So I've been spending a lot of time learning more about anatormy while I draw, but I haven't really been practicing consistently for a long time. I feel like I set my expectations for myself too high, and because of that I spend inordinate amounts of time on each piece trying to actually get the right proportions and everything. As of late, I've been spending at least an hour or so drawing every day, but I haven't posted anything because I've been impatient, rushing myself and drawing like crap.

I feel like I'm struggling to get my hands to follow along with my head, so I'm gonna take some personal time to slow down a bit, draw some simpler stuff and focus on the fundamentals. I'll get to finishing the last WIP soon since I don't wanna leave that unfinished, but after that I'm probably going to try to re-learn how to draw a little bit. I think a lot of my issues just come from how I hold my pen while I draw. I hold the pen really close to the tablet, and with my hand curled up a bit. I've noticed it's pretty restricting on how I can move my pen around while drawing, so I'm gonna try to hold my pen more upright, farther from the tablet, and curl my hand up less so I have more freedom while drawing.

And if that's not the issue, I'm just gonna make sure that while I practice, I draw slowly and more carefully in order to just make myself more dexterous. I'm gonna dial it back a bit, draw some simple stuff and just focus on practice for a bit, since consistently drawing the lines I want seems to be my biggest issue right now.

If you have any advice on how to practice well, essentially just making my hands more obedient and steady, feel free to leave a comment below. I'm open to suggestion.
