how to get comfortable drawing traditionally
>only draw digitally for 3 years
>hate keeping a sketchbook because art sucks
> at least when theyre shit digitally i can send them into the void and never look at them again

how to get over this and actually draw in one without hating what i draw

You're too nervous. Play some video games. About 8 hours a day to unwind

you can only overcome it by repeatedly trying. jf it gets too overwhelming take a break and try again. its sad , i was also raised in a way that lead to great anxiety and self pressure, if you become kinder with yourself in time you will be more and more able to draw. Focus on the drawing itself, not the outcome, you can always draw more, there is always another pencil, another piece of paper

You need to just draw a lot until you stop putting so much mental value on the materials. Just waste a bunch of materials filling up pages with doodles or gesture drawings or whatever. One of my teachers told me "paint like someone else is paying for it".

same hate drawing on paper cause of the anxiety of disrespecting the tree that was used to make it

You're treating your sketchbook too much like a sacred cow. It's supposed to end up full of shitty drawings - they're your SKETCHES after all, not final finished artworks.

Art like this makes me somewhat melancholic now. It reminds me how so many assumed cozy/comfort things from the past are terrible for you.
>smoking literally kills
>ceramics like in pic have lead and other heavy metals in the glazes that get abrade and get scratched out out as you use them

When I watch Zeta Gundam I think wisfully about how all the cool future space hamburgers and other food are really true scifi, because the irl equivalent of it is so awful for you.

This phenomena is somewhat cutting the connection to people of the past for me.

Get 500 sheets of printer paper. Start stacking pages. Dont even look at them when you're done just let them all stack up in the corner somewhere. See how long 500 sheets takes you and then do the next 500 faster. Dont care about them. Dont even think of posting them.
