Where do I start? Since I was a child, I have wanted to learn it but got scared thinking, what if after learning my drawings weren't up to my standard and all of that time learning went to waste? I really want to learn drawing in this life.

Fear of failure is just ego getting in the way. Trying and failing is always more noble than realizing you might fail and never even giving it a shot.

I wasted 3 years living with that fear, consuming tutorials/courses but never doing much besides some basic boxes and cylinders in the void, and other worthless shit like that.
You CAN make it and get as good as you want, but you need to ignore that fear and just draw.

Draw. Don't think about touching learning resources before finishing at least 100 drawings.

First things first,
> DRAW!!!!
Just like you wont get swole withouth lifting, you wont get better withouth drawing.

But JUST drawing will limit your max growth and growth rate.
>Go through fundies in any order.
you need to go through all of em at least a lil bit, some things you will learn fast, some will be slow painfull unintuitive (it is individual).
Proper lifting technique will get you swole faster and you will be able to get swoller then before.

Look and analyse good art/art you like
Good diet will improve gainz and raise your max gainz even further.

Look at how other people who made it do things, won't 100% work for you but you can learn something. Mike menzer went with high intensity short workouts, Dorian yates went with volume, Arnold went with varying up excercises, all of em were creme of the crop in their time.

Rest. Watch a good movie, play vidya, read a book get proper sleep, go on a nightout, as long as you dont destroy yourself with booze and blunts, you will be destressed, and recharged.
My ass hurts from sitting and drawing as much as possible, i should cut down before i do some longterm damage.
(From experience) it takes me 18-12 hours to finish something if i do it in chunks of 2 hours per day (4 to 6 days). but it takes me up to 20-30 hours if i try to cram as much as possible in a day but it only takes me 2 to 3 days. You get tired, frustrated and inneficient.


Finally motivation: some chase likes, others chase money , some just love it, some use it as an outlet. Here i will post my last wprk, Below i will post something from around 8-12 months ago

I have been avoiding doing important studyes for a while now, im on vacation tomorow so i will spend some time catching up.
