Yes, taking the drawings too seriously. I find myself making excuses why I'm not drawing and what it boils down to is I'm avoiding the disappointment of a failed drawing. To help get past this I have inexpensive simple supplies, easily accessible which helps eliminate the intimidation and laziness factors, and draw a lot! Mess one up? Don't dwell on it. Quickly move on to the next one. It may be great. Thanks for your tips. I like the idea of picking one subject and drawing it for a week.

Wow I really needed this, this just came at the perfect time for me. Over the past year or so I’ve taken drawing and art a lot more seriously, in the first few months of the year I was drawing everyday, overtime though I started to lose focus and became really busy and found it extremely hard to get back into a schedule. I thought once summer came I would have more time to just work on my art but I really just ended up procrastinating more. We definitely put up a lot of unnecessary mental borders and I hate feeling guilty for not working on my art then I start to feel like I’m falling behind my peers or squandering my opportunities at pursing art in the future, but it’s ultimately all in my head, once I sit down and start drawing again that fear goes away and I feel satisfied with myself, more than anything I should remember that I draw and create for myself, anything else is secondary

I know exactly what you're talking about
and I'm grateful that you talked about it.

when you said "why it's so hard for us to draw everyday **as artists** ", I was like "owww god O forgot I am an ARTIST and I'm here to create ". =))))
Thanks for reminding me.

There's basically no way you can draw every day and not get better. I have cerebral palsy, so I always thought I'd never be able to draw at all. Since I started at 39, I've missed maybe 5 days. Now I'm doing identifiable portraits relatively quickly(though speed doesn't matter so much)

Your drawings are lovely and the grey paper really gives the drawing a nice atmosphere.

[Kevin-jcfx]

Thank you for this video. It really is a fight and we have to make time for what matters.

[stever]

As you said, i know exactly what you are talki g about, I have 3 pieces of art that I ha e taken way to seriously, and I have backed off on them for now. So yup, ..know that feeling all to well. Great video, and this has inspired me to set aside 5 minutes a day for my art. 👍👍👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙

[marciabranch]

Thank you, Mr. Schaefer for all your help and advice, it really helps. Have a great day and Happy and safe 4th of July!

Definitely seeing someone else talking about it makes it more comfortable. And also it helps being alerted about it and trying to fix it. Thanks for the tips

[ebklos]

I have a sketch book everywhere I sit- front porch, car, bedroom, backyard, living so when I sit and think about sketching its right next to me

[lixd]

To be honest
Drawing is the best thing to do
It can lead you to success and give you a meaning of your life
Drawing will always be with you no matter what.
But what about animating
lol

[vanialesmana]

Thank you for sharing the way to draw daily.

My biggest struggle was until yesterday, fear and a lack of confidence like I told you previously. Something personal concerning it happened last night so now I'm just struggling with the want to draw

[WeavyBoo]

Sometimes I draw, and I feel the need to, rather than come up with the initial sketch myself, trace the sketch. Ik tracing isn't bad, but if I don't branch out, I feel like I'm hindering growth. I don't want the silhouette to look bad, so I trace it... I didn't used to either, but now I found the feature on procreate, so I feel the need to use it. I fear other ppl looking at it and it not being perfect, even tho I don't have any plans to show anyone my library. It's purely for me.

Any help anyone can provide would be fantastic

[jeroldtaxon]

I do not draw every day but I do paint with oils every day I should draw more often though which would make my paintings easier to to start.
