Anon, I want you to try something. I do it, and it works.
When you go to bed, I want you to think

"Did I do my best today?"

If the answer is no, you have no one else to blame than yourself. Which I am sure you do every day. But I think of it this way: Every day I go to bed and think "I really did my best today" are they days where I feel the most happy. The days where you go to bed and cannot think that, has been a waste. If you're not trying -this goes for anything in life- the best of your ability, why are you even trying? There's a world difference between being "alive", and "living". And anon, when you die, don't you want to be able to think "I lived to my utmost?" Because I know I sure would, and to accomplish that, trying you best every single day is the best you can do.

So anon, I ask you to look at yourself when you go to bed tonight. Did you do your best? I sure wish you could say yes.

I actually go through long stretches of not drawing. But I always seem to come back to it, because overall, it makes me feel good and I miss it (regardless of what I think of my skill level).

Maybe you can try re-identifying what you loved about art? And maybe you just need to go out and get some fresh air for a little bit.

Same as you, I draw for a month then i feel burned out. Why? A few things: studies which dont improve me that much, no original content and overall it makes me mad that still cant draw what i i would like to draw.

I love art, I really do, its just i am terrible at it af.

Thanks man, just about to go to bed. This day has been a let down. You kind of opened my eyes and I'm probably going to be thinking about this every night, as there's nothing else to think about then anyway.

Love?

If you really loved art you would be creating right now. You don't reignite your love for something. Either you love it or you don't, either you put the time in or you won't. Get over your lack of skill. Start working.

I personally watch people like Sinix, when they're having so much fun with their art that I think "FUCK that looks fun, what I did today was boring as fuck I NEED TO DO THAT INSTEAD" and I end up enjoying the shit out of a crappy old man's wrinkles on a piece of paper.

Begin drawing without any high expectations from your drawings
Like everyone has tried to say, once you begin drawing, the momentum will lead you to create more and more regardless of what crap you produce

>> No.2156415

Re-evaluate your goals: set realistic deadlines in terms of what you want to achieve, like finishing your portfolio due to a date or sending applications, something that makes your dream to have a connection to the real world

Check out your competition, people who are on the same skill level as you are, then try to 1up those people, really try to figure what you would do differently in order to make your work pop out in comparison

Browse art that really gets you inspired, don't look for stuff you find technically impressive, just the artwork that makes you feel things or puts stories in your head

Learn to doodle again: don't do studies all the time, draw things you want to draw, doodle things that actually look good, you're allowed to cut corners and hide the parts you don't know how to draw; these doodles are just for your own enjoyment and the enjoyment of having created something that looks nice and beautiful

The issue with checking out your competition is that it's sometimes hard to find someone in your skill range and you might end up getting discouraged. Checking out other artists is good but make sure to keep yourself in check.
