Read the sticky then, it will motivate you.

Don't forget the Grand Prize.
"Grand Prize
>You drew everyday for a long time, longer than anyone else. Congratulations. You are the best"

I don't know if it's releated to art, but what I like to do while procrastinating is making doodles on my sketchbook, just small weird figures that I don't really think too much over, it might not be good looking but I'm improving my art skills anyway.
If it's not art releated just start having ONE good habit, or start killing ONE bad habit, rome wasn't built in one day so just focus on one problem at a time and you will get out of it in no time.
Hope this helps.

It's a bit sudo sciency but for the most part, it does make sense.

It feels like i have no energy at all to learn. I am quite a beginner and I am drawing for 3 weeks now. At first i had that "hype" and i could it for hours, now I struggle with making more than 20 minutes. I dont how to reignite that passion.

you need a goal a schedule and a path forward not to procrastinate. Be working toward something.

I don't know how most artists deal with it. specially since its difficult for an artist to measure his own progress. maybe make a tumblr or hentai foundry account?

Ha.
You will never make it.

I've been doing that for 25 days and frankly I want to quit everyday
That also doesn't stop procrastination as I procrastinate, but then at 10:30 I draw for an hour and a bit.
I'm not the OP.
My life feels like torture.

That is a nice video I might do it.
I'm guessing I'm sort of doing that now in LAS challenge. If it is 10:30, then I must get out my wacoom tablet and plug it in.
My problem is that i start with something and halfway i begin to doubt my ideas and i get demoralized and depressed.

I found having a tumblr helps motivate me to draw even when I don't feel like it. It makes me accountable if I want to maintain an increase in followers.
As up their own ass as a lot of people on here get, pretending like they're some monk or hermit selflessly perfecting their craft, the reality is basically everybody enjoys positive feedback and it encourages them to continue. Having a tumblr just gets you that nice feeling of "x many people liked this" or "my follower count is increasing and that feels good!" which encourages you to carry on. It just feels good when you hit 100, 200, 500, 1000, etc followers, or one of your drawings gets really popular. And feeling good is important for forming habits.
It isn't a replacement for getting proper harsh critiques and frequent reality checks, it's just a bit of a motivator to keep you going. Don't let it control you or what you draw (IE "I want to draw x but I know it won't be popular so I won't"), or let it go to your head when a drawing of yours takes off (You can draw shitty fanart or funny things and get a lot of notes).
If you don't love the drawing processes, drawing may not be for you; Try contemporary art.
I have a huge chip on my shoulder from being a failure and my family outright calling me out on it, sometimes abusing me about it.
But art is pretty lackluster for an ambitious person. I don't want to be stuck doing grunt work for $60k/year at some random AAA company as the best possible scenario.
There should be more to life...

you don't have the spark.

Start drawing furry shit then. Then you are depressed from the start.
It's getting worse and worse.

Flawless 22er here, feels great tbhfam
I find that breaking routine is really helpful.
Try going through one day thinking to yourself "is this what I usually do?" and if it is, do something different.
