Maybe write it down first, then stick to whatever scene you planned?

well, that works for sketching and inking, but for example... color, what should i do with that? i feel unable to color cause i want the best result, but my lack of skills or so many options to use... makes me blocked at coloring (for example)

Try one at a time and save different styles?

that would take ages per picture @o@

Well, I don't think there is a 'perfect' style. From what I see, I believe it boils down to time vs quality. Maybe keep a few styles handy which take different times to complete, and then see how much time you want to commit to a picture.

this is what I learned from a friend of mine's daughter (who was a psych major in college)

The human attention span is short... roughly 10 minutes depending on the subject.... if your finding that your mind is being flooded with ideas... take a break and try to forget about it until you want to get back to work... if not that then take the 5 minuteish break and try to think of ways you could just incorporate your new ideas... you could always draw more.... make a list....

i have ideas, a lot, but i cant finish them @.@

that's because you kep getting distracted ^^

I recommend purchasing several notepads then placing them strategically- at the computer table, on top of the microwave, near the bed.
Whenever inspiration strikes, don't talk yourself out of pausing what you're doing to write it down.

the problem is not having ideas, but not finishing them once i start them :(

Just try to commit to certain ideas. Tell yourself that you'll finish it no matter what and try to power through it as best you can. Sometimes you have to just accept that imperfection is a sort of a perfection in itself.

well, you could make a sort of "choose your own adventure" type thing, havig lots of different endings and ways to go is a bonus for those.

You gotta find some way of turning the pressure down. Take breaks or something. Drawing is a very, very low stakes game and you can make plenty of mistakes if you want to. Don't worry if you have artwork you never finish! I've lost interest in tons of art because it was boring or there was something that didn't seem right about it. I've put things on hold for over a year before finally getting around to finishing it, and in between then I might have a whole folder of unfinished doodles.

I'm sorry that I can't give you any real good advice. But know that we're all here for you and wishing you the best. : ) And I believe in you! >3<

With some things, such as color, which i saw you mention, you could take a vote on it, or leave it to chance. Use dice or a random number generator to decide from a list of options.

And, as other people have said, take a break, and leave something unfinished. This is something where writing and drawing can be similar--I start a lot of stories, but finish very few. I post some of the unfinished ones, but I have a lot on my harddrive that are in various stages of completion due to losing inspiration, having another idea I want to try out instead, or not being sure how to proceed from where I am to where I want to go. I've had a couple of stories sit unfinished for years, until a sudden bit of inspiration helps me finish it.

Ultimately I think it's better to start and leave unfinished a lot of pieces than to wind up starting one and not doing anything else because of a feeling that the one piece needs to be finished before moving on. Don't be afraid to share the unfinished pieces, either. Some may be "finished enough" that nobody would realize, and it's possible that response to a piece might give you what you need to finish it.

I know how you feel. My goodness do I ever know how you feel lol

I start stories, and they fall to the wayside because I just can't figure out how to complete it properly. I have one story that's been dangling in limbo for over a year despite it being considered 'complete' once before.

There's no harm in coming back to something later. There's no harm in posting incomplete things ... sketches in your case. Worry about colouring later, or see about asking a trusted friend for some colouring advice. I know of at least a few folks you could easily ask to swap colouring ideas with lol

Big hugs ... I enjoy your work, and hope you feel good enough to post some more of it soon :3

Let the picture draw itself? Sounds like you're just thinking a lot. Try removing yourself from the image. Think of it like you're not creating but translating. What you're expressing already exists, you have to let it guide your hand in creating itself.

Hope you can find what you need :)

You are thinking too far. There are only two options: You finish, and you don't.

Your work has always been good from what I see. Trying to change a style is like trying to change the artist... And we still want YOU as the artist. :P

well thats maybe true, but i dont feel happy with the way my stuff looks, thats why i try to improve it :(

Isn't that why all artists draw? To improve?

The only thing I can say is that you can attempt to leave the images uncolored and then color them on the computer - that way you have copies of the pic if you want to restart. Try not to get frustrated. Put pics away that are bothering you. Work on another picture or go for a walk or something.

Like I said, I am sure others feel the same, I come for your work because of how you make it. I enjoy your art, but don't make yourself unhappy over it. It will just make your artwork feel like a chore to you...

I noticed this journal by accident, but it is a problem I keep seeing. I sometimes sit for months on a picture, always seeking ways to improve it, make it better. At some point I run out of ideas, and often I then still think the picture looks like crap........ so what do I do? JUST UPLOAD IT! Perhaps people will then tell me themselves what I did wrong. That's what I do. Just move on to other things!

the problem is my self steem is low or inexistant... and if ppl says negative stuff i feel horrible :(

I have the same... I don't care how you paint yourself. I assure you, my esteem is REALLY low. As I've said, sometimes I sit on a picture for months, to figure out what to improve, but it's not out of fear what people will say. I do it for myself.

Also to put things into perspective: you're on FurAffinity. I can't even recall the last time I got a nasty comment, much less so a trollish comment. I post videos on YouTube. That's... night and day. I post pictures and people are happy. If it's fetishy then moreso happy. I heard "legends" of idiots who question the realism of hyper, but if I ever see one.... then they're the idiots, not me.

YouTube on the other hand? Yeeesh!
-I present an opinion => People who disagree with me, bash me because my opinion apparently is objectively wrong
-People complain about my accent or production quality => because CLEARLY those are things that I can easily fix not having a job while living in a central European country
-People bash me for only watching 1 episode of a TV series and reviewing it based on just that => not even realizing that I've watched the whole show and just decided to analyse a specific episode to present my point

FA is NOT YouTube. I doubt anyone here wants to see you dead, stomp you to the ground or anything. Come to think of it, you have almost a THOUSAND watchers.... CLEARLY there are people who want to see more of your work, so keeping it from them while it's made, is just cruel. What could you possibly present that could offend them? I've once shown a Rule34 "Angry Beavers" picture, it did offend like 10 people, but I just responded to them that I've seen this sketch, liked it, and felt like coloring it. I admitted that I am embarrassed about this. 9 of these people accepted my response, they were understanding, and that was that. The 10th person? ... he was obviously a troll, so I blocked him! STORY CLOSED!!!!!

I know it's rough. I mean I myself want to think of the internet as a place where I can escape from the jerks of real life, but with how the internet changed, you can never really escape it for sure. You have to learn to deal with it.
If it's constructive criticism, respond to it in a mature way.
If it's a trollish aimless hateful comment, ignore it, don't feed the troll by acknowledging his existence!

a way to boost self-esteem I think is to look back at how far you've gone and to write or draw for yourself

so what if not a lot of people like it, its usually best an art piece gets a small following at first and then grows, rather than just playing to the crowd; playing to a crowd can be really lonely and not fun at all!
