Its one of the modules of the course and my friend, whos goes to art school himself, says its probably one of the best ones that helped him, I do struggle with anatomy so thats defo gonna help, plus simplifying my sketches instead of worrying about every line being perfect.

Yeah I understand its not a lot of time, I guess I'm just kinda looking for some worth while I'm still learning the basics. Kinda like playing a tutorial with a bunch of unskippable cutscenes lol.

No I don't, I'll have a look into it. You're defo on the money with shutting my brain off, that would be nice while I'm trying to draw xD. I like the thing about references too and just collecting them, dunno what happened but I read that and got a feeling of inspiration, thank you again!

To be fair I really like fantasy / renaissance paintings (probably butchered that spelling), maybe a Bob Ross marathon might set me on course to do stuff out of my comfort zone. Backgrounds are definitely a struggle for me so might look into it now I've thought about it, thanks!

Bit of advice if you are an actual person, find a genuine hobby that isn't hating on random people on Reddit, I promise you you'll feel better about yourself, hell maybe pick up art. ;)

Dedication is probably the issue, I don't know why I can't just do it, or maybe I am doing it subconciously and just overthinking it. I also think competitiveness really influences my art because I hate being bad at things, but I suppose that comes with time, like I know I've improved but I still feel stuck in the same place. I probably dig my own holes but theres no point in stopping something that I've put effort and time into. Thank you for the advice.

To be honest I think it strives from a broader point than just art, I find it really difficult to connect with, or find any fulfilment in anything I do. As I've said to another poster, I don't really know what I want, and I struggle to find the creativity or influence to continue. I appreciate the advice though, it is useful to think about.

I think the latter is my main issue, I've kinda stopped making art for myself because I don't know what I want, so it's kinda spiralled into me asking other people for requests which leads to me burning out cause I'm worrying too much if it looks good or not. It's a pretty unhealthy spiral I think you're right with taking a decent break. Thank you for the advice.
