I have this thing with me where I binge the ever living hell out of whatever it is I'm doing in one sitting to get it done ASAP. I do this for a lot of things mainly for school works and projects but it's been very noticeable ever since I started drawing over a year ago where the moment I put anything down and decide to finish it the next day, the drive to finish it just evaporates and it just gets left unfinished or half-assed rushed during the day of submission. In my drawings in particular I feel like I could never remember what it was in my mind during the flash of creativity that made me wanna make something so I just end up messing things up and make things worse or just get too scared to mess up and scrap the whole thing. It really just saps away the last bit of confidence I didn't know I even had seeing myself get so close to making something great but still fail halfway through. Anyone else feels like this? or maybe you're the complete opposite and prefer to take your time when doing things? What your personal record on the longest binging session for a project? (Mine was 3 days filming, recording and editing a vlog for a school project) Or just share stories of your toil and how it went This piece I started 3 weeks ago but I had to scram immediately while doing it and I tried finishing it a week ago when I finally got back home and I feel like I made it worse. It's probably time to scrap this whole thing and move on to the next. Sadge since I felt this vision of what I was going to make and it was gonna be great but forgor what it was and now this is all I got left.

Some of you may have already seen me pondering this is in the chatbox, but I'll make it official here. What do you all say to a live meetup where we'll talk and play some fun activities together? My thinking is next Sunday (Nov 10) at, say, 15:00 GMT. And don't worry, it won't be voice chat, we will just be using the chatbox (in the forum homepage). If several people can't make it, then I'm up for rescheduling it. So far I have a few games in mind, to give you all an idea of what we might do. Feel free to post any other games! Anyways, what do you all think about this Moriya Meetup? Who's interested!

First off, you said you made it worse but that looks AMAZING! It looks very professional like something out of a manga With that out of the way, yes, I used to be a bit like that but not as much anymore. I still struggle with things like essays where I finish the first draft but don't feel bothered to edit it. I get the feeling of having been super motivated, full of ideas when starting something but losing interest when coming back to it. I don't know how exactly to fix this commitment issue, but I have a few ideas to think about: -My hobbies are primarily making video games and music, both of which take a lot of time for one project. And while I might be able to rush a song in a day or two, that always ends up in me noticing an issue and going back to fix it. In a similar way, with video games I'm constantly testing with friends and finding bugs, which force me to stay committed to the project. So, maybe if you went back to your drawings and simply look at them, you will start wanting to make changes? -Sometimes I draw, and while I used to always finish it in one sitting, I usually take more time now. Perhaps it has to do with the process? If you have a specific idea for the entire drawing (being able to imagine exactly how it'll look), it's definitely hard to remember it all. In that case, you should start off with a general sketch, write down some of the ideas, or use a reference. (Honestly I think you're a better artist than me so I might be wrong) PS How do you make such clean art? All my drawings feel like they have so many unnecessary fold lines and details and it looks messy

sounds right
