You're not an artist m8.

I just get severely depressed and don't feel like doing anything. I'll even go without eating for a few days. Please keep bashing me, I need motivation for something.

>>2657494
CBT and possibly meds. Go seek a professional

>>2657471
Motivation is a fickle little motherfucker. It goes up and down and constantly fluctuates. Its unreliable and is a shit way of keeping long term goals. Beating yourself up every time you feel uninspired
will accomplish nothing. At best on some days you'll just make yourself feel like shit and maybe do some work. What you need is discipline, rather than motivation.

I went through the exact same thing when I was younger. Years wasted. I'm 21 now and I regret losing those years I could have spent getting better. I probably would have contracts by now.

Need to work on self discipline, OP

the fuck you mean man, those are all memes.

We're not really "artists", "artists" go to colleges to smoke weed and express their emotions by smearing feces on canvases to criticize capitalism or some stupid shit.
We're draftsmen, we study the craft passed on by the old masters to preserve the tradition of true artistic quality.
You don't need motivation or some other retarded fairy that comes and goes whenever it pleases. Fuck that. You don't need that to practice perspective or line quality, to draw boxes and cylinders or to do master studies.
While others rely on motivation, practice discipline and the world will be yours.

Or fuck off to tumblr, the choice is yours.

Creativity =/= skill

You possibly cannot be this retarded.

>>2657608
I'm not very smart nor skilled, but I'm pretty sure I never said creativity = skill.

>>2657471

Have you tried taking Brain Force?

>>2657626
How much of that will I need to OD?

>>2657630

2 capsules daily

I think the key is to do it anyway. Feel like you have absolutely nothing going on inside? Do it anyway. Feel like your brain is in a fog? Do it anyway. After about an hour of focused practice it will go away and you end up being pretty glad you did it.

It's hard to keep up sure, I still have weeks where I only draw 2-3 days but I feel less shitty about it since it seems like I'm working on a core issue in my personality. The past 3 years I had MONTHS at a time where I didn't draw a thing and regret it bad. That shit adds up, OP. Nip it in the bud now.

When exactly did you give up on life, friend?

>>2657564
>CBT
How is Cock/Ball Torture going to help?

>>2657702
Is this supposed to be a joke or something?

>>2657993
That wasn't from OP so yes, its a joke.

>>2658095
Oh, okay. I was just checking. I just couldn't tell whether it was a joke or not on account of it not being funny in the slightest.

I'm not sure if Matisse ever actually said it, but:

"Don't wait for inspiration, it comes naturally while one is working."
