Does doing art feel too hard? Can’t bring yourself to start even though you want to?
Lower your standards
And more importantly, Lower your expectations
Just start it. You can just put down some colors, or just sketch, or just do lineart. It doesn’t have to be more than this. Even starting is enough. Don’t think about all the work you need to put into it. Don’t set unnecessary expectations for your art.
If you get some sketches going but decide to do something else, that’s perfectly okay. If you get to coloring but leave it halfway, that’s perfectly okay. There’s also no wrong way to start an artwork. And don’t second guess what to draw first, because you can draw whatever you want and you can always draw other things some other time. You can start on an idea and abandon it, or move onto the next idea. You can always come back to unfinished artworks. But you don’t have to do that either. An unfinished work isn’t a failure. It’s just a memory
If you want to draw, just draw. It doesn’t need to be more than that
