Stagnation

Pick a book and go through it until I get bored or find more interesting book.

I try to constantly venture into new territory. For instance, whenever I get tired of doing gestures, I just try to do some anatomy. Even if I'm not good at it yet, it gives me a bit of insight in how it works and it's just something new. Maybe I get bored of drawing still life, I'll just play around a bit with colors. Just try to do a little of everything and teach myself not to be discouraged of something because I'm not good at it.

Progress isn't linear, bruh. You make immediate gains when you learn the basic shit like drawing 3D forms and perspective, then it's a constant swing of flat lining and mass gains after that.

>study heads
>draw something
>hey the head looks nice but the pose looks stiff
>study gesture and fluidity
woooooow fucking impossible rocket science how do they figure it out

Obviously, I do study my weaknesses. I just feel like i'm not internalizing anything.

I did notice immediate gains when I learned 3d forms and gesture. I do agree with you that it's easier to improve initially and it gets harder as your progress but still I see a lot of artists who draw just as much as me, as smart as me and yet improve at amazing speeds while i made snail progress

Too embarassing

Seems like that's my problem as well OP. Most of the information doesn't get internalized - for instance I spent several hours today drawing figures from imagination, and while there's noticeable progress I know when I wake up tomorrow I'll be hardly better than when I began this morning
