>forced myself to work at least 2 hours per day for the past

Don't break this pattern! I used to be like that too and life circumstances led to me dropping art for awhile and I'm struggling to get myself back into it.

Welcome to the ascension.

could it really be so simple?

Feels good right?
Show work

Caredult here bud
Break the chain for one day and it'll be harder getting back.

I did the exact same thing starting from the first day of this year. Before this I hardly drew at all.
I haven't missed a single day.
I don't really know exactly what happened, but it's like the thought of not drawing at least 2 hours before I go to sleep is akin to death; I can't let it happen under any circumstances no matter how tired or busy I am.

But now I've got a new problem where I can't get myself to draw for much more than 2 hours a day, but I think I might be able to pull the same tactic again if I try hard enough.

its like that antsy feeling you'd get when you're in school and a new game drops that day and you just wanna go home to play it. this shit is magic.

>>3064567
you telling me that if i draw for 2 hours a day, i will in time not only enjoy it but also crave it?

>>3064789
It becomes a compulsion very quickly

I need at least 4 hours every day to not go crazy

>>3064523
The only thing that really has that effect with me is morning walks, but I can attest it is possible.

my skepticism tells me its not that simple. but ill trust you guys and have a go at it. if only i could learn to enjoy drawing again i would improve by leaps and bounds.

nah senpai, i'm loyal, i'm grateful.
after a year of struggling contemplating the complex solution to enjoying making art and improving and the answer being pretty much "just do it lmao".
i gotta tell you mang if the 2 hours a day thing works out for me i'll feel really fucking silly.

I have been doing it for a month by now and it's pretty amazing how "easy" it was to make this an habit, i feel weird if i don't draw more than 3 hours a day by now

inb4 you skipped days
Yeah... i am weak, i feel like shit when i skip days without a decent reason, even if i had a reason i could still pull out 1 or 2 hours but again, i am weak and i am working on it

>>3064831
is this a xa study?

You finally see the gainz and so you don't want to lose all that you've worked hard for, which is what motivates you to do practice at least once a day.

Still, prepare yourself when you hit roadblocks in your progress. There will be times when you just can't seem to improve as much as you want. There will also be times when you will just be burned out. When this happens, just take it easy, enjoy the process of drawing itself even if you're not meeting your goals, just be happy that you are able to draw everyday.

This is how I got started too. It's been a couple years now and I haven't looked back. Don't be afraid to take breaks either, but always make sure to come back. Look at art that you like and look at your best work too to give you renewed motivation.

Post work.

I feel like the biggest barrier to all this is when your level is so low that drawing anything makes you feel dumb afterwards and want to die. The only thing I can paint that doesn't make me feel that way is animals from refrence books.
