How do I draw when I don't know what to draw, can't get myself motivated and never have enough energy and ADHD constantly pulling me away from it? Even when I'm on my medicine, I can't bring myself to focus.

WARNING: THIS POSTER IS AN EMOTIONAL VAMPIRE WHO WILL DEFLECT ALL ADVICE YOU GIVE AND FEAST ON YOUR PSYCHIC ENERGY BY DRAGGING YOU INTO POINTLESS CONVERSATIONS. HE HAS MADE THIS EXACT SAME THREAD COUNTLESS TIMES.

Example of his past exchanges:
>>6836401
>Yes. Your drawings are careless and rushed.
>6836406
>How?
>>6836436
>Google "How to Draw Freehand Straight Lines"
>6836516

>What other "advice" is there? I Googled exactly what was asked and that's what came up.
>>6836630
>Sigh. No anon. You don't skip and jump from one technique to another until it works. You pick one and grind it until it clicks.
>6836634
What other techniques are there? You haven't told me a single one. The arm and elbow is literally what every fucking piece of advice tells me to do.

Note how every single reply by this mental case is designed to foist the burden of improving onto the other person. Also note how he always vacillates between begging for advice, then finding a way to disregard advice.
Whenever you give him advice, he will whine about how he can't do it.
If you follow up, explaining how to do it, or challenging him, he will whine about how the explanation doesn't work for him. He will continue asking for explanations of more and more basic things beyond the point of absurdity.
When you eventually give up, he will start whining again that there is no good advice.

Once again: stop giving him attention. He is mentally ill and has remade this same thread over and over again, because HE IS NOT LOOKING FOR ADVICE. HE WANTS YOU TO ENGAGE IN HIS PITY PARTY. Stop wasting your time and responding to him.

Op, follow this, you have a brain, realize the text is unedited from Loomis. Drawing moai is easier since they are misshapen anyway. Only Moai can save you now, reject moai and you will spend eternity in hell. Your instinct will be to reach for an excuse after reading this post, STOP, slap the devil out of your hand, there is no excuse this time. Moai loves you, but you must open your heart to him by making a drawing of him. Excuses will have consequences this time, be very careful, draw or die.
