[Anonymous No.4783194]

Practice before vidya, and set a goal for how much time you want to draw. Don't aim for the whole day, aim for a manageable amount so that you don't dread starting while getting into the habit of regular practice.

Stop playing games at all. I noticed how much more productive I was when I had nothing to play. My boredom fueled me and i could spend good 9 hours on drawing.
Of course I ruined it all when I bought Sekiro and wasted 5 weeks of my life on that game

Once I get started drawing I can draw all day with no breaks.

[Anonymous No.4783381]

use your computer's sticky note function to make a checklist and put "Maximum 3 hours of video games" or something
set up a timer before you start a video game and try to be consistent with your marks
it's what I am doing right now

oh, and get a (in my case non-display) drawing tablet, having something digital to rely on helps immensely when you're too lazy to even take out a piece of paper

[Anonymous No.4783386]

Art will always be my first priority and that includes weightlifting as that assists me in art, i can indulge in video games when the circumstances are right which are:

1: i accomplished my art/gym goals for the day/week
2: its thr weekend and i want to relax a little

[Anonymous No.4783391]

I have this problem too lol, all i want to do is draw even if it exhausts me.
Although i want to get back into some vidya, i really enjoyed reading fate it gave me heaps of inspiration. I use vidya as inspiration

Obviously you enjoy video games a lot more than art so you should just give up and play all day

[Anonymous No.4785170]

Why do people enjoy videogames so much? It's not accomplishing anything, no one is impressed by it and there's no actual danger.

Working out helps you learn and appreciate anatomy. You're literally feeling the form when you work out.

[Anonymous No.4785653]

>>4783386
that image is fukken saved. It'll be my standard answer to anyone who ask why I make such a huge deal about drawing daily.

>>4785170
"video games" is too broad in itself. Some people do it for the challenge, some do it for the story, some do it for the social aspect... there are many types of gamers.
The only answer I consider "bad" is "out of habit". I you play vidya just because that's what you do, with no joy, then it's an addiction.
But one of the answer is "to create things". There's a positive hormonal response in humans when we create, be it something real (like, a drawing) or something simulated (like, a minecraft house). Of course, it is way simpler to create minecraft houses since there's no learning involved.

>>4785237
not the anon you asked to, but for me, there's 3 things:
-Mens sana in corpore sano. An healthy spirit can only live in an healthy body. There's just so much trouble you're avoid down the line if you exercice regularly and properly, without any need to overdo it.
-discipline. You set up a schedule and goals and stick with them, it's the best way to get long-term results. It's true for gym, it's true for art.
-being able to look at yourself in a mirror when you have a question on muscles. It prevents you from drawing muscular women as [pic related]. I'm always surprised during drawing sessions when I see how many art students don't even know what a deltoid looks like...

>>4783150
Instant gratification, get rush of adrenaline without putting anything on the line, another thing for men to gatekeep women and make them feel like they're apart of something for consuming a piece of art.

I think the process of making a vidya game seems very creative, but mindlessly consuming products? Not so much.

>do you feel accomplishment after finishing it? you feel joy trying yo defeat every single enemy?
Yes.
It's literally the same sense of accomplishment you get for actually accomplishing something. The accomplishment itself is false, of course, but the feeling is real.

I posted (and not reposted, it's the first time I posted it myself and wasn't aware that others already had) for two reasons:
-to illustrate what I was saying. This cover is the best example of what laziness means. The art is lazy, the design is lazy, the colors are lazy, the lines are lazy, the pose is lazy. This is supposed to represent a character that is peak human perfection and it represents her in the laziest way possible, making her look unfit and sleazy. That is what happens when you lack discipline. That's what your art looks like when you play video games until you don't enough time left to do a proper assignment and replace it with a political message (the message being: perfection is overrated, it's fine being mediocre). It's not fine being mediocre.
-to remind everyone that laziness is not acceptable. The artist who drew it should be fucking ashamed of himself, but the editor that approved it should be slapped hard a couple times too. Same thing with this Naruto box et illustration, where the art itself much more competent, but the editor who approved it deserves to be fired, because it's so far from the original style that the contrast is comical. No wonder manga crushes western comics if western comics have gotten this lazy.

tl;dr, this WW84 cover is what OP is going to be: unfocused and lazy, and in the end mediocre

>you currently have 100% energy, you wont have more energy than now at any moment of the day. Sure, you might be more awake, or more energetic later, but you wont be able to stay awake more than now
>make a list of the important stuff you want to achieve today, from the most important, to the least one

>when you are at 40%, start the second most important one
>at 15%, third one
>at 10%, 4th one
>at 5%, 5th one
>at 0%, go to sleep
rinse and repeat. Do not make a schedule: I am going to do 3 hours this, 3 hours this, and 3 hours this. You wont be able to do it, we are not robots. Make priorities, and put in each one as much energy as it is important

with your currently schedule, what I understand is that video games is the most important thing for you, and drawing comes second. Change that

I also do the same. Today for example, I started with video games, because theres some missions I want to do. But today I will end, and after I end them, I will do whatever I feel like. But tomorrow, I start with drawing, and later in the day I will do something else.

It helps with lots of things.
Not only just understanding anatomy and muscle mass better but also helping me move my muscles and stretch myself, since sitting down and drawing all day sifftens my body. Also helps with my focus and mental health.
