I think this is basically the reason I've stayed so shit at drawing for so long. Sitting down to draw feels me with dread. It's not pleasant and it's not even neutral. It's painful. Everything else I've ever gotten decent at, I actually enjoyed doing it and I would look forward to it.
It's been years and this same reaction of dread has never changed. At this point I've given up hope that it ever will.

Just try draw what you like. Just draw the things that you enjoy. Try to make yourself comfortable whenever you draw. Like draw your own projects or just draw your favorite characters.

just just just
just stop assuming your experience is universal

All experiences are universal. Open your mind up to the possibility that it can see the world as an artist does

Truthfully speaking; i have basically no reason to draw since there is no real tangible outlet for me.

>make a comic
useless since i'm not a gay, a kid or a woman obsessed with drama and romance
also most subjects i would want to tell stories about would go over the reader's heads exactly like this post is going to be
>start a project
before starting a project you should have the financial prowess to publish it so that you at least can get something out of it before the chinese and the rest of the 3rd world steals it
>publish pornography
nah, i stay away from the porn industry for a reason
they're all mentally ill, arrogant or sociopaths and insufferable to interact with since they're just failed normies on porn mode + they generally got shit taste in everything, constantly crave validation and are highly emotional like women
>publish anything
no real support network and if you don't subscribe to the ideology™, even if you're neutral and really do not want to give a shit about the bread&circuses
And no one gives a shit about art that isn't porn gay romance politics propaganda fanart fake wholesome fuzzy slop
>do ragebait on the internet
not worth getting doxxed and harassed by absolute smoothbrained retards from either sides
People now just want any reason to justify murdering other people in any way possible, and i don't want to contribute or engage with that cancer + i could not give a shit about imaginary internet numbers

So in the end i would be wasting time and resources on a gamble that is 99% not in my favor due to the absolute state of society and it's """people"""

Am i demoralized though? why should i? I love drawing.
Am i going to post my work? Here's a picture of a young dude holding a goose made by Shinojunichi Boketewara

Now cue the insults and """""trolling"""""
i will reply

>>8004245
Sounds like mental gymnastics to find reasons not to draw.
>>
Legitimately don’t understand why you people torture yourselves like this.
If you don’t want to draw then just quit and find a new hobby?
>>
>>8004136
For me it's the opposite. Sometimes I avoid drawing because I lose track of time once I actually start. I've tried setting alarms but it's so tempting to just fix that one thing and before I know it I'm late for whatever bullshit I have to do.
>>
>>8004270
OP here, once I get started a similar thing can happen to me actually, but the end result after all my hours of effort is still shit so it’s super demoralizing
>>
>>8004270
same
for simple sketches and studies at least I have a tendency to be done with them in an hour or so
but for actual pieces 3 hours can go in a blink just fiddling
>>
>>8004255
>first one filtered by words
Nah, the problem is that you can't tell normies to kill themselves (as they should) or at least challenge them when they're being insane without somehow making them believe they are justified in slitting your kid's throat in front of you or give them the excuse to keep harassing you; let alone holding a mirror to their completely insane behavior without them starting a petition to get you publicly executed like it's 1386.

And any and all acknowledgement of their existence, whether replying or blocking or making fun of them, is magically a successful troll and you're seething somehow which they will keep repeating as if it means something, which you have to multiply it by the 3rd world masses.

Also what you said was never even implied.
Kill yourself and learn to read, in that order.
Not that you'd get what that means
lol
>>
>>8004245
This is a funny way of saying you merely enjoy drawing as a personal hobby for is own intrinsic value. I don't know why you think anyone has a problem with that
>>
>>8004328
it filters normies and shitters hard
and those are the creatures i least want to hang out with
>>
>>8004136
you need a stable life in order to draw. There's no book that will tell you that. THey all assume you have a loving family and a good job and a safe society to practice in and contribute to during the day.
>>
maybe you're all just gay and retarded. ever think of that?
>>
>>8004325
tl;dr

>>8004245

I bet 100$ you couldn't do a 15 page comic even if your life depended on it. You'd burn out and look for excuses after the first 3 panels or sooner.
