.

>>4957941
I have certain vids i want to watch at certain times, like sometimes I want to watch art videos, sometimes fitness, sometimes gaming, etc

>>4956476
Oh my god, how do i break the cycle? I stopped playing LoL to get more time f9r drawing but started playing Minecraft instead. When I'm not playing with friends i feel empty so i watch yt videos. I want to fill this emptiness with drawing bc i feel like i should do that somehow but i cant break the fucking cycle. Oh my god, what am I even doing.

>all I do is watch and read stuff about perspective and gesture but I dont fuckin draw
I may as well be playing my favorite video game, at least you guys are having fun

I was hungover today from a dinner with friends from last night, but the main issue was I couldn't fall asleep last night due to not eating enough, the alcohol, and just general shittiness so that fucked with me, plus I had no caffiene and the gyms are closed too so no real source of energy either in the day either.

I'll try again tomorrow.

>>4957971
>I'll try again tomorrow
My excuse also.

>>4957971
