Imagine how happy your waifu will be when you draw her. She won't care if it's 'poor quality' either, she loves you for who you are.

What you need is discipline, motivation fades away too quickly. There will be days when you want to do anything but draw, and those are the days that you need to be strong and force yourself to do stuff.

Look into the future, set reasonable goals, think of how good you'll be 2 years from now; do art because you want to and not to show off and don't worry about stuff too much, just keep grinding

Good joke. Your waifu will only love you if you produce the best art of her.

1. Go to Artstation, take a look at all the art that is better than yours, get butthurt, get motivated.
2. Put on some music or podcast to feel need to get your hands and eyes busy while you're listening to it.
Bonus: take a commission, ask for a deadline.

I've been having motivational troubles myself. One thing persisting in my head is that whenever I try to draw, my skill or any style I attempt can barely ever be consistent enough. Even if I were to redraw something I've already managed before. It's all luck I feel, a big guessing game and I have no idea how to fix this. Another issue is I'm starting to get too self conscious about how slow I might be when drawing. It's draining. These two issues lingering in my head prevent me from making art as often as I wish, afraid to ever be as involved as I want within my biggest passion knowing I don't have any control on what I make. Does just simply drawing every day fix this, is there anything else specific to help these particular problems? I don't have any clue what else I would need to do but the situation I'm in keeps me aimless and at a halt.

I'm 21 right now and want to take art more seriously than I have before. I've been meaning to since the last few years but these thoughts have prevailed even then inhibiting the possible upmost progress I could have been making. One half of me actually thinks I am inherently incapable of surpassing these problems of mine no matter what I could ever do but I am also willing to attempt anything that might help ensure if this is true or if it really is just bullshit thinking. I primarily do freehand if that accounts for anything. I just want art to be bearable and systematic some more like how it seems to be for others. Where whatever is made isn't a 50/50 chance of total failure.

Is it just me, or getting a good dose of motivation only happens when someone likes and talks about your content, even if it's only one individual?

I have a problem I hate. When I'm away from home I want to draw on my tablet. But when I get home it goes away and I'm always doing something else.
I need discipline.
