the fact that you're gonna hate the final product no matter what, and then having to post it for everyone to see either way.
or maybe it's just me?..

The worst part about doing Art (for me) right now, is:

When I constantly get interrupted when I'm working on a piece, be it family now often bothering me to do things or just stuff to do with life in general (like constantly going out all the time to take care of family business, work etc). Anytime something or someone disrupts my Creative flow, I lose motivation and start procrastinating ie I never finish any of the drawings I started working on. Out of the (2025) Illustration Projects on my Account listed under my Heroes List, I've only finished 3 pieces (in terms of Linework) and only one of them is fully coloured. 

I'm not happy that I'm not getting to finish any of my Manga work at this rate and we're already 7 months into the yr. I wish I could go back to the way life was for me, before my dad died - cuz back then I had all the time in the world to draw and nobody and nothing much got in the way.

The blocks. Like you'll have a spot where you'll be making a few pieces and then your brain just



Stops

Kind of the same thing like with Nails' reply. Amazing idea in head but horrible execution by hand. Except if I had to name something, it would be CONSTANTLY redrawing something, it comes out wrong and then erasing it. Sure, one or two mistakes is okay but it literally keeps happening to me like 10+ times before I finally get it right and it pisses me off sometimes.

Also, another nitpick, but this is personally a me problem, is my messy lineart, sure it can look straight & clean at times and I tend to use thick brushes/lines. I also have sometimes squabbly and wiggly lines too. But if it looks clean enough then I guess I can accept messy lines. I think that stuff is just integrated into most of my art atp I've just accepted it... 🥀
