Do have any tips on staying motivated?
I’m dead inside dude. Rather than forcefully treating each day like it must be “good” and “fulfilling”, accept them for what they are, semi-bad days with a good event happening once every new moon. Also helps with what people call art block. Constant art block is my normal state, just push through it, keep grinding, you have a purpose to fulfill no matter what state you’re in. Once in a while the golden zone shows up, and you’ll elevate your work to the next level, until that you grind your worst state to be the best possible one.And I’m already swaying away again, it’s a good question, it deserves a proper answer. If you were motivated the day before (I assume it’s about a specific topic/fandom), just motivate yourself with the source material again, watch a trailer, read about the characters, anything that gives you a spark. The most demotivating thing for beginner artists, is not being able to portray what they have in their minds. The actual fun comes when you get good, and don’t need to overthink 3000 things at once; so the answer again is to just push through it. “Why can’t I paint like this person”, “Why does mine always suck” etc. It’s good to be inspired by an artist, and have something you can chase after; but stop comparing yourself to someone who has either far more experience, or perceives the world in different way altogether. Follow your own path and do what only you can do.c’mon dude, one of those did hit the mark?
