>always buying art supplies and canvases/notebooks since i was 18 (im 32 now)
>never draw because "i dont have time"
>"no one cares about traditional art" "people only like digital art now"
>buy a tablet so i can draw at work or lunch
>never use it because its out of "charge"
>finally charge it and download an animation app
>cant think of anything to draw or animate
its it legitimately over for me? i have all the tools i need and now i cant think of anything, i even lost most of my followers because i stopped drawing, i didnt have much but i had like 4k-10k followers for some fanarts i did, i havent posted in 3 years

I don't know what you mean by over, but if you mean your life as an 'artist' is over, then yeah.
You're not drawing, so you can't describe yourself as someone who does.
Stop clinging to this hobby that you obviously don't enjoy (otherwise you wouldn't be avoiding it like a chore) and pick up something else; may I suggest binging shows on netflix? That seems to be the type of thing that'd suit you.

ive already watched everything on netflix

and i cant stop thinking about art and drawing i just dont do it. i wouldnt say its a chore its more like im filled with so many ideas and things i want to draw that it overloads my brain and i end up just thinking about all of them instead of drawing them.

also multiple psychics throughout my life have told me im supposed to create a cartoon or tv show that will be extremely popular and i do have some rough drafts but i cant decide on which one to focus on and they all end up mixing and i end up not being able to create a stable story its just random characters that dont match

Ugh, ignore the crabbing retard.
Just draw, scribble anything that ends up on the page no matter what it is or how shitty it is, just as long as you get yourself going...
>multiple psychics
what?

yeah i do that, i have a notepad in my car for random doodles, i just wish i could focus on 1 big piece instead of random stuff, i see artists on tiktok draw for hours sometimes days on 1 painting or drawing and i just cant bring myself to do that i dont know how they do it, its admirable and i know all the big artists take days or weeks to work on 1 project to make it perfect.

Im really into the paranormal so I've consulted with psychics a few times, you pay them to give you a reading and ive also ran into random witchy people who told me the same thing

So do you have ideas, or not? Pick one.

I'm not going to baby people who can't even put the pencil to paper. At a certain point, it's better to tell people to just move on and do something else.
For me, that point is when they aren't even willing to draw at all.
>>
>>7737708
>I don't wanna baby people
Then just don't engage if you're at this point. I'd rather OP actually try to do something productive (doesn't even have to be art really) instead of just consooming like you first suggested.
>>7737704
If you're going to attempt a bigger project, don't concern yourself with who you've seen and how fast they finish their work (especially when that stuff purely for engagement). Take as long as you need, just as long you're consistent about it.
>>
turn off your computer and phone and sit in your room until you have the urge to draw. you obviously have motivation issues

Imagine if illiterate niggas made /lit/ threads all day asking how to read
Imagine if nudist niggas made /fa/ threads all day asking how to tie shoelaces
Imagine if asexual niggas made /s/ threads all day asking how to jerk it
Just think of shit you like to look at and draw that. Pick up the fucking pencil

See a thing/person that you like in a photo or image on the net, draw your version of it

you jad all the tools from the start. If you didn't draw with pen and paper, you won't draw with a tablet.

I wouldn't worry about followers, from what you write I cannot imagine the number isn't recoverable with a single interesting drawing.

We always overestimate our /beg/ stuff. I threw my old trad work out eventually.

the main problem with nodraws is that they lie. To themselves and others.

I have no advice for you, because I know your type and I think you're doomed. It's an injury to the personality due to bad parenting or whatever - very common. It's incurable, as far as I have observed.

Anon, it never even started for you.

This hobby is weird, people that love the 'idea' of drawing are agonizing about the 'action' of drawing. People learning guitar just strum shitty chords from justinguitar until they get it. Here they argue about the size of their pen holder. Maybe it's because this hobby is cheap ?

fear of failure

it's psychologically devastating [also remember that all zoomers have some form of mental illness due to information overload + screen addiction + material conditions worsening] to spend hours on something and then it comes out like shit or you can't even finish it due to lack of knowledge/perfectionism

It’s not crabbing when someone clearly wants a pity party.
“Oh wow OP, I’m so sad for you that you never realized your potential because XYZ, let’s all get in a circle and cry together over our shared lived experiences. Here let’s play music sad music as well so we can all wallow in misery”
Are you being for real? Grow some balls.

So which one is it?
According to my analysis you just suffer from a severe case of being a bitch.
