I’m a writer, but I’d like to be a comic book artist. I’ve been trying to learn how to draw on and off for years. At first, I felt like I didn’t have the talent for it, but looking back at what I’ve done in previous years, I think my problem is more about motivation. I just don’t find the same fulfillment in drawing as I do in writing. I’d like to find a way to break through this imaginary barrier…
I don’t enjoy the physical activity of painting. I enjoy seeing a picture start to emerge from the marks im making and I enjoy having a finished painting that I know i made.
Right now Im participating in the 100 day challenge by making a small painting every day. Its day 58 and im keeping up with it. I post my results in the artshare community, and even though no one would probably notice if I stopped, it still feels like more accountability.
Eta: check out artprof.org. There’s a discord and they offer one on one critiques. Dont know if it will meet your needs.
