Why do I hate my drawings so much? Why am I scared to start drawing something and always expect a failure?

quit fucking crying
you can only draw terribly to know why you're terrible and that translates into getting better
by that logic, it sounds like you don't have the mindset so drop it already

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried- Adolf Hitler
I have been drawing/inking and painting since I was a kid. I'm in my 20s now, and I've realized that I am merely a photocopy machine. I draw what I see, but everything always seems a bit... off. I believe this is because I haven't studied the foundations. I think the subjects in my art have no weight to them, and often proportions are off. I also have a problem drawing from the mind, the things I create from nothing tend to suffer the same fate but worse. I am thinking of purchasing a book to help self study and have narrowed it down to four options:

No. Instead, you're gonna read all 4, and continue on from there.
Instead, read them up in a certain order.
Start with Michael Hampton and Bridgman's book at the same time, going back and forth. Then read up on Classic Human anatomy. Then finish up with Loomis' book Figure Drawing for All It's Worth.
However, once you're done with all 4, you basically just started. Where to go from there is up to you. The book section has great recommendations.

For a book focused on figures, I like Hampton's book. It doesn't get as bogged down in measurements and anatomy. It focuses on feeling the forms, and gesture and weight. It focuses more on the basic foundations I guess, the most important stuff. So I think it's best to start with.
Loomis' books are great too though, and touch on placing figures in a scene, perspective, composing shots, that sort of thing. A little in the book you listed, more in the "Successful Drawing" book.
Bridgeman's...

You're not gonna make it.

On a tablet, if you move the pen really fast, you might get a straighter line than usual.
It also might be because you're drawing on PS and a tablet. If you draw slowly in PS, you get jittery lines.
What program are you using?
How many of you have used recreational drugs for creative inspiration? Do you have drawings you've made while under the influence?
