I try to do whatever I can to take the pressure off of drawing. I often feel like sending emails is my job (I am bad at that job) AND then I can escape to the fun of drawing things. but that doesn’t mean that even though drawing is my all time favorite thing to do that it isn’t difficult some days.
I feel like drawing can be super hard or it can just be you dragging a mark making tool across paper. I often try to compartmentalise it as just –wow how cool is it that this pen/cil I have can make lines on paper!
Sometimes what helps me is to start out a day by redrawing a couple images from photos or other people’s work. And once I’m just making lines and not thinking about it, it becomes easier to draw my own stuff
