tl;dr, how to become motivated?
I have always had a strong overbearing urge to create art and master a craft.
I played piano and minored in music for a while and learned music theory. Eventually I got burned out from it and I seldom play music anymore, and when I do I am certainly not practicing.
At the beginning of this year I decided to give drawing a try, and I began drawing every other day. I would draw from reality and also draw gestures.
But school got busy, then the summer vacation started and things got pretty strange (my computer kept crashing for like three weeks, job searching everywhere, etc), and now I realize that I havent drawn in probably three months.
I REALLY want to create things. I often find myself conflicted between drawing and music. Both require a great deal of practice to create anything of worth, drawing more so than music to me because I have only started drawing this year.
However, if I dont stay consistent I completely forget about this urge to create, and before I know it three months have passed before I have done anything.
Im sure many if not all students of the arts feel the same way and have faced the same experiences. Personally I dont want to change the world, I just want to make art and share it with my friends.
How can I stay motivated to a single subject and get good at it? I apologize for the long-winded post, I just had to get this out there.
Pic semi related, I want to draw shit like Rebecca Guay
