i've been stuck for 2 years always drawing the same things... every time i try doing new things i give up , last year i filled up 1 drawing notebook leaving no blank space in one month ( i was mostly trying to learn how to draw a face from every angle) without any improvment i really consider quiting drawing but i can't i love it too much and an artist that i respect a lot told me that i had big potential to be an extremly good mangaka, i really want to improve what can i do to step out of my comfort zone ?

You need to have better discipline, and the only way to do that is to challenge yourself, if you don't want to get out of your comfort zone then your ngmi

Do you play videogames or read books or comics or watch movies or cartoons. Then try drawing something you like, either that already exists, or something entirely new that takes inspiration. If you need an extra incentive smoke some weed.

Get a sketchbook specifically for breaking out of your zone. Label it and everything.

restart with architectural perspective and vanishing points then work back to shapes in perspective and apply what you learn from shape building to the faces. Use cylinders and spheres, blocks, and triangles to build heads in different perspectives.

I'm the same.
All I do is draw medieval soldiers, wizards, and bitches with thick thighs.
Obviously I'm /beg/, but I'm already damn bored with myself. I need to be obsessed with something new.

Oh that's more extreme than my case.
I tried drawing non-human subjects, you know animals.
You can't fall back on old habits you formed drawing the human figure, but you're still kind of improving your skill.
I also recommend gitting gud at perspective, it'll feel like you're relearning how to draw from scratch, but you'll like the results after some time.

Drawing perspective can be rather fun once you learn to laugh at the deformed monstrosities you happen to make along the way
