How do i keep on drawing,when my doubt and selfhating thoughts starts pouring in, and then i begin to see that everything i drew looks fucking horrible.
I know you have to practice, but i don't see any progress regardless of how much i practice.

Keep your old shit, and load up with patience because drawing is one of the hardest things to do decently in life.

On top of this, you seem extremely hung up on results. You don't draw for results, you draw because the process is enjoyable to you.
Every fuckup is an improvement you can make next time, this is what studies are for. When you fuck something up really try to see what you fucked up and try to fix it.

But really, if you only want to see results and don't appreciate spending 2 hours just losing yourself between lines you're never going to draw well.

And practice, but draw shit you enjoy as well. For example I practice about 2 hours daily but I draw just enjoyable shit for fun (like qt girls, etc) when I don't want to get burned out. If you only and exclusively practice you're not going to find any joy in it.

Ask yourself, what do I want to draw? What is my preferred subject? And draw it for enjoyment when you're bored, just for the sake of having fun.

I generally thought people draw with the result as the main thing.

But thanks for the advice

Now i gotta figure out what the hell i actually enjoy drawing.

You draw both for the process which is enjoyable and for the result. Obviously you care about the result, but in your beginnings you should care more about enjoying the process than getting good results, because you're not going to get good results for at least about a year.

My point is, if you don't enjoy the act of drawing and just want the results you won't draw well because a good drawing takes a long ass time.

failure is also built on the foundation on failures

Practice is of no value if you just keep making the same errors over and over. In fact it can turn "doing it the imperfect way" into a habit.

Are you serious enough to seek out a teacher to judge your work and guide you toward better methods? Take a class
