>>239705886I’m mostly out of debt, working an extremely boring remote job while living with my family. Definitely not ideal for a man nearly 30, but at least I’m fed, sheltered, and earning a living. Thanks for the concern and well wishes.
As far as drawing, the hardest part is getting over anxiety and self-deprecation. I am not just my worst critic, I’m mentally brutal to myself and I have trouble being able to say “you did okay with this.”
I think it stems from being around amazing artists online and always seeing such great work. It instantly kills any confidence in me because I’m nowhere near the talents of everyone else, and I mentally berate myself for not being “good enough.”
I’m still working on that, but it prevents me from drawing as much as I should. None of the tutorials, lessons, and guides I find seem to help me though.
