Watch anime or porn
those things help
Motivation is overrated. Discipline.
Change the way you look at drawing.
If you're impatient, develop a mindset or technique that makes you feel you're increasing in skill rapidly.
remember why you started
if you have trouble even there, you might not make it

Draw what makes you happy.
I draw animu girls, I suck and improvement is slow. But at least it let's me draw for at least 40 minutes a day if I get that much free time.

Is this a new meme? Came back after some months and can I see this everywhere.

Make drawing a habit, eventually it just becomes part of your daily routine.
Motivation wise I feel like revisiting old pieces and drawing them again gives me a huge boost.
It gives you an idea of how much you improved, which is a big confidence boost and it also highlights areas where you might not have improved as much so you know where to focus your studying next.
I also find it helpful to change things up, I usually draw from imagination, more line art sort of stuff.
If I feel in a rut I'll decide to do a speed painting of a photograph.
It allows my brain to relax because I'm just focusing on recreating an image instead of trying to think one up, and instead of focusing on line art I focus more on shapes and values.
If I'm really feeling unmotivated I'll just make random shapes until I see something and make an image out of that.

Snorting Ritalin helps.

I know your joking but I take ritalin and drink coffe so I don't have to eat till around 7-8 hours after I get up I legitimately have add though.
Other than that its all about habits, after a while of drawing as much as you can you start to feel bad about not drawing and don't even want to play games and such.
the hard part is instilling that habit but its doable.
If you're gonna play video games all day, then why don't you use it to your advantage?
Whatever game you play, take a good look at the artistic elements. Saw a really cool design? Take note of it. No matter how shit the game you're playing you can find some shit that can inspire you, just fucking find it.
And lastly, it's not motivation that you need, its discipline you lazy twat. If you expect motivation to come to you in a silver platter, its not. The complete opposite will happen and you'll get less and less motivation. Receiving only in a short burst.
Your probably a disappointment to your parents. Don't be one to yourself at least.

week one?

Actually, I'm not joking. Taking ritalin orally doesn't do much for me, but snorting it does. It's an uncomfortable high and I get muscle spasms, a crusty nose, stomach cramps, insomnia and constipation, but it gives me the necessary boost to draw for several hours at a time.
I realize I can't do it for very long at a time, due to the effects it has on my physical and mental health, but right now it's the only thing that works for me. It also does wonders for my libido. It's like I'm 18 again.
