Does anyone feel like once you reach a phase of "flow",

Analyze the ways your being lazy and force yourself to not repeat those same bad habits.This is the only way

This is why people say to flip your canvas. Make a hotkey, OP.

Even if I flip my canvas it feels like I lose the ability to percept mistakes the longer I keep going.

How do you guys manage to go 10 hours a day like this.

Oh fuck yes... I'm not the only one

Definetely man. I do all my best work/study first thing in the morning and then my focus slowly deteriorates throughout the day. I tried spending less time on net and just reading a book or something if I want to take a break just to keep my mind active

Take breaks, get up and away from the computer, dont think about the image you're working on atm so that you can have a fresh look at it again after 30 mins. Sometimes I deliberately look at other images, browse artstation so that I can ban it away from my inner eye.

Adderall is a hell of a drug

I've found that when I take Adderall I'm really into drawing for awhile but then I start posting shit online and spend half an hour coming up with hashtags. Then I become really sociable for maybe a few hours, which is not ordinary for me, but suddenly become really disinterested in conversation at some point and I try to initiate sex with my girlfriend only to find that every ounce of blood in my body has been dedicated to providing a constant stream of dopamine to my brain and none is left for my penis. Then I crash and regret the whole day, but that's just my experience.

No, it's the opposite. In the extremely unlikely event that I get into a "flow" state, everything just falls into place. I can see in and feel in three dimensions, and the mental image almost appears on paper so I can just trace the imaginary lines. However, I only get into this state a few times a years, and I have no idea how to replicate it.

Most of the time, drawing is just a painful grind. I can't muster any emotion or energy, and I just draw, correct and redraw over and over until give up. I simply lack the ability to see or feel on any level.
