Not sure what to draw next, but I think I'll either go for another person but from a different perspective, or an object. Not sure what to draw next, but I think I'll either go for another person but from a different perspective, or an object.

Well... I persevered. That's probably the most positive thing I can say for today. Urge to delete the post and quit the challenge was strong.
I didn't really know what to draw, so I started copying a frame from the beginning of Bad Apple, which I first wanted to detail but then decided to fill black because the details looked bad.
Out of ideas, I looked up above my monitor and stared at the vinyl record sleeve for underscores' Fishmonger album, so I drew the water tower on the cover. Fittingly, I tried copying a tuna fish I found online, and then drew the can with no reference (can you tell?).
I was then *slightly* motivated after watching [this video on drawing](https://youtu.be/XeIR7P82aPU) by pikat and drew first the head in the bottom left, then the one bottom centre. I kinda like the head shape of the bottom left one.
I think something that's definitely hindering me is a lack of direction, and possibly motivation too, just like with my other projects. I don't really know what to draw, how to draw, what to improve. I'll try watching some more videos, but I'm a bit afraid of falling into the tutorial trap and not being able to draw things without 1:1 reference. I do actually have a handful of ideas I'd like to draw, but I feel I'm not skilled enough to successfully draw them, so I'm kind of holding off on trying them.
Honestly: this felt super stressful to do today! I felt like I had to perform, but I kept postponing all day, just to feel the need to churn out something in the final hours of the day. Being done for the day feels like a relief, but tomorrow's attempt is already looming on the horizon.
