If you dont draw every day for even as little as 5 minutes youre NGMI

meh. not really. drawing every single day is overrated

This. You still need a lot of practice, but it's not like if you skip a day you're a lost cause. You can even see your skill deteriorate after you've spent some time not drawing, but it'll come back very quickly.

its different for everybody, you can also improve simply by going outside and studying real life with your eyes and memorizing shapes. if youre super burnt out forcing yourself to draw won’t help, sometimes it’s good to take a break and do other things, consume new media and then come back to it with a fresh mind and you mightve even improved

you don't have to draw every day.

main point is people spend too much time on here worrying about if theyre going to make it or not instead of spending that time drawing and actually putting the work in to make it

Yep. Stress and anxiety are a bitch, but just make a conscious effort to learn and practice and you'll make gains. Relax and have fun.

What the fuck all of you? If I don't draw for even a couple of hours I get almost anxious I'm not being productive

>> No.4018413

I don’t get anxious because of not being productive, but I only feel good when I’m drawing, therefore I draw all the time.

Then you need to chill out. i get the worries but you don’t want to burn yourself out and make art not be fun anymore in the end and quit. breaks are necessary sometimes

When I start getting drawing anxiety about productivity or whatever I take a step back from fundies and just draw whatever the hell I want without caring too much about the specifics.

right. i’m having a huge depressive episode right now and i simply don’t have the motivation or energy to draw every day or study hardcore so instead i’m doing paintings of more simple subjects which is fun and still helps me improve other parts of my art and doesn’t stress me tf out

i work at a grocery store and i just loosely doodle on sticky notes when i get a minute here and there. even jotting ideas down is useful, i get ideas a lot while im out and never write them down. loosen up anon. dont wait for motivation to come to you either. just sit down and do it and it will be fun every time. learning new things and creating new pathways is the same part of your brain as pain. when you wait for motivation or energy its really fear. but the best thing you can do for yourself is move past it. its like skateboarding, youre afraid of the first fall but once you do, its not so bad. you get back up and go on. its always worse in your head

not so much fear, and not simple motivation. depression and adhd sometimes simply makes it impossible to do anything, but that’s fine because i’m still having fun and i know i’ve been steadily improving so i’m not worrying much. but thank you anon! i think we can all make it if we try.
