pic related is more than enough personally, this is something I want and would regret years down the line if I gave up, so Just Keep Practicing.

maybe you are being to hard on yourself

post your work, even if you think it's bad perhaps you could find new places to improve

The product is never going to be the motivator. Especially not your own. That's the way filthy consumers think. You need to fall in love with the feeling that learning gives you. Like they are sisters, and the product is really hot, 10/10 bombshell, but the learning sister is cute and the one who connects with you on a deep emotional level.

Because you are producing dogshit. Once you learn to accept you're fucking ass, you can improve very quickly.

Here's something I was working on from a /beg/ thread a couple weeks ago. It started out okay but as I continued it just got worse and worse, it felt like I was wasting my time to the point I just gave up.

That's good, I need I need to find something quick and easy to work on value though. Value takes so long, and the longer I work on something the worse it looks

It looks like you might be going into the detail level too soon. Use a big brush to block out the values first, then refine it smaller and smaller.

Is it just me or are there a *lot* more complaining about sucking threads than usual this past week or so? Could you lot stop crying, or at least contain the crying to like the questions thread or something? It's getting a little cluttered on this board.

That makes sense, I'll try to remember that. Thanks

Because learning something challenging is all about wrestling with yourself. It's one of the most prominent topics we face every day. The struggle is real and complex.

its painfull being so bad, you want to be good right now but you know it takes time, so you just keep drawing with the thought that you will eventually be good.....

I don't know, I just enjoy drawing so much that I don't care much about sucking, even exercises like lines, boxes, ellipses and circles are fun for me.
Also, please remember two things, in order to get good you must suck in the beginning, you can't just become good, you must practise a lot and slowly get better, sometimes you'll suddenly realize something or understand more, but it's always because of the hard work you've put in. And remember that if you stop drawing, you'll regret it in the future, >>2699686
