How can you procrastinate when drawing is so fun?

>>4939916
obligated myself to draw daily
started just for the lols, one week passed and now I can't stop
something that works for me, if you're the musical/drawing while playing stuff kind, is playing music you listened when you made some of your favorite/most passionate works
also play around, use a symmetry tool, etc, as long as you start enjoying it you'll be forced to keep doing it

>>4939926
Not so much when you are grinding.

>>4939916
why is so hard to just draw?

>>4939981
Grinding is also fun

>>4939916
Procrastination is your laziness
Depression is you excusing you’re laziness

>>4939916
post it in /vent/ or better yet in /r9k/.

I'm sure that advice would do wonders for the clinically depressed and suicidal.

>>4940018
>best brand humanly possible but I'm gonna not use it and keep being a sad sack of shit cuz I don't agree with the views of a water filter sales man who warns the public about gay frogs.

>>4940023
Yeah browsing 4chan.org/ic/ must be like rubbing a genie lamp too

Leave this board
Go draw something
Cant? Turn off the pc
Turn off your phone
Pick a pen
Paper
Draw


Seriously wtf is wrong with you guys? Bunch of self loathing fuckers, your art suck because your mind is a mess and unless you fix that, you will never get good at art

Lmfao, makes sense that Karens would be the ones to fall for Alex Jones's horseshit. Cut out the middle man and start selling herbal life so you can buy from yourself

I get depressed when, after conquering procrastination and doing something I put hours of time and love into, I get like 5 likes on Twitter and that's it.

>>4940046
>I've never had to deal with depression before and it shows

>>4940166
Post art on Instagram for 2 years, still only 90 followers from which at least half are people I know in RL and friends. Female friend makes an account 0 posts but a tiny profile picture. 300 followers withing 1 or 2 months.

use the pain to push you forward

unironically

>>4939916
>How do you deal with procrastination?
Do something instead of not doing something.
>How do you deal with depression?
Do something instead of getting sad.

You could even simplify it down to "Feel anything? Draw. Feel nothing? Draw. Draw? Draw." Then you have skills to be happy about, a job to keep busy with, a unique trait to attract peers, friends, and potential lovers, and pow. Now you don't even have to ignore the pain, as it's all gone.

>>4940166
do it for yourself not for likes. think up a project you can put a series of drawings into.

>>4940510
do you want genuine people around you, or do you want a bunch of horny loners that are only interested in seeing your tits and ass?

>>4940446
No, and also, go fuck yourself. Pussy faggot

>>4940446
Why yes I never had to deal with depression. What's depression? Bitch tears for pussies?

>>4941232
this but unironically
sometimes I wonder if people here even draw at all, or only visit this board to whine

>>4939916
Well mate i don't know how much of a heavy case you have for your depression. I'll tell you how to deal with procrastination though. It's tough but i realized that i didn't want my life to continue being shitty and amount to nothing. I wanted to do something better with my life and live schedule like so i know exactly what's coming.

Clean your room up, wash your clothes, plan for what you are going to achieve throughout the day.
The first step is always the hardest, so be fueled by your dreams. Do not give in to the terrible thoughts.Cry through it if you have to.
The fact that you ask this question means that you must have a reason to go on and stay on this world.
Use it as fuel all the way forward.
Now after everything is nice and clean turn off anything that's distracting such as your phone or anything else and pull up an artbook or two and work. Really stick to being committed to it for 30 minutes and then chill out for the reminder of the day. Every day you should be increasing the time spent on drawing. Do not grind or grind for a little then go and draw whatever is fun to you.
If you want to draw for more time then do it. It's up to you. I also recommend journaling if you can't afford a therapist. Look into stoicism too.

>Been dealing with procrastination, depression, off and on with art for years. I stuck to drawing on a schedule and now i'm making good progress and have a aptitude for art like i never thought i would.
I don't know if it will work for you but doesn't hurt to try.

>Do not grind fundies the whole way through JUST grind for a little then go and draw whatever is fun to you.
Need to reread my stuff more.

>>4939916
I kill myself.

>>4940034
good response, gmi

>>4941244
>>4941249
Good stuff, thanks.

same question, my anxiety has been making me so sick that I can't do anything but I have submissions for art uni, what do? ;___;

>>4941280
No problem!

>>4940510
Coomer here, I usually just toss all the nice artwork I see on twitter a like without even looking at their art for more than 5 seconds, I don't give two shits about whatever else they have to say.

Twitter likes don't mean shit, it's superficial garbage.

>>4940023
If they kill themselves they don't need to worry about procrastinating anymore

>>4940446
Depression doesn't exist for men. You're just a pussy. Not necessarily your fault though, society and media aren't for men anymore.

>>4941354
>society and media aren't for men anymore.
i blame women for not opening their legs

i sleep

>>4941376
The one to blame is you and your broken bird brain.

I'll take anyone actually. The bigger the following base the better. I have hot female colleagues, their followers are in the thousands within a year and they get commissions and requests to buy the work. Of course many of them are thirsty guys, but they are doing well and their bigger follower base gives them more credibility. I'd take 1000 thirsty followers in a heartbeat.

>>4939916
I would read (still do). If you get inspiration to draw, just draw or write down what you want to draw somewhere visible. When you force it, it's never as good as not forcing it.

>>4941244
>i realized that i didn't want my life to continue being shitty and amount to nothing
This thing doesn't hit you until you're close to 30. I'm in the same boat as you, just sort of a long term plan to avert midlife crisis, I guess.

Stop masturbating. You’re addicting to immediate dopamine rushes and need constant validation to keep it up. The depression comes from that hollow lack of self-fulfillment, and the lack of motivation is post-orgasm lethargy.

>>4939916
you gotta chain a couple activities that give you serotonin. For me I can usually get out of a general bad mood by exercising, followed by making and eating good food. Accomplishing things is big for me, if I accomplish 2-3 things a day I stay pretty happy

>>4943100
that's pseudo-science

I use the depression to get out of my NGMI state
