You are not undisciplined. Drawing IS more boring than doomscrolling. Forcing yourself to draw WILL make you hate it! Instead manipulate the environment around you so that your sketchbook is the most fun thing is the room. Then you will either die from boredom or pick it up.

The 3 ellipse and cylinder mistakes I see (and do) most often

The minor axis of an ellipse divides it in half and also is the center line of any cylinder. Use it as a guide

From the front and side a cylinder looks flat, I always draw it slightly tilted so the figure feels 3d

"I'll draw more once I have more time" is a lie. I tracked every drawing session for a year. A month with daily classes: 58h My emptiest month: 59h A lack of free time isn't your problem, a lack of a good project is.

How I made my drawing habit addictive: 1. Find a habit you already can't skip, even a bad one. 2. Ask yourself why you can't skip it. 3. Do the same thing in your drawing routine. I track every gym session to watch numbers go up, so I started doing the same for drawing hours.

Giving advice without showing doesn’t work. I started on here by posting advice that I’ve heard others say. No one cared. Then I started posting studies, showing myself applying the advice. Now they care. If you want to teach something, SHOW it.

There are two reasons you can't get yourself to draw: 1. It's too easy (boring) 2. It's too hard (frustrating) If it’s boring, draw something challenging. If it’s frustrating, draw something just outside your comfort zone. Push it too far either way and you burn out.

How I do anatomy studies: 1. Pick one area you struggle with. 2. Gather more references than you think you need. 3. Try copying them, but without tracing. 4. Then try from memory or a different angle. That’s how learning actually works. I wish someone told me that years ago.

Your algorithm shapes your interests, your interests shape your actions. So curate the algorithm, make sure you always have great art in your feed. Get used to pressing the “Not interested” button. Make sure you follow great artists. You become what you doomscroll.

There are two types of pain: 1. Sitting down and drawing hands until you get better at them 2. Realizing that you haven’t improved in 3 years Every excuse avoids the first one, but all of them guarantee the second. Pick your pain. One way or another, you're going to feel it.

I made a sketch I loved → it got 186 likes → I felt like failure Now before I start, I ask: "Who is this for?": 1. Followers - does it help them? 2. Clients - does it show my skill? 3. Me - was it fun to make? If it's meant just for you, don't measure it with engagement.
