Does anyone have any tips on starting/maintaining the 50% rule? I procrastinate from it a lot and I think a lot of its coming from the paralysis of not knowing what to draw (and of course the usual beginner issues like dealing with being uncomfortable with drawing things that don’t meet your expectations), I think I also fall in the aphantasia camp as well.
I do struggle to balance the time spent skill building vs drawing for myself. I figured instead of trying to match the time (I tend not to time track anyways) maybe I could do a page or two as a minimum requirement before starting skill building practice.
Any tips would be awesome, I’ve struggled to avoid burn out in the past I think this the main reason for this and I want to do my best to beat it. I come from an academic background which I think is the main source of the issues at hard, its hard to lose the mindset of being as efficient as possible with learning a skill but It really sucks the fun out of anything creative. Perfectionism served it purpose in school but not so much with my creative hobbies.
