Absolute beginner here. Here's how I approached it.
For me, I divided my artsy brain into two: 1. to learn the basic, tedious, technical part of drawing.
- to draw whatever i feel like to.
First part, i intend to sit down and chew the slow, consciousness moment of taking up the lessons. This is hard, but very important.
I take a sit in front of my computer, pen on paper, and follow the lesson as good as possible. Can't concentrate anymore? just take a break and go back later.
I do this every afternoon.
Two, I draw whatever i like to draw. For example, i took 8 minutes challenge every morning to draw anything, whatsoever i want. Here, i just mindlessly let the tip of my pen flows on the paper. It's fun, plus it's kinda therapeutic.
This method has been cycling for over a week, and works for me. Sometimes yes i got bored too. But then, I just go doing something else.
Don't let yourself get overwhelmed. Forget it and just take a break. Distract yourself with something else.
