added comment inthis will be a cry for help // advice because i have no idea what i am doing wrong.
Hi Morphex, I know the feeling and want you to know that it is part of everyone's (or at least most people) journey.
This is the point where most people give up and never realise their potential. Don't give up! You can find comfort in the fact that these moments are the most challenging one's you will face on the journey so if you don't give up you WILL succeed :)
What is probably happening is that your ego is identifying with the end result. A drawing that doesn't look right feels like a failure. It's crucial that you stop doing that. The quality of your work is not in your control! You are a beginner so it can't turn out the way you want it to.
Instead you should focus on creating a routine for yourself and derive your feelings of accomplishment from practicing it.
I personally draw every day immediately when I wake up for 15 - 45 mins. If I sat down and did the work I am happy. I try not to care too much about the result. It will get better over time, you just have to trust the process!!
I have quit before, just like you might at this point, because I had not properly aligned my goals like this.
Hope you find a way to realign your expectations and create a routine :)
Good luck fellow artist, you can do it!
