Sometimes I wonder why I draw.
I don't know why I just keep making pretty pictures.
I'm so lost.
I don't know what I want to do anymore.
There was never an objective in my brain aside from learning how to draw people, and I've come to see it doesn't take much to "master" that to a point of sufficiency.
I thought I could start animating after I learned how to draw, but I've come to discover that it takes an obscene amount of time. Time I don't have.
Does anybody else ever feel this way?

Maybe find another hobby to do alongside drawing. You seem like you're suffering from creative exhaustion or something.

your approach is flawed from the get go, i wouldn't want to draw either if all i did was boxes, form, and perspective. enjoy yourself OP, draw anything and everything. all that other shit comes together naturally over time and with practice.

>given up
There's your problem m8, also bet your drawings are shite, post ur art
If you're bored with art maybe try changing up the subjects, theres so much shit to learn people spend lifetime master in it, if you dont see fun in learning new shit and getting better idk.
change ur attitude for the start

also don't feel pressured to do anything or be anything, when you finish a picture id suggest you admire it and look out for things you can do better next time
>I thought I could start animating after I learned how to draw
Learn both at the same time. You should always be studying your main goal alongside with your general studies, it makes no sense to do one and then the other. You don't need to know all the ins and outs of drawing to animate. Many very good artists can't animate for shit and many shit artists make awesome stick men animations. One does not equal the other. Keep your eye on your goal.

>One does not equal the other
This is incorrect when it comes to animation.

Your animation improves as your drawing skill improves, but I don't see why you shouldn't try learning both. No one said the shit you make has to be good when you start. There's so much to learn with animation, you aren't just jumping straight into it the hard shit right off the bat. There's a degree of storytelling and stage setting involved, and by attempting, you better learn the kinds of things you should be learning when grinding your art skills.
If you will not learn both, then at which point will you decide that you are "good enough" to animate? Where is your cut off limit before you begin? And will you remain motivated that entire time?
Why don't you just try having some fun with art? Forget a little bit about learning fundamentals, studying or doing any other thing recomended on this site, just grab a pen and draw whatever you want and whiout thinkin on the result or in the others opinion. The other things will become eventually once you find fun with your art.
Just draw whatever random shit your mind wants to see. This for a second then draw it. Right now Im finishing up a drawing of a horse with its head being pulled back by a string of psychic energy from some guy kneeling on the ground wearing some outfit I think I got from listening to a podcast about egypt where they talked about joseph and his coat of many colors or something
Fuck if I know whats going on but I am having fun. When I draw for myself I always draw weird shit like this. So often I find my subconscious have a say in what gets drawn.
I feel you op.
felt this way for a year. I had finally improved my anatomy and i felt more capable of drawing people but by the time that was all done i got sick of it. "why did i bother?"
I just didn't want to draw anymore even though it was always dreamy to git gud and animate some cool scene i just couldn't.
But then i started writing. There was no worries about how good something looks because it was a block of text. After writing i got back into drawing because i had a substance to work from.
>Give myself permission to draw the most self indulgent pandering obvious self lenient degenerate anime porn that caters to every single one of my fetishes.
>Get no ideas.
>Everything is crap.
>Back to drawing run of the mill fanart and generic fantasy.

This is true. Op, you don't want to create a hugbox for yourself, but having a little bubble to appreciate and admire your own work is very healthy. You have to be aware of what you're doing right and take satisfaction in that, because that's what gets you motivated to improve it. You see what you did well, but also you see what you can do better and thus you want to get started on your next project.

I feel like everything I try to do had already been done many times by people much more talented than me, I just dont know if its worth doing it anymore
Shit takes time, and doubt will haunt you even after you git gud
