 I wonder what I should draw next. Maybe I'll try using a photo as a reference pic and draw the head of a person using this technique; learn how to evaluate and draw poses on my own, without the guidance of a tutorial.

+Getting up to draw today was not easy. It's not that I dreaded drawing necessarily, but I feel it going the same way as my other hobbies: it's so hard to start. I don't know why I always struggle with motivation like this, but I haven't found a fix for it yet either.
+
+Admittedly, I didn't draw quite as much today as I need to head to bed soon; I have to go to work early tomorrow. Still, I could have drawn earlier in the day, when I had time for it... I did plan to do exactly that, actually. For several days now, actually. I can never muster up the motivation to do it, unfortunately.

+
+Anyway: I drew this head with no direct reference! I mostly drew it freely and only looked back at yesterday's drawings to confirm some positioning. I also used a fineliner to draw the final lines instead of using excessive force with my pencil. Created some nicer lines, though of course it makes them 100% final, so there's a big risk of fucking up.
+
+I used a little test drawing (in the top left) to roughly sketch out the perspective, and it worked out decently.
+
+Afterwards, I didn't really know what to do because I'm kind of getting bored of drawing the same heads with no changes really, and I don't know how to properly draw something else either. I watched another one of mikeymegamega's videos, this one on [basic shapes](https://youtu.be/gMjpAYASbC8), so I drew some *forms*. Of course the cube reminded me of a much more familiar cube.

+mikeymegamega's "Beginner Drawing Tutorial" series continues with videos on shading and perspective; I'm not sure whether I'll watch them soon, because they don't feel right for me currently. Something something too advanced, also not the direction I want to head right now. They did remind me of school, however. I remember that in art class, we often had to do things like draw a scene in a vanishing point perspective, or try to copy our own eye or something. Retrospectively... I felt very underprepared for that. I hardly knew how to draw, so trying these things, while fun, wasn't exactly ideal. I do recall others struggling with the perspective in particular and finding the challenge frustrating rather than enjoyable. Who knows whether that influenced their perspective on creating art.
