gotta keep grinding at it !!
i can def say i draw some things faster/better than i did a few years ago
I know what part of my problem is. I have this bad habit of *needing* to finish an art piece all in one go. Like the sketch, lineart, coloring, shading all in one sitting. I KNOW if I save it, and like attempt to pick it up the next day, I won't. Like something mentally keeps me from opening it back up to keep working on. I have sketches of things I never went back to because when I boot up ye old drawing tablet, I start a new image in SAI and completely forget the other stuff. If I had more time, and a better ability with anatomy and poses and dynamics, I feel like I could make better stuff.
I feel like I'm not really *meant* to draw. Like some people are born with good voices and can sing without a lesson. I've taken so many art classes in college and while it helped a lot, I don't think I've really improved much. I know it's a process to learn and get better by doing more, but I get discourage very easily and if I'm not in a drawing mood I don't even bother because I know I'll just poop out crap.

『@crystalkitsune85:
On the topic of art - have you tried switching to mediums that have you doing significantly different art than what you would do digitally? I got really really badly art-blocked on digital art around when I was in my last year/graduating college. Couldn’t do it. I tried on a few ocassions but didn’t get much done. But I’d picked up calligraphy in the last couple of years so I worked on practicing that and I ended up getting into doing loose watercolor florals for a while too.
Turns out, without realizing it both of those mediums - which aren’t terribly forgiving the first time around but are relatively quick enough to get to the final product that you can always ‘re-do’ - had taught me to live with the first line I’d put down - whether it was exactly what I wanted or not. So that when I finally jumped back into digital art I’m a lot quicker and a lot less concious about every single line I put down.
Anyway my point is, It could be worth it for you to try to get into something really different for the change of pace which is good for art-block (like not wanting to bother because it could just be crap) and because you could learn techniques/modes of working that will translate to your digital art when you decide to go back to it.
