6916002 No.6916002 [Reply] [Original]

I'm autistic, with ADHD. I can't focus on trying to get better at all or even come up with anything to draw without just giving up and going back to looking at my phone and doing something else.
I've legitimately never been able to commit myself to any serious hobby and have gotten lazy over the years with my only actual one which is writing and the only reason I'm good at writing is because I wanted people to be able to understand what the fuck I was saying and I wanted to write good stories because I thought I'd never be able to make them in a visual medium, but that's it. I've never been able to commit to a serious routine, schedule, or anything. I just sit in my room online doing basically nothing.
Everything I try doing looks so daunting and impossible. I tried learning Source Filmmaker as a teen and I gave up immediately because it looked too complicated. I tried learning how to make my own games in game maker, gave up immediately and never touched it. Even something like drawing just looks so complex and impossible. This is what it's like for everything I try doing.

Comparable to that idiot here. When normal person hears "draw", he thinks of picking up pen or pencil and using it to make marks on the paper, everybody saw someone *drawing*. The idiot here sounds like he heard the word, but doesn't even know what does it mean.

>>6916036
You don't even draw, you literally don't even try. You ask us how to run yet you don't even raise your fat ass from the chair to WALK to get the tendies.
You're not trying to make a habit of drawing everyday. you prolly don't even have a job because getting up everyday in the morning requires a modicum of discipline.
That's, of course, assuming you're not a troll.

>>6916044
>If I knew what to do, then I'd fucking do it.
No, you wouldn't
You don't even have an actual reason to draw.
Do you even like something? A game, a character? Something you want to put your spin on it?
Why do you eat tendies? Not because you're just hungry, because then you would eat just bread. No, you eat tendies because you like the taste. That's why you're a fat fuck.
Draw the fucking tendies then. Draw all those extra chicken that have to be killed to maintain the fat on your gluttonous arse, you owe them that.

Here's an ancient clip (from Animation World Magazine) of Vilppu building up simple forms using rounded shapes; you might find drawing less daunting by starting with this exercise at least (sorry for the horrendous quality as it was uploaded in 1998, but the next step up would be the actual demos in his books / DVDs, which I assume would be overwhelming / too confusing for now)

Have you tried drawing with a mouse? In a way, it's more non-committal than pencil and paper (especially if you do it in something like MS Paint), so you could trick yourself mentally into thinking that it's just random sketching / doodling, rather than anything that has to come out looking good.

That may not work long-term for improving, but you might develop enough of a drawing-habit that way, that you could then apply it to pencil + paper (or tablet) later on.

You mentioned that you've written before - have you ever gotten into the flow state while you were writing? You could theoretically write for a few minutes (about something you're really passionate about) before you plan to draw (or I guess however long it takes you to get into the flow state), and that might give you the necessary boost to crank out a few doodles, if even for just a few minutes. You could possibly even alternate between the two.

These people do not have ADHD and will not understand your struggle. As someone else with ADHD, let me actually give you some advice.

People with ADHD have problems with their executive function, which basically means we're terrible at self-motivating. Medication can help with that, but even on meds I wasn't able to sit down and teach myself how to draw.

You need to look for a place where you can go every day to draw. The problem with this is that there aren't many places that having life drawing every day. But you need to find one.

I took a chance and moved across the country to a place that has life drawing sessions every single day, and it's made it so easy to draw. I don't have my computer there as a distraction, and you aren't allowed to have your phone out while the model is posing so that isn't a problem either. Being around other artists has really inspired me to try new things with my drawings as well.

I feel for you. It's not easy to get good at a skill, especially a creative skill, with ADHD. But if you put yourself in the right environment you can progress a lot.

You're trolling, it could be even several crabs going at it because why not. Would explain janitors not shutting down the whole thing.
An autist(or sperg) would just follow instruction given few threads ago. There are literally beginner and artbook threads right now.
An autist would google the definition of drawing and he would also search drawing videos on youtube.
An autist is probably obsessed with something (like robots) and he wants more of it, so he decided to draw it.
He would google robot drawing videos. He would go look at machinery and try to draw them.
An autist would struggle with starting to draw, so he would google articles about dealing with procrastination, he would discover the power of habit
An autist would then set up an alarm to go off at certain time and then force himself to draw for a hour every day at the same exact time. He would form a habit, he would start making specific question he could search in google.

If you were truly just lazy, you wouldn't bother us with your bullshit for so long. If you weren't malicious, you would be ashamed to be such bother to everyone else and not even trying literally anything. If you really cared, you would understand that you are at disadvantage and you need to struggle much more to get somewhere.
But I know you're not genuinely seeking help, drop the act.
You can keep whining, but no one is buying it anymore.

he's not. you're really the worst of everything right now.

The only way to draw something good is to draw it badly enough times to learn how to make it not bad. that's it. That's how simple it is.

You aren't willing to do that, so you'll never get anywhere. We can't fix that about you, only you can, and you won't.

You aren't bad at drawing, you're out of practice.

You haven't practiced enough to be good at it, or to know if you're bad at it.

This is 4chan, nobody here cares about you enough to hold your hand through something you don't want to accept or learn.

Go do fucking drawabox, go do asaro heads. Go learn a tiny fragment of a thing, and then every day learn another fragment. That's how you build into being good. Not by crying that you aren't.

Nobody will help you if you aren't willing to help yourself and just want a handout.

You want to be a good artist, you don't want to become one. You don't want to put in that work.

Tell me what the fuck to do then. A higher dosage of adderall, anti anxiety medication making me shake less and another anti anxiety medications. This is on top of a booster dosage I'm taking each day too. My mind and my body locks up and prevents me from actually doing anything. Usually either out of anxiety or my mind and my body simply just locking up and telling me "What the fucks the point"? And just making me look back at my phone again or just stimming and staring at a wall.

Legitimately NOTHING has worked. I felt better for a week and then nothing. This has gone back all the way since I was a teenager too. I had thyroid problems that got fixed, but this never got any better.

I don't know how to get the motivation to do anything. Even when I do happen to try my hardest in doing something, it's always half as good or even just 2% as good as anybody else doing the same thing, because me being purely retarded and unable to learn or focus.

And yet you spend hours on /ic/ whining, creating excuses, and bitching to other anons. I'd say you're plenty motivated.

After reading your posts here's my advice: give up.

You've done enough anon you can go somewhere else, its ok, you lost the genetic lottery. You don't have a chance at art and you never had one. Its not for everyone.

Despite all the anons who say that anyone can learn this it is simply not the case. I've meant plenty of people who have drawn for years and can't even draw a simple cube. If you're not trolling then look at how much pain you're causing yourself. The best part about quitting is that it takes no effort. And as a bonus? You never even got anywhere near good so quitting should be easy.

I'm not trying to trick you btw. I'm serious. Some people just suck at certain things and shouldn't pursue any further. Go find something better to occupy your time and if can't find anything then just lay down and wait for death. Its not like there's a point to any of this. Even if you got good it wouldn't mean anything. If anything you would just be even more miserable.

I think the other anons are right though, you're an emotional vampire who baits (yous) because you probably don't have much going on. You either want some magical advice that will make you better with no effort or you're just a troll that has a fetish for making threads like these. Either way you're a pathetic loser who would actually gain something from cutting your losses and moving on to a different hobby.

Anyways thanks for making this thread your suffering has made me realize I want to be nothing like you so I'm going to go draw.

Then you might as well say that I'm not interested in anything because I can't do anything. I do legitimately nothing all day and merely sit around, look at my phone, jerk off and go to sleep. I can't get the motivation to do anything else.
No, I want to become an artist. I want to be able to draw the shit that I want to. I don't want to be stuck just being a writer because I thought I could never be a visual artist.

Do your parents a favor and kill yourself.

As someone who has been in a similar position, do not create things that are meant to appease other people or a group audience. Make things for yourself first and foremost, work on gratifying yourself. You're returning to make new threads as if something you see will engender some sort of epiphany that will result in you being better, but that's just not going to happen. You need to cut the bullshit, start something and follow it through.

You're not going to get shit right the first time, you're not going to master anything without being assiduous and for fuck sake you wont get anything done if you give up without even giving it a red hot go.

The shit you're describing sounds like you don't know how to draft and you don't know how to follow through.

Literally me.
I feel frustrated by the things I do, they don't look fine for me at all. Everything also feels hard and burdensome, and I'm not sure if it would be worth it at all.
Jesus, I'm so tired. I am bogged down.
