He /ic/ I usually don't post here very often although I do lurk alot, I've recently began working and as of late I don't seem to have the drive to draw. Its not that I'm not lacking motivation or anything of the sort, I'm still very observant and study visually to build my visual library. I still look at art and collect reference and all that jazz. However, it seems like I just have an issue getting the pencil to the paper or the stylus to the tablet. This is strange to me because literally the day before my first day of work I was fine. Drawing/painting for 5+ hours a day, feeling great and all. But even after getting my brake from work(work part time) I didn't really sit down and focus up like I usually do, I just couldn't dedicate my brain to it. My body and everything just felt awkward, maybe it is just a change in my mindset, but when I tried to force it, I can only go for like 30 minutes before I lolly gag for like an hour or so. Usually it would be like the inverse, stay focus for like an hour and half and enter a 30 min rabbit hole, and then I'd snap out of it.
Does anybody have any clue what could actually be happening, I don't like not practicing and studying.

pretty sure we all get that every so often, maybe just start doing something new. you're doing a lot of figures so maybe try perspective/form (scott robertsons book is great) or machinery/mechs, environments etc.
i went through the exact same thing last year when i was only doing figures. i decided to stop and focus on other things for a few weeks and somehow my figures got a lot better after that 'break'. now i try and vary what i'm doing through the day. i know a lot of people on here say you should only do one subject at a time, but i've found working on 2 or 3 subjects through the day is enough to keep me consistently interested. e.g. i'll spend 2 hours on perspective, 2 hours on figures, then 2 hours on painting, and because every time i switch subjects it's fresh, it's a lot easier for me to be 'learning' rather than just doing mindless drawing

ah that seems interesting, I've played around a bit, but I definitely not enough to say that I haven't been focusing on mostly figures understanding the plane changes of the face. I did some fish studies though, I got inspired by the mr.jack goldfish painting, shit is cash af.
My execution needs a shot ton more work though.
do you think having a schedule would be beneficial?

Changes in routine will fuck with you.
I actually had a reasonably steady habit going when I was working full time, then my contract ended and I had more free time and my productivity floored. I'm just now getting my bearings and starting to fix up a new routine.
You just need to reorganize your day when it changes and create a new routine to work with, you'll get back into the feel of things.

Your rendering and values here are fine, the forms are visible, but you seriously need to spend longer on your underdrawing. Those heads are wonky as shit assuming you were trying to replicate the reference.

Ah okay, I'll take this into consideration.
Also I think for the first one(did these maybe a month ago) I can't remember if I was focusing on my lines during the lay in, but I know for the second one I wasn't. Thanks m8
