Happened the same to me. you need to start from 0 and try to forget everything you learned that is the only way

> I've never been consistent or put in much time each day
Another pointless thread by a useless fag

Nice projection, but it won't help him, anon. We're all gonna make it, no point in redditing ourselves by antagonizing drawfriends
>>5199309
You're overwhelmed, I'm sure you're an insecure person, that's why you're so concerned about wasting time. If you don't enjoy something, but you're still in pain because you wanna do it, you enable a shitty loop
Best advice I can give you, just pretend you're gonna kill yourself in less than 1 month. You're gonna die without drawing?
Are you gonna fade away just like this? No way. Not like this

>>5199327
I know I'm useless. I can't make myself focus or work at anything, even things I've been really excited about
>>5199337
I wanna kill myself like every night lately. I still just don't feel any different about it.
>>5199323
I might try that. I feel like I even struggle with the most basic stuff, everyone else figures it out so much better.

>>5199309
Same here, except I've been consistent in practicing. I'm not giving up however despite having no talent (which now you realize, its pretty real).

>>5199346
It hurts
though I'm just unable to discipline myself to draw like that. sometimes when I've been extra motivated I've set timers and gone an hour or two, but that rarely happens and it's a struggle.
I think I'm just not meant to have any kind of hobbies or skill.

Anon, fix your sleep schedule. Tell yourself to wake up at 6:30 am every day no matter what.

Everything else will follow.

>even with direct reference it's awful
That means you need to simplify things and go back to square one.
Just directly copy references for a while. I mean direct one to one copies, drawing an exact copy of what you see. Grind out a bunch of these until they don't look terrible anymore. It might not be very fun, but if you can't copy a reference then you can't accomplish much else. You just have to accept that it won't be fun and grind through it until it gets better.

I wake up at 5-6am every day and fall asleep before 9 or 10 like every night
>>5199594
I've done quite a bit of this for figure drawing and I'm still completely terrible. It's been a while though

>>5199618
Drawing may not be for you. Are you just a hobbyist? If so, who cares about being so strict about your drawing habits

>>5199624
I guess it's not. I don't know why I want to be good at it. Maybe I just wanted to have some value as a person instead of being completely worthless and vacant

>>5199630
Then find something else you'll enjoy. Being ripped could arguably bring you more joy and value than drawing.

>>5199632
I hate exercising. honestly I don't feel driven to anything like that and don't enjoy anything really

>>5199639
sounds like you got lethargy, maybe you aren't getting enough sleep or have a poor diet I don't know I'm not a doctor though

>>5199642
I sleep plenty these days
my doctor just gave me antidepressants but I still wanted to kms when I was on them

>>5199309
just draw

I know that feel. It applies to almost everything these days. ive repeatedly failed and burnt out so many times at things I wanted to achieve. Feel like im not cut out for anything
