A message really to myself, let's be real. As always when I'm stressed or anxious, I share it with you in a video haha! I hope you guys liked this, related to it, found it a bit helpful - it forced me to draw something anyway! Executive disfunction and creative block can really knock you out, but I'm pushing myself back in :)

SAAAAAAAME!!!😂

aaaaaaAAAAAAAA
School has destroyed my passion for art. I don't even feel like moving or picking up a pencil anymore. Its werid that this video was here and I found it...
I feel you ... I was so pressured by my grades and stuff that I became uninterested in things and one of them was drawing. It’s been 2 years I think since I stopped, now I’m back to square one. 😂😭
@@maryjl2337 how’s it going?
@@maryjl2337 I feel you so hard. I stopped drawing for over a year after I finished school. I finally was able to doodle in my sketch book yesterday!
@@Vera-ql5jp Well I draw a little bit more now but irregularly, so I didn’t really improve my skills. I just try to enjoy when I draw :)
@@siktr1ks School really stresses us haha.. Btw that’s nice to hear that you started drawing again !! Let’s not give up art ! x)
The music at the beginning is very accurate to what it’s trying to portray.
THANK YOU its like my favourite part lmao
@@HulloAlice mine too
I just recently started drawing again after months. Stay strong everyone, it’s never too late to start again ❤️
Uff, ok...
Same 🙂
Thank you. I really needed this!🧡
I'm still stuck in my phase of not drawing. I mean I've doodled on work papers and such but never a full drawing. I haven't even been inspired to draw anything! This is the worst and it's making me question if art is my passion.
@@Zanyzane same
The last time I sketched was 3 years ago. Been avoiding art due to constant work pressure and health issues. I'm gonna start today. Enough is enough. Thanks for the extra push.
Hope you found your rhythm again!✨
Hope you kept drawing! If not start with a line today :)
Reading this makes me feel less alone, when people talk about their burn out they talk about days, weeks or months but hardly stretches of years. Thank you for making me feel less alone in that regard
It's been three years, how did it go?
the day i started focussing on my grades is the day my artistic interest died. i still genuinely want to draw and every few weeks i do a ink sketch or whatever. but during summer i would crank out one or two fully colored artworks a day and i fucking loved it and it hurts that i cant do that anymore because i need to pass my classes.
Dude, same. My grades are so friggin annoying at this point. The more i focused on school the little my grades went up and the more I focus on art the more my grades drop. I want to pass my classes but it feels really depressing that I can't draw anymore because I felt like that if i were to draw I was wasting time and that i should be doing homework instead. I haven't drawn in 2 months and I feel absolutely empty. At the same time I'm lacking any energy to do anything anymore and I feel like everything is just crumbling down on me.
Impeccable timing. It's like you were reading my mind. Trying to find time is my biggest issue. But yea...been avoiding it for a while. Nice little skit at the beginning.
I also have a difficult time finding time with 3 little boys 5 and under 😭
I was going to say the same thing! Haven't gotten back to art since the holiday break. Amazing timing for this video!
When Quarantine hit I said "Im going to start doing art again" and I spent it playing video games... :(
I feel called out..... lol
i'm not avoiding art, i'm just burnt out from the same things i experience; getting ideas, failing to put your head's image into canvas, and end up not doing it.
i tried drawing with a less tired brain and actually feed myself healthier, but i'm stuck in a rut right now
Try thinking about what you wanna put on the canvas and not how. It helps a lot. For example instead of trying to imagine how the end result should be, try to figure out what's the message or the elements that should be there. If at the end of the drawing you can recognize everything you tried to achieve in it, than you are good to go! Everything else gets through time.
This is huge. I haven’t been drawing or painting as much lately, for like a year it seems, and I just feel like my skills have deteriorated. Whenever I do draw I default to doing simple stylized skulls and random faces. And like they’re still much better than my drawings from 3 years ago, but I know that I can do better because I’ve done better. Back when I was doing figure drawing for 6 hours a week and when I tried to do the sketchbook slam challenge, I was drawing for at least an hour each day and I could see the growth in front of me. I just so easily lose the motivation.
I feel this!! I used to stay up every night after school and do art for hours. when I graduated and got married and moved out and started college my anxiety and depression whooped my ass and school stressed me out so i stopped practicing. My husband has been trying really hard to get me back into it and it took him months but he finally got me back into it after not doing it for almost a whole year and it actually inspired me to want to be an elementary art teacher instead of the “boring” career path i was on that had caused me to stress out and stop drawing in the first place. I’ve been working on a series of cute gnomes as they remind me of my grandpa and drawing cute fun things always used to keep me on track. Hoping this streak of inspiration lasts me for a while! 🥺💖

Loved the intro! The part about not being able to look at other people's art because it makes you feel guilty/jealous really hit home haha. That's so me... Welcome back! Hope you've managed to get out of your funk, and if not, sending some good artsy vibes your way!
I need this☹. [WARNING: LONG POST] I dont know what to do. Art school didnt matter to me but I am majoring in art. And I feel like Ive just been ignoring my own practice for the longest time. Idk what to do. Like how can someone dream of something that they can also ignore? 😔How can one be good at art if they arent dedicated? Im not even impressively good in art but I am only creatively gifted I can never work in a cubicle or in an office.😔And the creative things Im good in such as dance, art, playing instruments and writing. Not saying becoming a doctor isnt competitive but the income for the arts is so difficult if you dont appeal to others because of its competitiveness. And it so happens to be the only things Im good at but because of my depression, lack of attention and love for the things I normally do like art...it worries me about my future. Not saying that my neglection towards art isnt my fault at all. But theres always the question what if im not good enough? What if i dont make it? And what if I wasted my time in these things that will never grant me anything? 😭😭😭
I SO understand where you're coming from because I have thought all those things myself recently. How can I love art so much, be so passionate about it, want to fight for it to become my full time job, want to go freelance, yet... not be able to get out of bed and start drawing? not even be able to LOOK at art because it makes me feel so guilty? But.. I want to be a fighter. I could choose to give in and stay in bed, and so could you. But I looked at my life and realized, I want to look back and say I fought for what I wanted, even when I was struggling harder than I've ever struggled, even when I'm insecure or scared or don't think i can do it - even if I fail, I want to know that I fought for it.
I think you can fight too :)
@@HulloAlice Thank you. I think I really needed to hear that. It means a lot to me. And youre right. I feel the same, I want to look back at my life and be proud that I fought for it. In doing so, I won't have to look back and regret not trying to fight for something that I want. Means a lot to me that you gave me advice that not many people gave me. Thank you again😁
Start a channel and go to conventions??
I try to keep the mindset that the making of the art is it's own reward. It shouldn't matter what happens after you finish making art. What's important is that you do it as a means of self-expression, or just do it because you like to do it. But I definitely understand depression, having been battling with it most of my life. It can surely drain your motivation and fill you with apathy.
@@joeblankenship377 Yeah the hardest thing about lack of motivation or the lack of love for the things you normally do love is that Ive found that I havent really been expressing myself through the arts. Ive been making small progresses and trying to slowly find myself again so that I can be happy of the art that I do. What worried me was the fact of how slow it is when life seems to go by so fast. Next thing Ill know 3 and a half years will go by (its not even 4 anymore which is insane) and Ill be left without any more schooling and will have to find a job. I want the arts to be my career and I want to be good at it. I also want to be happy of what I accomplish in it. But I guess that if this is the pace for me, I will have to stick with it until I am ready to evolve.
I've avoided art for about 3 years now, and the longer I stay this way the harder it is to go back.
I SWEAR TO GODS ALICE YOU DIDN'T NEED TO GO THIS HARD ON THIS VIDEO
i love it. i love you. this video was brilliant and honestly, the style is so fitting to your personality!!
THANKYOU DUDE I LOVE YOU doing something like this helped me break the barrier of making videos again in like... a way that felt honest and not disingenuous? And maybe could be something someone else would relate to as well haha
This is a callout 😂 helpful though
it was a callout to myself too lets be real lmaooo
Omggggg! You are my soul sister!! I have literally been afraid to pick up a pencil or a brush since inktober ended and it's getting worse!! This video couldn't have come at a better time!!!!!! ❤🙏 THANK YOU!
Yep, second watch and am fully convinced this is just secret footage of me. 😂 I love this, Alice. YOU DID THE THING!! 🎉🎉 I read your tweets today and was so sad to see you being all stressed out. But putting this short video really shows how dedicated you are to doing all the things. And that is definitely something I admire you for. ❤❤ 🤗
This is so motivating! (Longest comment of my life, SORRY!) I've been dealing with depression, basically my whole life and I let art and any creativity slip away years ago. It honestly feels like a big hole. When I wanted to start drawing again, it was years, and I felt like now I was bad at it and I'm older and all these young people are better, I'm just not talented etc. Watching your channel has really helped be an inspiration. But I'm still avoiding doing the art! So thank you, thank you so much for this video!
I got really into drawing in middle school and finally felt like I could actually do art. It brought me do much joy but I completely lost all of it after freshman year. Idk what changed, but now when I draw I just feel stupid and I don't enjoy it. I'm usually too scared to even try
These days I'm so busy in my personal life , the only time rest that I have is at night but I become so tired and I can't draw I keep avoiding it
I have absolutely got to stop avoiding my artwork. All throughout highschool I really got into drawing and doing tattoo designs. I had planned on getting an apprenticeship and even had one all set up. However, of course, things didn't really go as planned. When I couldn't go do my apprenticeship I was so anticipated for I just stopped. I got into the workforce, smoking, drinking and partying. Now here I am 4 years later wishing I had just never stopped. I know I must tattoo in the deepest trenches of my soul, it made me genuinely happy. Thanks for your video
My only fear is to put myself out there. Knowing that there are already people with great art styles and can post daily. I dont really know what it's like for them, but for me I'm just trying to push past fear of rejection or doubt for what I've done and find a balance. But I hope y'all get what I mean by that. Whenever I look at other artists work, I don't really get inspiration, just negative emotions about me. I really want to believe I can be apart of the artists world and hopefully get a job doing it. Nothing is original anymore which I have been accepting. But damn, I can't stop thinking about these ideas in my head and want to create them. It's just so hard whenever it feels like you're inevitably not gonna get what you want. Recognition or a job. I'm 22 and I have been doing art for almost 8 years. I guess I still got a way to go. Art is a never ending journey, but I really want to get where I want and find a balance on this never ending road. Till I die.
Finally I know it’s not just me doing all those things 😭
I have been putting off drawing for my lack of ability to color or to get past the sketch phase, this actually really helped me. Thank you✨
I dont normally comment as I'm not a big public speaker but this one hit home with me and I need to thank you. I too am struggling to find the will to get creative and get back into my art. Everything seems to stop me, from tiredness,depression,anxiety,time... right through to life itself getting in the way. Even myself just making any excuse NOT to just pick up a pencil,paintbrush or any other art or craft supply. I needed this upload, like many others here just to know we are not alone and to be given a boost/kick up the butt to just do it! So a long way round of saying thank you, and thank you to all who have opened up in the comments. Very inspiring!
When I was working for my main job(as an artist) doing Art for myself was just so HARD! I found that if I just drew ANYTHING I could hate it even toss it in the trash! but it started my process and I was on track to get going for myself once again. I am hoping that you are on track with your own “art life” and your enjoying yourself once again 😃 Have a lovely day!
This video is so so so helpful. I just hate myself from how much better my friends are at drawing. I try to draw but then I just hate it. I hate it and I stop drawing for weeks on end. Then when I draw again, I feel guilty for not drawing. I've been wanting to get over my depression and especially me comparing myself to others that's a huge problem but you said things really well and honestly I think I'm gonna draw now. I'm also gonna tell my friend about how I feel. She draws every single day. She can do things so much easier than me. Why is her art so good. My art sucks. Nope nope I'm not gonna think that anymore. SHUT UP BRAIN. SHUT UP SHUT UP. SHUT UPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!! Its gonna be so hard but I need to try because feeling miserable isn't gonna get me anywhere. Remember ppl, no matter what point your at in your life, you are not failing. Be honest with yourself. Take a breath. The situation you're in won't last forever. You know that saying, things do get better? I think it's stupid. Because it's implying that things just change after you get out of a shit situation. No, those feelings will linger there. I say, things CAN get better as long as you start somewhere. Sure, maybe your room is a mess, maybe your parents just died, maybe your house is falling apart, or maybe all your friends just left you, but that does not mean you will never get better. You CAN get better. You just need to start somewhere. Maybe clean your floor, maybe find someone that you feel comfortable talking to, maybe take a hammer and start fixing your house, maybe find new friends. Your life can get better. Start somewhere. Start anywhere. Wake up and eat. If you can't eat, drink water. Your habits are just that. Habits. They can be conquered no matter how hard it ends up being
10 years I stopped because when I finally started to go to animation school, mix work with passion, destroyed all my art.
Still today its very hard for me to draw, it's not so beautiful like before and depression with problem of concentration make it hard for draw again. I hope one day i can put myself into again
I needed this so much. I’ve been in a creative slump since Christmas. I was exactly like the video. I didn’t want to look at Instagram because I knew that I was neglecting my own feed. I know that these thoughts, of not being good enough, are toxic, but sometimes they just come. Thank you so much for sharing something that is just so real ❤️❤️❤️
Love the trombone at the beginning haha ^_^
I have gone through this process several times now and it doesn't really get easier... I've gone days, weeks and months without creating and drawing but trust me when I say that each time I get my s*it together and finally draw something the feeling is incredible ❤️
Not recommended to draw an eye and start from there? But..... I do that all the time!
I do too. Now I want to know why it’s not recommended, and what IS recommended....
@@cobaltclam I'm guessing maybe you start with the outline of the head? If I'm drawing from reference, I need to draw the eyes first because I can use them to inform the proportions on the rest of the face/head.
Joe Blankenship Hmmm... Maybe so.
@@joeblankenship377 oh no 😅
Really the kind of video that speaks directly to the target audience in a way they can't even avoid lol, thanks for sharing this.
For me I feel like my environment plays a big role. There are times when I manage to get back into the groove somewhat, get a sketchbook and actually make progress, then things change and I feel like when I'm not in an ideal mood I can't really get into it (as a hobbyist)
One of the few things that sometimes works is really getting that intense inspiration (like a series/movie/book you love that you really wanna express in your art), but that's also a battle lol, either you don't draw and you have this persistent knot in your head that needs to be output before you can handle much more input, or you finally draw and feel some relief
Breaking it down into little steps sounds good. Also having paper to draw on that you don't care about works for me more than I would expect, coz the fear of disrespecting your sketchbook is real lol
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels like this, there are sooooo many amazing artists and looking in social media does make you feel worse. But we are all unique, like raindrops, and we should not compare ourselves with others. Your right to say stop being in your own head, I have lots of ideas, I just need to do it.😊
I was told when I was avoiding art that ended up being 8 years to start with a 21 day plan to do anything in art. When I tried this in the past, first I read art books or just looked at art on RUclips channels. I started out with just 10 minutes a day just focus on doing something on art every day. Then after a week increase to 15 minutes a day. It's told that as you get through 21 days your mind starts to change and you set the wheels in motion. 60 days creates a habit. I did this and after 60 days I noticed I was spending 2 hours on a painting without even struggling . It became easy for me. After we moved into a new apartment things got tough and I stopped doing art. Well I'm setting up to do art again I've been putting things together and I'm excited. I created an art studio in part of my living room, bought art supplies, setting up a plan. Going to video tape doing an abstract painting. Things are going great.
Haha, I spent hours yesterday dealing with first page anxiety. I finally sit down and did something with it, but it took a while. Sometimes that first page just gets to you and you feel like it has to be a masterpiece or something lol.
Hey I'm so glad I watched this video, for a few months I've been avoiding sculpting and drawing. Spending all my free time watching artists create. Your video has given me the kick up the butt I needed, thanx for that.
right at the time i needed it
A whole lot of things have been going on in my life that just ruined the fun of art for me. I've been so stressed and it feels like there's nothing but anxiety, it made it so hard to focus or even think of any ideas that seem worth trying. Even when I did try, I lose motivation or just feel a constant sense of dread.
However, after watching this I feel a bit more heard on the issues I've been trying to solve with my art. It's my escape and comfort, it hurt me so badly to not even finish a "cookie-cutter" flower that I wondered if I should give it up all together. Thank you a lot of the advise, hopefully things would go for the better as I give these little steps a go.
3:36 "you need to allow yourself to make art that you hate"
that hit me like a truck. I always have this mindset of "whatever I start doing, it HAS become a masterpiece at the end, if it ain't like that then it's better to not do anything"
I think I've mentioned in other vids of yours I just started drawing again after 28 years. I find myself so critical if something looks shitty, I've become petrified several times to get back to my table. I neglect to tell myself that I'm not 17 anymore, and my hands aren't as steady as they once were. My 15-year-old, who also loves painting and drawing, told me the other day "why does it matter if it isn't great? You barely let us see it, so it's not like the world will." I started again the next day lol
Oh my god I am totally in drawing slump....perfect timing!
You are not alone. Thank you for sharing your story so all of us could take a look in the mirror. Everything you said was accurate for me right now and it healed my heart a little listening to you.....maybe I'll pick up a paint brush and heal the rest. One day at a time. Sending love from Florida :)
I’m not going to give up on starting my Art business and prioritizing issues in my life! 😊🙏🙏
I thought I was the only one that felt this but your accuracy of you reading my mind is 100%. I’ve been avoiding art for almost a year now and it’s easy to say I’m out of the main supplies I need and can’t get them until quarantine is over, but also I forced my self to set up my art space in my new house a week ago. Soooo I have to do something
I've found that drawing with scribbles helps me. Like drawing a character or thing from fluid, gestural scribbles to vaguely fit the shape. Drawing with 3D shapes sometimes feels stiff and rigid and I second guess what I make. I'd draw like 2 drawings in a day. But with scribbles I drew like 4-5 drawings in one day. I learned this from the book "How to draw comics the marvel way." Some artists who use it include Marc Silvestri, Joe Benitez and some others.
All well and good when you have the talent you do, I've tried for years and I'm getting no further forward. I've officially given up on art, it just isn't happening, it's time to say goodbye to it.
So I used to LOVE drawing but felt that my Drawings will never improve
But now I am coming back with a new start .
This video is amazing and I think every artist needs this at some point, so thank you for making it 🥰
Damn, I feel this. I'm slowly getting back to it though, after a really long break 0.0
Didn't change to much but appreciate the amount of effort put in to the video 😭😂
All you said in the beginning of the video is exactly what i feel. I always thinking of making art but I dont want to do it even though I have complete art materials and I dont know why. I have a feeling im afraid of making mistakes. I dont even want to look at others art in the internet and books. Now I know that im avoiding art. Ill follow your advice. Thanks to you
“Do the thing Zhu Li!!” Also v impressed with the cinematography of this video.
Ummmm thankyou Vickie stone!! I would like to thank my tripod and Derek's camera
I haven't drawn for such a long time and feel like I have forgotten it completely, but this video helps and shows we should take it one step at a time and start drawing and enjoying it.
I know this video is old but i still want to say thank you for this vid popping up i haven't really been into art ever since 2019 cuz of the stress from grades and grinding art work left and right pulling all nighters to get it done even when i try i just get a lil upset knowing my skills isnt where it used to be but ig theres a place to start again
Thanks for this - I'm such a terrible procrastinator! I convince myself spending hours looking a the art of others is proactive, but I definitely use it as an excuse to not do anything of my own.
I feel so attacked but darn it I'm going to make the thing
YES!!! Make the thing!! You got this!
It's like you're speaking directly to me lol OKAY OKAY, I'll go make some art! ☺ (thanks for this)
An art sistah/coworker and I have been talking about this for the past month now. All of my inspiration came from being outdoors and hanging with friends. After a year of not having any of that, thanks to Covid, I am having the hardest time of beginning again. I have no idea when I will actually attempt to draw again, but this video got me thinking. I enjoyed watching and will take your advice soon! 😊
Thanks!
I really started drawing. Instead of trying to find an idea, that won't show up untill midnight. :D
Just let your pen wander! And your creativity will come back!
When I’m having a hard time pushing myself to draw again I find a random RUclips playlist of my genre of music and make art out of what I’m hearing. I shut all my notifications off and leave my phone to play whatever comes next.
Music that I never heard before really took me out of my head and relieved the pressure to make something that I thought other people would like.
It’s helped me to start drawing again and to find some new groovy tunes in adding to my playlist.😅
The skit at the beginning hit me where it hurts!! I needed this! Thank you ❤️
Oh my gosh! I neeeeeded this! thank you HulloAlice!
I needed this! I have been avoiding for months, and I really want to get back to doing!
This was me recently!! Took about three months off! Not intentionally. I definitely che your my favorite artists to get inspiration. I also look at old drawings and try to improve them. Great video!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I so needed this. I had a new project idea but I was insanely scared to do it. Now this gives me a new motivation for everything. Thanks so much!
This video popped up while I've been procrastinating drawing for days. 😅 good timing.
I haven't drawn for three months now and I'm starting again🙂
I have been distracted by a game for this pass few months and i never get time to draw i will always make excuses like "ill do it tomorrow" and "i do it later" but i never do it but today i got the courage to try again.. Thank you for this ❤
“you’ve been avoiding art for a month..” no ive been avoiding it for a year
Really needed this lately.
thank you, this really feels how i been feeling and yea
This video has come at the perfect time. I've been trying to figure out how to stop avoiding this. I like the idea of using old books or printing paper for less pressure to have it be "sketchbook worthy".
I realised that I got all of my art experience from not listening in class, and now because of covid there was no school since 2020 and I havent drawn since 2019.
if you are good enough, drawing is a really wonderful thing 🙌
Loved this video, it was really helpful, and something I really needed to hear.
Im glad I came across this video because I haven't really properly drawn in over a year, I draw here and there but defiantly not like I used to esp. when I was in art school. I almost have art anxiety and my passion kinda dwindled because I didn't have structure and because I kept getting job rejections...… Ill try theses tips. Thank you
Calling me out, are we now?
Exquisitely done.
You’re one of my favorites ever! This was so inspiring both the video and to know that an amazing artist such as yourself goes through the same struggles I do with art! Thank you for making this video lovely ❤️
Me: I want to get better at art so i can make comics for a living
Also me: *sees sketchbook*
Ha nope
Why was the beginning so accurate!!!
This really helped me Alice!!! Thank you!! Loved your cute intro for this :)
I loved the intro. literally been doing this since the end of last semester. it's been way too long. thanks for the tips Alice.
Most relatable post ever! Thanks for the video 😀
My room is too messy to have myself focus on drawing more than 5 minutes. This was helpful.
you don't know how badly I needed this XD thank you!
First reaction ... are you telling my life right now ???? 😱 I want to just cover myself in bed and stay their, feeling I had since a few weeks (since Christmas). So horrible ! I try to put something to my Instagram even when I totally hate it, I made something or did something! Yesterday with blue Monday/birthday it all made it worse for today 😪 so yesssss your video just came in time, I’m going to put some motivation out of it and try to get more focussed on my art again (because it’s the only thing I have left in life to fill my days) THANK YOU for this video !!! 💋💋💋
Thank You I needed this video. I just started drawing and oil painting this past Christmas thanks to family. Well not so much painting. Theres just so many things with oil painting ive been studying up so I dont make a mess when I try.
It's been a few years but today is the day.
School really pushed me away from enjoying, wanting to draw more or improving my art. Most of my work is graphic design or writing long essays for other classes, I just feel awful knowing I have a lot of time and still didn’t pick up my pencil
I’ve got a little bit different problem. When I finished my school I stopped drawing bcs of last 2 years in there with teacher who was pushing me into things I don’t like. Now it’s around 3 years I’ve lost the passion. I always ran for hyperrealism, portraits and stuff looking actually like photos. Now I’m looking on myself, that I would like to try again bcs it’s such a waste of talent…. So I went for it today again, and after first sketch before blending shadows I found out a big problem, that feels like my hands forgot how to do it. Imagine you’re doing something for years without thinking, like a meditation when you don’t remember x hours of the process but somehow it’s done and now you have even a problem to start shadowing and when you do, you screw up the paper so you can throw it in a trash. Made me really sad and no clue what now when I can’t learn it again from bottom when I know it’s somewhere inside and it’s killing me there bcs the passion for it is back but brain don’t know what to do. I’m actually lost.
My parents made me quit art to the point I lost my passion and pretty much end up being a sad and envious in other people that I knew still kept going
I was really scared of picking up art again and I just kept on downgrading the more I avoided it. I plan on taking it up again since I don't have school anymore, drawing is still scary and it's still annoying when I flip the canvas because the figure ends up all tilted and unproportional but aside from that drawing isn't as bad as I thought and it was fun creating weird figures straight from my head.
Thanks for posting this film.
Thank you its been like 20 years since I last really drew. Just do it, no fear.
I needed this video. Thank you.
I'm still having trouble one the: don't put too much pressure on yourself part. I know I used to draw better, but now I can't draw better, and I'm a big critic on my own art
Me: *Draws for a little bit*
Also me: *That's 1 minute see you tomorrow*
This is exactly what I needed!!! Thank you ❤️❤️
