I really, really need to stop drawing at the exact size I see and start scaling up my studies, this is about 1/6th of the area of the page and it's too small for me to make any precise corrections
I could've just made a larger, more accurately detailed study within the same length of time kek

I wrote like 10000 characters in my first reply of me chastising myself but nobody wants to read that so in summary I'm not actually treating my practice as practice and I'm letting myself get carried away with my familiar line of thinking which I KNOW isn't going to help me improve in the medium-long term
>this is all very vague ramblings... sorry lel
this kind of "meta-critique" (i.e not critiquing the work in particular but identifying issues with the approach to work) is very difficult and I really do appreciate what you've written, I just feel guilty for not having applied it yet
what you've written here
>you jump too quickly to the end of the drawing. you are putting down one or two approximations for the forms like stepping stones, and then running towards the end (=final, decisive lines) like the floor is made of lava. when you draw from imagination, you have no knowledge of where the final lines will go.
is a perfect diagnosis of the exact issue I'm having early on, and I know that the earlier I break my current way of thinking and try something new the better, I just need to find some way of forcing myself to ffffffffffffucking do it without getting carried away
like you have written EXACTLY what I need to read down to the last word and my intuitive reaction is that of apprehension which I feel is really really bad news for me kek, it's like I'm careening off a cliff behind the wheel of a car knowing I'm soon to plunge into an ocean of failure and laziness
if I had any ability for drawing from imagination I would scribble some schizophrenic apparition of myself bashing my own head in with a rock
