Am I unsalvageable, bros? How do I get over my art block?

I dunno, think up a project then make it real? Find something to be passionate about and draw

To be honest if you can't even post your beg shit here consistently, then you really are unsalvageable.

Hmm. If you draw a few more boxes maybe you'll be something one day.

Try drawing something for someone you know?
Almost all of my completed works were gifts.
>>
>>7909869
Try exercising and going out for a walk, and when you come back home, keep the momentum going by drawing. Also sleep at regular times etc etc.
It's amazing how much your attitude and motivation can be affected by some shitty habits.

If lifestyle changes aren't working, you need accountability. Call up a good friend or family member and tell them you're going to complete something by a certain date, and ask them to essentially be your teacher/boss and chase after you about it.
IF you still won't just do the work, even when being held account by those close to you, and to the point where you're further inconveniencing them - just give up, you're not cut out for this, your level of self discipline is just too low.

It may also help to have a dedicated place for drawing. A drawing desk, a drawing computer, a drawing room... might not work for the poor fags, but our brain tends to work in this silly way where it associates different places with activities. So if you sit down at the same place where you do all your gaming and fapping and scrolling your brain will think about those things, making concentrating harder.

What do you do with your time? Be honest.

Every damn time. I feel like they only actual garbage on the planet.

Nigga I'll be your fucki g drill sarge if I have to , tf is your discord?

>>
>>7909869
oh boo hoo
why don't you just go and enjoy life
>>
when I make time to draw I end up just lying down enjoying the peace and quiet because I value that more than drawing.
>>

if you were expecting mangoes and vidyagames and fapping, that's not it either. My diabetic medication pretty much murdered my libido that I can go a whole month without fapping now, and the last cartoon I watched was like a month ago (common side effects) and before that I haven't seriously watched anything or marathoned in like 3 years. I usually watch anime or TV in general only when I am sick. I never played vidyagames

>>7910092
thanks

Because life isn't about just stability and stuff. Yes I do enjoy my money and time, like not being on the clock or waking up to an alarm (unless I need to go to the doctor), and I travel when I feel like it.

Money and time is definitely not my problem, fortunately I got to a stage in life where I don't have to worry about that. After dropping out of college and not drawing regularly for like 14 years, I spent the early years in community college or being homeless, then spent that time getting other jobs, saving up money, getting social skills and real life experience outside of just sitting behind a screen animating some vidyagame's big tittied elves or generic space marines, bla bla bla. What's funny is that my time focusing on other stuff was just me running from myself and distracting myself from art. Well, now I have a high six figures saved up, post tax income regularly coming in without a job, now have my own studio unit, healthcare for life... what the fuck am I gonna do with all my free time? I can't even get a job if I wanted to due to health issues and I don't pass interviews. I lost all my friends and family members, I am literally fucking alone.

>>7910259
i dont have a discord but give me your burner email and I an email you

>>7910271
yeah me too, late at night I start feeling the need to draw something, but so tired I need to go bed
