Drop a styling tip

if you need more dimension on your artwork, turn the whole piece into a brush (Set it to a keyboard shortcut in the shortcut menu) and fill in going different directions for movement

Got a collection of Andy Warhols, understand how easy it is to go stamp crazy. Sampling some things might drop a strange line, or a weird fate, terrestials if sampling real things.

It's funny that beginners always fall into this weird trap where they find something that is very novel to them (as a result of being new to art, most things are novel) and then immediately trying to impart that to others with the air of an educational authority.

I'm autistic, with ADHD. I can't focus on trying to get better at all or even come up with anything to draw without just giving up and going back to looking at my phone and doing something else.
I've legitimately never been able to commit myself to any serious hobby and have gotten lazy over the years with my only actual one which is writing and the only reason I'm good at writing is because I wanted people to be able to understand what the fuck I was saying and I wanted to write good stories because I thought I'd never be able to make them in a visual medium, but that's it. I've never been able to commit to a serious routine, schedule, or anything. I just sit in my room online doing basically nothing.
Everything I try doing looks so daunting and impossible. I tried learning Source Filmmaker as a teen and I gave up immediately because it looked too complicated. I tried learning how to make my own games in game maker, gave up immediately and never touched it. Even something like drawing just looks so complex and impossible. This is what it's like for everything I try doing.

I started drawing on February 25th, 2024. Initially, I copied various drawings from animes I liked, but eventually, I realized this approach wasn't working for me, so I switched to "Keys to Drawing." Despite the change, something still felt off about my drawing process.

I realized that I never talked to myself while drawing; instead, I mindlessly copied and observed without engaging in any practical dialogue or reflective thought. I always rushed my drawings without thinking deeply about what I was doing.

What's really challenging for me is to remain conscious while drawing. I tried to do this today but got distracted and slipped into autopilot. This demotivated me because, after three months of drawing, I realized I hadn't been actively thinking while drawing; I was just mindlessly copying and looking.

My question is, has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, should I just push through and try to draw consciously and patiently, or is there an underlying issue I need to address?

I'm not sure, because whenever I draw without thinking, I tend to dislike and criticize my work excessively. Perhaps I'm too critical of myself or I'm doing something wrong.

Here's my work by the way it's my dad account as I have the worse storage ever.

Not a single professional artist think when they draw, they all just draw and if something is off then they stop drawing and use the art fundamentals to fix it.
Animators do the same thing but they use animation principles instead of drawing fundamentals, unless they're 2d animators ofc.

No. The Flow state is the state when your body is working automatically, it's for when you're working on something you already know. The difficult frustrated state where time slows down is where you're actually learning.
Flow state when you work, frustrated state when you're learning.

>>7158178
I gave up on any sort of thinking because it was never productive.
"How could this be represented with lines? I have no idea."
"Why doesn't this look right? I have no idea."
"What should I do differently next time? I can't think of anything."
"What process should I use to create this? I don't know, because I have no knowledge of any functional drawing process."
"Is there a resource that answers any of my questions or provides a process I can use? No."

Why is it so rare to see art where something is actually happening like pic related, instead of some character striking a pose (and looking at the camera)?

Art is supposed to capture a moment, not emulate a photoshoot.

I like light novels for this reason but it sucks illustrations are seen as kiddie. Probably because publishing houses want to save money just like when Tor got caught using AI art for a cover.

>>7154809
My problem is I don't feel like spending 9 hours for 3k likes and 200 retweets. Or 100k likes and 3k retweets. Because either way you're just a moment on a timeline, and there's always another You below you waiting for their 3 seconds. Even if it touched someone, it's not a moment that endures.
>Oh wow this is amazing
2 weeks later you aren't even in the rear view mirror of their deepest thoughts. You happened, and for what? It's rewarding to look at art like this, it's just not as rewarding to make it

Why do you care at all about anatomy being unrealistic if it looks good? Are you training to get a job in medical illustration? It's literally insignificant otherwise. If it looks good, it is good. It's art, not mathematics. If you want it to look good and be realistic or accurate, then you can do that. If you want it to look good and be cartoony or unrealistic, you can do that.

You guys see everything as a pissing contest, it's so sad to see people here value social hierarchy over the love of art.

Real right wing artists don't share their art online, it's their hobby not a perfomance like it is for leftoids.

Chuds do draw shitty wojaks and gotchu comics but they're not right wing they're just contrarians. If we were in a right wing zeitgeist they'd be drawing troony comics instead.
