Making Time

>>2958710
Don't watch YouTube and Netflix. Problem solved. Cut hours of sleep too.

>>2958710
I draw while videos play as background noise, you can too

>>2958716

I already feel like a zombie most of the day with just 6 hours, I watch TV because I am to tired for even videogame shit, much less drawing. In fact, I am at my job but I have an external USB with a portable web browser.

>>2958722
If you get into the flow, you'll regain energy to draw. If you liked it, you would draw anyways.

>>2958722
Maybe you just THINK you're too tired to draw because you're not used to draw after work. Learn to organize/manage your time properly. This seems to be a discipline issue.

I hate how my drawings look but I dont know why.

What about Monster energy drink? or any energy drink you can recomend? I already bath in cold water also.

Maybe 15 min of cardio?

>>2958730
Probably high standards. If you see really good art and can't produce the same level probably would hate your own.

Caffeine is a bad idea, but cardio isn't. Try it. Habits take a few weeks to build, so don't give up. As long as you try, you're likely to succeed.

>>2958730
NAYRT but the Monster Rehab energy drinks have given me a caffeine rush without the crash. Obviously it's still horrible for you since it's an energy drink, but that's something to consider. They actually taste like things (lemonade, raspberry tea, orange, pink lemonade are the current flavors) instead of ??? like the normal Monsters.

I agree with this. I'd add vitamin water and turmeric mixed into yogurt, in order to oxygenate your body.

I think that at this point only cocaine would help me, like in the wolfo of wallstreet.

>>2958734

Monster Rehab has been recomended me by alcoholic normos, so I guess it has something that sets it appart.

I can draw all day without internet for months. And barely hour with internet. I have addiction to internet communication. Never met interesting person to speak IRL since 2008.

I'm starting to worry about my mental health. I can't even masturbate anymore, for some reason porn has just stopped working for me. All I can bring myself to do when I'm off work is to lay in bed and watch whatever, documentaries, scary stuff, I used to watch cartoons on streamings and talk to people, but nowadays I cant do it because sitting is to tiresome I just want to lay on bed.

I wish I had some Neetbux

>2 hours to commute
If your commute is long you can adopt a polyphasic sleep schedule

here is my schedule pasta from several years ago (27:00 is 3am same day)

Polyphasic sleep schedule

07:30
>Wake up - go to bus stop

08:00
>get on bus - check 4chan to see if people responded to my drawing bait
> bus nap 1.5hrs

10:00
> start work, check 4chan
>avoid work, check 4chan, lunch, write 2 lines of code
>meetings - check 4chan, wish I was drawing, consider quitting

18:00
>get on bus - check 4chan
>1.5hr nap

20:00
>cook dinner, tend to hygiene
>watch movie, check 4chan
>study pix, plan tonight's draw session

23:00
>Start drawing - self crit last nights work
>practice faces, gestures, materials, and whatever sucked from last night
>pick something to ink and color

27:00
>document tonight's draw session - post on 4chan
>Sleep 3-4hrs

Replaced my 23:00-27:00 activities with drawing for the past 3-4yrs. I used to stay up till 29:00, but I heard some anon got epilepsy from sleep deprivation so I dialed it back to 27:00. Otherwise same schedule for over 7 yrs

>>2958835
Did you make it

>>2958835
>27:00
wat

>>2958710
go to bed and get up earlier, draw before work.

>>2958710
>Honest question, how do you find time to draw day to day?
Honestly, the only YouTuber I likes rarely makes videos, I'm only keeping up with 1 show, and I read at times that honestly wouldn't be the best setting for draw. I just don't like a lot of things. It's really just music and drawing.

You're describing textbook depression.

>>2958731
I wouldn't have made it through college or my career without coffee.

>>2958710
You need to change your life. 2 hours in a commute is insanity - move closer to your job, or find a job closer to you. Find a job that isn't a 10 hour shift.

The reality is, you can't learn with a schedule like that. You're probably running a serious case of low level depression from lack of sleep and being chronically tired. It's not healthy.

And don't say "I can't change anything", you're just not aware of all of your options.

>>2958841
he goes to sleep at 3am the next day

>>2958710

>how do you find time to draw day to day?

I don't have to work full time, I take temporal weekend jobs to save to remodel and rent one part of my house to get more easy money.

I'm lucky


Get a better job, fampai

You can do it!

>>2958837
>Did you make it
Making it is not relevant if you draw as a hobby

But I'm happy that I have time to devote to drawing

>>2958878
How do I fix it

Ignoring it works for me

>>2958710
Force yourself and soldier through it. Willpower is like a muscle, the more you use the stronger it becomes.

Just to put things in perspective, the jews in concentration camps were force to work 14 hours daily and they practically lived in a constant state of starvation. Yor body is more capable of working than you think.

>>2958743
I like to mix a little protein powder, turmeric, and ginger with some fruit (usually banana and strawberries) and ice. Sounds gross but it's not bad since it's mostly just fruit you're tasting
