Anon·05/13/26 09:18·No.7940133

what can I do to not feel like a failure when Im not drawing? Whenever I have free time and I'm watching tv, gaming, etc, I always have this feeling in to my head that I should be drawing. I want to get better at drawing, but I always put it off. This also comes up whenever I see other people's art ...

What canvas size do you draw on? I've started to think 9000x8000 is too large. I draw on an iPad so it's especially dumb, I can't even more my arm like that most of the time.
