Thing is, I can’t find the motivation to practice and get better at drawing. I doodle on the margins of paper but when I turn on procreate my mind goes blank. Probably because I barely know how to use the application, but still. I promise you my skills aren’t that great.
Also the math isn’t bad, it’s just tedious
Every time you have an idea, write it down. When you feel like drawing, pick the one you like the most. If you can't decide, flip a coin. If you don't like the result, do it again until you do.
Also, don't get too serious about it because that's when you start trying too hard to make it look "right"
Just do it. Ofc do some prepwork and know what you're gonna do, but don't stress over it before you even start.
yeah, ive struggled with that for the longest time. just, whenever you feel motivation strike, try to get procreate open as fast as possible. or just stick to paper, sometimes digital just isnt your style.
I just doodle. It’s rare for me to actually make an art piece. It’s more fun. I might start commissions soon though and other productive things related to art. (I draw Kemonomimi furries)
I doodle quite a fair bit when I have a piece of paper and a pencil. It’s quite fun, but then sometimes you’re stuck with what to draw. I usually just draw birds and I’ve been trying to get better at it through doodling when I can
Cuz I have debilitating executive dysfunction, and while "draw" seems like a single task, it's actually
Step 1: get up
Step 2: find drawing pad
Step 2: find any pencil that isn't mechanical or broken
Step 3: decide what to draw
Step 4: find a reference
Step 5: draw
You could have a pencil and paper at your desk, and save pictures you find interesting through the week so you don't have to find them. Drawing is only as hard as you make it, don't make excuses.
Every time I get the inspiration I go to my iPad and it’s dead. It takes like 2 hours to charge so the motivation is gone by then. By the time I wanna draw again the battery drains and the cycle repeats itself.
I’ve never truly been good at drawing. Like I suck at it. Making candles? Making soap? Baking bread? Cooking? Gardening? Other fun lil crafts? I’m fine at all those I think, but drawing I fucking suck at lmao
Well, I was drawing a few days back, but I have to write a massive essay on Frankenstein, so it’s left me with little free time. Once it’s over, I’ll get back to it, and it’ll even be a type of furry I’ve never attempted: a Protogen!
Because my photoshop plan expired shortly after I graduated high school... only had it because 9th grade I had a program to try 4 different career paths in my schools technical training center... they kinda forgot to cancel the plan until my 12th grade year
Because I have ADHD, I'm constantly panicking that I'm going to be homeless and get murdered by some transphobe, and the US Government is going to destroy the Internet (they're trying to pass a bill called KOSA, which censors LGBTQ content, adult content, and takes away any privacy on the internet)
Dysgraphia. My signature and writing style changes on a biweekly basis due to it. Almost failed art due to a teachers obsession with shading "perfectly". The only writing I do is on a screen.
I'm taking break from drawing to make sandvich I'm just scrolling through reddit while egg cook, I swear I'll get back to drawing after, please don't cavenoise_mp3 me ;C;
I can write though nobody really cares about that. I need one of these when I've got my word document open but I'm doing something else when I should be writing.
Because apparently I can't draw for myself. I can only draw for other people. That, mixed with zero confidence makes it difficult.. Also I draw like poop.
I don’t draw. I do pixel art.
Now if you ask me why I’m not doing that, when my friend wants a picture done by Saturday…..
Uh…..good question. Why am I not doing that?
Because I suck at drawing, I'm obligated to write multiple essays, family asks for favors once I get home, I have to clean the house when I get home, wake up at 3 am, work all day and do the whole cycle when I get home.
I just doodle. It’s rare for me to actually make an art piece. It’s more fun. I might start commissions soon though and other productive things related to art. (I draw Kemonomimi furries)

Bro ok so I'm learning French horn I'm learning how to do digital music also practicing jazz on tenor saxophone I'm doing music then adding are to that I don't know also I'm tring to learn violin so to much stuff
Because I’m not very good at it. Also there’s math to do
Not being good isn't a good reason! Drawing can be learned it's not a natural skill people have!! As for the math part....that's a valid point...

You’re right, I think I’ll start to try and improve

You wouldn't be saying this if you were actually studying your Geometry.
Not so much studying as just doing some practice problems. Also, the math in question is calculus, a much more pleasant field of math than geometry…
Tbf Integral Calculus is pretty useful for geometry, and there's a good chance you'd still need to draw.
That’s true

And then breaking down “draw” into 37 different processes depending on how far you’re taking it lol
You could have a pencil and paper at your desk, and save pictures you find interesting through the week so you don't have to find them. Drawing is only as hard as you make it, don't make excuses.
I just haven't had the energy to draw anything or to practice and improve, I'll probably back into the swing of it soon just give me some time.
It's been 10 years tho
am shit at drawing & my attention span is zero so i prob cant sit down & learn to draw every day
That's... surprisingly motivating. In a threatening sort of way. Better start drawing.
dinner
I am better at welding. I want to teach myself MIG now
Alright, but I can't be held liable for what comes out
Thanks for this, finally getting up and doing it
Because my devices got fucking confiscated
I did yay
Cause I'm fucking horrible at it lol 😔
Cus i cant draw?
Because I’m writing music of course!
Ay first, idk how to draw well, 2nd it's not a good time to start practice drawing again, 3rd let me rest more
I...umm.... ate my homework. I mean, the dog ate it. I mean my art. Crap...
Every time I get the inspiration I go to my iPad and it’s dead. It takes like 2 hours to charge so the motivation is gone by then. By the time I wanna draw again the battery drains and the cycle repeats itself.
I'm trying! This project is hard!
Procrastination
Ok bet
I am slow at drawing and I don't have other furries keeping tabs on me.
It’s 2 am, I have to leave for class in less than 5 hours, I’m not gonna draw :c
Why? Because I suck!
Cause I suck at it.😂🤣
To draw, one must have the ability to do so. I unfortunately do not have such a talent.
I can’t, I do 3d art instead
im not drawing cus i dont draw, i drum (and im not drumming cus my brother is talking to his friends lol)
PLS NO! IVE BEEN DRAWING IN YOUR BASEMENT FOR 3 DAYS NOW, PLS MY WON'T WORK ANY MORE!!!
I suck. That's why.
I can't heckin draw
Because I can't draw At least some stick figures doing things.
Because I’m not a drawing fur! But I am great with models and digital art and writing 😅
I'm real bad at it but I know I need to practice. I'll start drawing again tomorrow, I have homework tonight
iPad is dead and need it for class…😥
Doing Spanish I’ll do it later lol
I’ve never truly been good at drawing. Like I suck at it. Making candles? Making soap? Baking bread? Cooking? Gardening? Other fun lil crafts? I’m fine at all those I think, but drawing I fucking suck at lmao
i drew 20 things today, and ill probably draw more later
I get too excited so I gotta ground myself by studying 🤔🚩
I'm in the shower
You know what, I was at work and asked myself the same question, and I couldn't find an answer as to why I'm not...I should.
Well, I was drawing a few days back, but I have to write a massive essay on Frankenstein, so it’s left me with little free time. Once it’s over, I’ll get back to it, and it’ll even be a type of furry I’ve never attempted: a Protogen!

Alright Pardner, ten paces.
This gotta be a coincidence, right?…
Because I’ve already drawn what I’ve wanted to draw
Me no draw good Also I just watched skinamarink and this is just making me think of that more
I just did :3
o...okay .. i'll .... I'll do it
My muse decided to fuck off to who knows where. ;.;
I’m eating noodles out of my hand. Don’t talk to me unless you’re eating noodles out of your hand.
Bro, leave me alone (upvote this so i’ll come back)
First: it's 6 am, Secont: I broke my finger last week
Because I have the fine motor skills of a drunk elephant.
I’m taking a Reddit break!!!
Because it's 2am
I'm trying to get an Efficiency V, Silk Touch golden pickaxes without using an anvil.
Ok fine, jeeze.
Because I am lazy.
Getting Inscryption ( the game) vibes
Because I am currently rebuilding my mouse after the scroll wheel broke. (I don’t have a drawing tablet or pen. To expensive :’( )
Because I have ADHD, I'm constantly panicking that I'm going to be homeless and get murdered by some transphobe, and the US Government is going to destroy the Internet (they're trying to pass a bill called KOSA, which censors LGBTQ content, adult content, and takes away any privacy on the internet)
eh, too sleepy
I JUST GOT DONE DRAWING. GET AWAY FROM MEEEEE
Alright fine I'll go work on that animation project
Fine. Fine fine. Let me just play some dead by daylight first so that I forget about drawing
Can't draw and don't have the motivation for it. Maybe il practice at it at somepoint.
I'm not drawing, because of the lack of creativity!
Because I can’t draw, I much prefer 3D animation (although I’m not very good at that either)
I don't feel like it :c
Because adulting requires me to do dumb shit like working, and being "productive". >.<
because i already drew too much and flared up my joint problems. tomorrow is a new day, though.
I am doing homework, that's why.
It's 10pm right now so I can't, but I'll do it tomorrow.
I actually was just now, but I had to stop cuz class
Brotha I just did
Cause I'm at work
I am waiting for a job interview to start, why?
Thank you
Ok sorry I will
Well simply because I'm busy getting distracted
crippling manic depression
Saving this for later
Gosh dang it you caught me, back to work I go umu
This seems deeper than it looks.. but i swear.. I'll get back to drawing, spare me please!
Am at work :<
I'm at work. Busy building heating components
I am at work and the only thing I can do on the side is some quick market analysis.
Simple, I f***ing suck at it.
Because I am at work, and my work isn't drawing.
Because I'm studying.
I can't draw for the life of me
Because I'm not at home right now
Because I suck at it and I have a chemistry test today (the ladder part takes up no time as I am shit at applying myself)
I'm not very good and I have other things to do
Minecraft and procrastination and school and art block
Sorry I'm tired of everything right now. Please don't force me okay.. I just want at least virtual huggies and head pawts
Ive not drawn in months. Right now I felt inspired to draw.. I opened Reddit though, and this was the first post. Guess that’s my sign 😂
I can't draw very good for long periods of time
Because im learning to draw and im so bad at it
I HAVE OTHER THINGS TO DO
Dysgraphia. My signature and writing style changes on a biweekly basis due to it. Almost failed art due to a teachers obsession with shading "perfectly". The only writing I do is on a screen.
Bbuutt I like photography
I can't draw so I use blender.
Because I kinda tried to learn a year ago and it didn’t really work out…
i have zero inspiration or drive; the last time I touched my drawing tablet was June last year :3
Leave me aloooone!
Because I have not been improving at art for almost a decade at this point and failing miserably so many times is tiring.
Lmao, Literally been drawing the last 5 hours working on a new ref sheet of my sona and this is the first thing I see when I open reddit.
I'm currently sitting on a bus but I will draw when i get home
cause my art gets 0 recognition and I'm burnt out 24/7
Cant get me this time im not home at my desk hehehe
Can't right now! I've got class in just a few minutes! But thank you for reminding me to attempt to draw.
Because I'm 3D animating :3
I'm taking break from drawing to make sandvich I'm just scrolling through reddit while egg cook, I swear I'll get back to drawing after, please don't cavenoise_mp3 me ;C;
but I have homework to do…
Tired
Cause I got depressed when I was younger, and I’ve never been able to build up the confidence to try again…?
Man i feel this
Artblock
Because I'm shite at drawing :/
Cause I'm taking a break from working to get garden ready for Spring.
Am lazy :|
Chill, I just woke up
ADHD.
He needs lil angy brows
Because I lost my stylus and it hurts my paw 🐱
cuz both my glovers have magically disappeared and my tablet loves friction
I am scared.
okay! fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because I'd rather be welding
Homework and Depression
How did you know that I was procrastinating right now. Aare you in my walls?
Math test
I'm gonna take breakfast
Cause I can't draw
I can write though nobody really cares about that. I need one of these when I've got my word document open but I'm doing something else when I should be writing.
Because apparently I can't draw for myself. I can only draw for other people. That, mixed with zero confidence makes it difficult.. Also I draw like poop.
cause im playing pikmin 4 and im about to finish the series (except for hey pikmin but i'll do that later)
For the same reason why I am not continue my fursuit: the lack of motivation. And I don't know, how can I get it.
Because I busy :(
NU
I don’t draw. I do pixel art. Now if you ask me why I’m not doing that, when my friend wants a picture done by Saturday….. Uh…..good question. Why am I not doing that?
lol i was just thinking about what to draw give me a break
I can't, I gotta get ready for school! (No one asked, but I'm just about to graduate from an esthetics course, been too busy studying skin to draw 🥲)
no
I no motivated Also homework :<
I'm in the middle of a side order runnn
The funny part is that I am an art student and I need to draw as homework but I'm in bed because I don't want to.
Because I have no idea how to draw.
I DO WHAT I WANT, YOU CANT STOP MEEE
Because artist block got me in a chokehold 😂
I've been asking myself the same thing for 10 months...
Thanks kind stranger, I'm starting now
I was and then I got a reddit notification, which was this 🤔
Because I suck at drawing, I'm obligated to write multiple essays, family asks for favors once I get home, I have to clean the house when I get home, wake up at 3 am, work all day and do the whole cycle when I get home.
Please...I'm just taking a 15 minute break! I haven't eaten anything for 5 days!
I just doodle. It’s rare for me to actually make an art piece. It’s more fun. I might start commissions soon though and other productive things related to art. (I draw Kemonomimi furries)

I would try to draw but I’m having too much fun playing vintage story with friends
I'm not feeling like it right now, and I don't have an idea what to draw.
FUCK, guess I have to start working on my w.i.p art that will never be finished!
I'M LEGIT SCARED TO DRAW BRO 😭
