++++ end copy pasta (i take no responsibility for what i just copypastad) ++++ As a fellow drawfriend, i want you to know that you can do it! believe in youself! (We're all going to make it) UwU extra tips (free of charge) from yours truly~: - Don't rub one out before you draw something, it'll drain you of your horny energy, an essential ingredient in producing fine art. - Do work out though (before or even in between drawings), it'll give you energy! - Drink water too! - Try the 1 minute rule (or whatever it's called), if you don't think you have the energy or willpower to start something, set yourself 1 minute to get started at that point, your body will love doing it and not know how to stop OwO! - If you're really struggling to find something to draw, try drawing what another anon has doodled here! it's truly a win-win, whoever is better can serve as inspiration and a bit of a "how-to" / redline to the other, + you don't have to think so hard about what to draw!
