Doesn't sound like ADHD so much as just shying away from something you feel obligated to do. I think when you really hit your stride with it and feel good about it all the time, you'll enjoy it enough to not feel like it's an obligation, but more than it's something you truly want to do. I know if it's something I really enjoy doing, and I feel obligated to do it, I'm able to look past it and just get it done. I think maybe you just haven't hit that point yet? :c

I would agree, but it's not even that. I've had images in my head of cute things, sexy things, beautiful things, and none of them got roughed out.
I would sit down to do them, get part of the pose, the body, the scene, and then I'd get called away or start tinkering with stuff around me. Like,
it's a subconscious act, i'll slap my hand and try to focus but it just gets harder every time. :/

It's why I feel bad about it, cus I feel like I should be able to control myself over something so trival.

Oh... I know your pain somewhat. ;n;

It's really important to love the art you're making. And in order to do that, you must first love yourself, unconditionally, and regularly.

The less you love the art you're making, the more prone you become to procrastination. And procrastination lowers your self-esteem, which of course makes you even less likely to draw at all. It's a vicious cycle, but it's a fact of life for artists. You literally /have/ to draw things that you truly, deeply love, and do so on a regular basis, to keep yourself "going" at optimal mental strength, in my opinion. For me, it's drawing my character engaging in the acts of infantilism and diaper play that I fantasize about with the greatest pleasure, sexual or non-sexual. Everyone manifests their own happiness in different ways; mine just happens to be through infantilism and diapers (and of course other things). I've found that if I go too long without showing myself some caring, nurturing, unconditional love, I can spiral down into a self-loathing state, which is no good for bringing out the best of my talent and skill. But when I bounce back, invigorated with love for myself, I can draw damn near anything. As far as I can work out, and I could of course be wrong- this is the cure for art block.

But what about the times when you're asked or required to draw things that you don't deeply love? Well, these are the times when you simply have to "grin and bear it", as my mother would say. Consider all of the elements which add up to create the picture, and pick out the ones which you enjoy performing, regardless of the other aspects which you don't. Focus on those, and try to derive the most pleasure from them. That should keep your spirits up high enough to "grin and bear" the other, less-enjoyable processes. And always remember- it won't last forever. Sometimes it can help to stretch out a big project into smaller, easier-to-manage chunks. When doing this, it may also be helpful not to do all of the less-enjoyable aspects at once, and all of the pleasurable ones at another- rather, do a little of both in each chunk of time. And when you are finally done, give yourself a little reward. Such as simply eating out, or ordering a big, yummy dessert. I like to do that. P:

I wish I could mark posts as "+1 Insightful" or something like that. :)

I don't have any advice that's specific to art, honey, but I've always had the same problem that I can't ever seem to get anything done when I'm at home, either. When I was in school, I'd just stay in the library until I got my homework done, which worked for me.

I guess not everyone can work at home, maybe?

*hugs*
