How do I draw when I don't know what to draw, can't get myself motivated and never have enough energy and ADHD constantly pulling me away from it? I can't even bring myself to draw a line; only think about doing it.

Draw your figurines. You have some right?(judging based on your choice of op image and the site you are on).Gunpla are great practice, boxy shapes in perspective. Even unassembled, drawing those forms is good stuff.

ATTENTION ALL ANONS.
YOU HAVE ACCIDENTALLY FALLEN FOR HOWIE SCHIZO'S TRAP. THIS SEVERELY MENTALLY ILL ANON DOES NOT DRAW, NOR DOES HE HAVE ANY INTENTION OF DRAWING. NO MATTER HOW MUCH ADVICE OR TIPS OR CRITICISM YOU GIVE HIM, HE WILL NEVER PICK UP A PENCIL. HE HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR MONTHS, GARNERING HUNDREDS OF POSTS IN HIS COPY AND PASTE THREADS, AND NOT ONCE HAS HE EVER ACTUALLY DRAWN, ONLY POSTING THE SAME SHITTY SCRIBBLES HE MADE A YEAR AGO.

Some telltale signs you are interacting with him:
>Will mention how the only thing he can do is "write" fanfiction
>Is taking every medication under the sun
>Says he wants to draw but has no interest in drawing a single thing, he is a paradox
>Gave up every guide he tried on page one, refuses to continue
>Will disregard every single piece of advice you give, has endless excuses copied and pasted and ready to go
>"I'm autistic, with adhd"
>"I get bored and looking at my phone or staring at a wall"
>"I can't/don't know how to (most basic thing)"
>"Then I might as well not be interested in anything because I can't do anything" <--He uses this one when someone calls him out

The last thread he posted (still on the catalogue):
>>6975492
Some of the many threads /posts he's made over the past few months:
https://warosu (.) org/ic/?task=search&ghost=false&search_text=%22with+adhd%22&offset=0

HEED MY WARNING, SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME, ENERGY, AND MENTAL STRAIN BY IGNORING HIS THREADS AND POSTS.

[Anonymous No.7012998]

>>7012368
unlike you i actually try. im shit but at least im trying
im going to impersonate you. im going to shit up threads with a tripcode and go "guysss guysss omg i have adhd i cant do art oh no ):" and then over the years ill get better and better at art while you stay the same. eventually ill get so good that even the people who think im annoying have to admit im good as fuck

and after i do that, youll still be in the same exact spot. I have mental problems too, but after daily exercise and having a scheduel/goals its manageable. Get your shit together or rot. How are you able to make these embarrassing threads time after time? at least have some art to show us

just go through drawabox or literally any other drawing course

[sage No.7012999]

You don't draw bro, that's the intended purpose.
Your threads are off-topic and spam, and are getting lazier and lazier. Go bait for (you)s and attention somewhere else.

[Anonymous No.7013002]

better than an AI thread at least. its a bit comforting to see a familiar face now and then

[Anonymous No.7013004]

WARNING: THIS POSTER IS AN EMOTIONAL VAMPIRE WHO WILL DEFLECT ALL ADVICE YOU GIVE AND FEAST ON YOUR PSYCHIC ENERGY BY DRAGGING YOU INTO POINTLESS CONVERSATIONS. HE HAS MADE THIS EXACT SAME THREAD COUNTLESS TIMES.

Example of his past exchanges:
>>6836401
>Yes. Your drawings are careless and rushed.
>6836406
>How?
>>6836436
>Google "How to Draw Freehand Straight Lines"
>6836516
>I'm drawing with my shoulders and elbows. This is the best I can do.
>>6836619
>Then you're resistant to advice that already helped hundreds of thousands artists world wide aka retarded.
>6836623
>What other "advice" is there? I Googled exactly what was asked and that's what came up.
>>6836630
>Sigh. No anon. You don't skip and jump from one technique to another until it works. You pick one and grind it until it clicks.
>6836634
>What other techniques are there? You haven't told me a single one. The arm and elbow is literally what every fucking piece of advice tells me to do.

Every reply by this mental case is designed to foist the burden of improving onto the other person. Note how he always vacillates between begging for advice, then finding a way to disregard advice.
Whenever you give him advice, he will whine about how he can't do it.
If you follow up, explaining how to do it, or challenging him, he will whine about the explanation not working for him. He will make excuses and ask for explanations of more and more basic things beyond the point of absurdity.
He will insist he wants to do something, then turn around and claim he doesn't know what he wants to do.
He will never post examples of his attempts, or post ones done with minimum effort a year ago.
He will try to bait you into meta-discussions, about himself and why he sucks.
When you eventually give up, he will start whining again that there is no good advice.

STOP giving him attention. He is mentally ill and has remade this same thread over and over, because HE IS NOT LOOKING FOR ADVICE. HE WANTS YOU TO ENGAGE IN HIS PITY PARTY.

Consistently trying and failing until you succeed is the only way to get good. You must keep the flame on or the water will not boil. Never take a break longer than a few days at most. And breaks should be rare. Detach your self worth from failed drawings, you have 10000 of them inside of you and there is only one way to get them out.

I've never been able to commit myself to any serious hobby, ever. All I can do is type and that's it. I've never finished writing a single story in my entire life. Now I want to try different hobbies. Every single one of them when I was younger, I gave up on.
I have literally tried doing several artistic hobbies and gave up each of them immediately when I was a teenager.
>Gave up on Source Filmmaker
>Gave up on GameMaker
>Gave up on FireAlpaca
>Gave up on Photoshop
I didn't know how any of them worked or what to
do. I don't even know basic trig. Even when I look art guides, I literally cannot comprehend them or figure them out. I don't want to be stuck with no creativity or being unable to express myself. This is what it's like for literally everything I try doing.

Honestly? A great start, especially for you Howie. I know that one of your biggest concerns was sucking at first, but that's true of everyone. Right now you accomplished something pretty great, let that sense of pride inspire you. If you're truly serious about this, don't worry about the quality of the work for now, feel good about actively drawing instead.

You will never be a real artist. You have no sense of perspective. You have no skill of markmaking. You have no observational ability. You are an autistic man twisted by reclusiveness and mental illness into a crude mockery of human potential.

All advice you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your crappy sketches behind closed doors.

Human eyes are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed artists to sniff out NGMIs with incredible efficiency. Even autists who “improov” look uncanny and unnatural to a man. Your line structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk guy to hire you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your cold, empty portfolio.

You will never be happy. You grab your pencil every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Schizophrenia is a mental health disorder characterized by persistent disturbances in thought processes, emotional regulation, and perception of reality. Individuals with schizophrenia may experience a range of symptoms, including delusions (false beliefs), hallucinations (false perceptions, such as hearing voices), disorganized thinking, disrupted speech and behavior, and impaired cognitive function. The onset of schizophrenia typically occurs in late adolescence or early adulthood.
