I wanna draw more consistently but im always afraid of my drawings coming out like shit. I feel like if was a lot better at drawing i would do it a lot more but whenever I try to draw something from imagination it doesn't look how I envisioned it and it makes me want to shoot myself. Is there anyway to stop caring about how my drawings look so I can get more experience?

>>7901221Focus more on the process than the outcome. The more you focus on the outcomes the less you’ll draw and the worse you’ll get. Just try to focus on making as many drawings as possible
>>7901221Stop drawing so much. Then you stop caring
>>7901221Your drawings will come out like shit. That's part of the process. Do you think Moebius took a pen and paper one day and came out with Blueberry ?No, he made shitty drawings like everyone.If you want to care less, remember that practice makes perfect. Think about something you're good at (anything, even a video game) and ask yourself how shitty you were when you first started.You'll never get good and you'll never enjoy anything if you constantly tell yourself "I'm shit". From now on, everytime you say that to yourself, train to block that thought by telling "That's an automatic thought and that refrains me to get better." Then take a deep breath, take your pen, and draw.
>>7901221>I feel like if was a lot better at drawing i would do it a lot more but whenever I try to draw something from imagination it doesn't look how I envisioned it and it makes me want to shoot myself.You don't have to draw from imaginations. There's no shame in using references. You should focus on getting good at drawing first then drawing from imagination>Is there anyway to stop caring about how my drawings look so I can get more experience?Well you gotta accept that drawing like shit is the part of path to drawing goodI mean that's something true for every skill in life. You gotta suck first to git gud
>>7901221When you feel like that you need to focus on getting better, try out ways to draw better, study, practice your weaknesses
>>7901221Comparing how your drawings appear in real life to how they appear in your head is probably the most lop-sided, unfair, purposefully designed to fail way that you can possibly evaluate your own art. When art is only an image in your head, it's abstract, amorphic, and it doesn't have to conform to the laws of reality. Hell, your mental image of the picture in your head probably changes in real time while you're actively thinking about it; your brain just doesn't have the processing power to keep the thing perfectly consistent. But when you put it onto paper, it has to abide by rules and structure, many of which you probably weren't even consciously thinking about when the image existed nowhere but in your head..When a drawing doesn't turn out the way you thought it would, that is a clear indication that either you lacked the expertise to channel the idea onto paper, or the idealized version of the drawing in your head was actually imperfect, if not both. If you want to fix that, you will need to first have the humility to accept that imperfections in your art are the direct results of your imperfections, both as an artist and as a person. To fix your art, you must first fix yourself. Learn and practice more about the fundamentals you are lacking, both in art and psychologically, and learn to evaluate your results as they exist in real life, not how they only theoretically exist in the magic reality of your imagination. "Working in theory" doesn't matter for shit if it doesn't work in practice.>"Every artist has about ten thousand bad drawings in them. The key is to get them all out as fast as possible." - Chuck Jones
There are lots of ways, but you won't do any of them, will you OP?
Oh I have a fix for this. Ok so what you do is make art that you yourself regard as low quality. For me writing is difficult but if its fanfic I don't expect it to be good and I make it smut which I often find to be terrible. Now when I get writing I feel fine cause I see it as bad.So maybe go to the drawthreads and do some deliveries.
