I feel this, but am so unhappy any day I don’t spend creating, however how small. If you’re also like that, I’d venture to say you’re too brilliant to stop.
I'll tell you a secret. The part you're stressing about isn't hard. Repetition is easy. It's when the repetition gets tedious that you have to build up some stamina. Stop thinking your practice has to go in a museum, and you'll be free.
That's me with music but the stupidity to keep going is what has made me learn more, making me feel more stupid as there's more to practice and learn I didn't know about. But I'm having fun along the way so it's fine as long as I keep going
I'm too addicted to art. I won't stop till I put my work out there for others to see and use it as a source of ideas and inspiration. Still got a bit more to go before I reach any of you up there!
im experimenting with more extreme perspectives and poses because ive always been very timid. perhaps ive exaggerated too much to the point of distortion, but i think id rather have it too exaggerated rather than bland. ill find a happy medium someday
Going out of your comfort One even if it looks awkward at first is always the best way to learn and get better! I love how you show your process on working on poses and how stylizing the perspective gives it a completely different vibe! Please keep going because ur doing such an amazing job
you only improve with practice, even if you're not at that skill level yet! you can't get there if you don't attempt it. go do some gesture drawings and life drawings!
More so its to get a feeling for movement, but seeing your art you pretty much have that down pat. Could also try drawing skeletons in different perspectives? and muscles! My friends are always telling me to practice anatomy. or squash and stretch exercises. I should be doing these too ^^'
I keep accidently doing the same but I do not have the skill level to even begin attempting those poses. But I'm also too inexperienced to recognize when a pose is way above my skill level until after I've put considerable effort into trying it.
For me the hard part is to start and problems are.
1 - I try to break tasks into smaller ones but some are atomic thus leads to larger & larger scope, less control. Some relate to each other.
2 - Fail to win ratio. I stopped counting. I'd doubt a normal person would endure so much failures.
its one of those things i spend most of my week being angry about or getting the most frustrated about but i never want to stop :3 im going to be an old lady still drawing dumb shit lol
That's the thing, it destroys my mental health, yet I'm incapable of just giving up... that's how insane it is, and I don't know how long I can handle this tbh...
You should try chess. I find myself putting myself down every day trying to get better at it. But then I do that with drawing too ... and life in general 🤔

maybe things that are hard are worth doing, sometimes, and a fact that we're alive

It's cool that I happen to usually enjoy the result.
