I draw consciously since 2005.
I learn French and Japanese since December 2015.
Currently I am already able to have basic conversations in both languages.
But my drawing ability is a joke.
The key? I do daily language studies in a linear fashion.
I need a program. /ic/. I need to be told what to do everyday, until I start to like it.
I need easy-to-munch tasks, in order to grind my skill. No matter how long it takes, as long as the daily portions are small enough to handle.
Can we discuss about creating a study program or something of the sort? Have any of you ever set clear-cut daily goals and stuck to it?

This is my schedule right now.
If youre only doing easy bite-sized tasks then you will barely improve unless you are a beginner.
>>2496555
Worse than a beginner, I'm a seasoned neverachiever, full of vices in need to be broken down and rebuilt.
And even if bite-sized doesn't provide everything I need, it certainly does more than 10 years of random energy spikes.

This is the best tip i can give you
You need to stop relying on motivation.
Motivation is a cheap plastic korean knockoff of discipline that will break after 10 minutes of playing with it.
If you don't have the discipline to force yourself to practice then you don't really deserve to get good. If you're searching for structure, might i recommend reading the sticky?

Also, this is not worse than beginner level, this is beginner. Go post in the beginner thread, many anons will give you advice on how to proceed

Woah,
I have about 2 free hours a day, would it be better to make shorter exercises or distribute them along the week?

>You need to stop relying on motivation.
Oh, I do understand that. That's why I need a way to take consistent steps.
I'm capable of keeping a routine (been studying languages without fail for the last 5 months), but I must have it as predictable as possible, else it starts to derail pretty quickly.
Frankly, I'm not interested in the feedback threads, although I'll keep them in mind if I need specific advice on topics.

exactly, people start liking to do what they are good at, so lets say you would like to draw, you have some motivation, but you are terrible, you will lose your motivation after few days, because you are bad and need to study basic shit that is boring, but if you keep studying over time you become kinda good, and start enjoying drawing thinking you love it and you have your motivation back. People observed it in sports as young players are kinda annoyed want to quit football basketball, but then they sudenly start loving it.. for no apparent reason but just because they are playing good..

FUCK MAN, you motivated me so good. You deverse a beer.

If you have the money you could take a class at Vilppu academy. The classes are structured the same as in real-life schools.
>>2496615
also visit /ic/ everyday, when i dont draw i kinda feel guilty and avoid going to ic, but if you worse yourself to comehere, checkout differnt threads, try to critique people, you will kinda force yourself to pick up the pen and study/draw yourself.
ic people are extremely hard on critique, but if you are professional artist, they are probably right most of the time (at least halfway).

>if you are not pro artist
I draw whatever I want as often as I can.
If I notice myself settling into something, some style or angle or subject matter for instance, I draw something else. If I suck at drawing it I look up ref and draw till I can draw it at will.
May not be the most effective but I still improve at a decent rate and I never burn out.

Include a few minutes of physical warm-up and the metacarpal problem is solved.
