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.

Last night, I remembered some screencaps I took of Neon Genesis Evangelion as reference material for 3D modelling and decided I could try to use it as reference for drawing as well. So I did! I tried to draw Asuka.
I started with the head shape and definitely immediately screwed up, as I made her chin way too long. The eyes didn't turn out too bad; definitely a little better than yesterday's attempt at perspective.
Tried to do shadows/shading as well, and it turned out kind of neat, though obviously without much thought as it's clearly just a carbon copy.
I'm wondering whether I should try to trace some art, just to get a feel for dimensions? Again though, I don't want to depend on tracing, so I'm a bit wary of trying it.
