Please don't fav this shitty attempt at drawing. And please excuse the ensuing venting in this posting.
I'm trying to get back to drawing, and coming up empty. Nothing comes out right. Even if I blatantly try to rip off somebody else's drawings to try to pose characters, I can't get anything done. I'm feeling really depressed that I seem to have lost my touch, and living a rather dull and lonely life only makes me feel even more worthless.
II don't know what to do.

It's only natural that your skills will atrophy if you stop doing that skill for a long time. I would be ecstatic if you got back into drawing, but I know that's not gonna happen if you think everything you do sucks, or that you suck. Because you know what? You don't suck. I remember when you used to draw on a regular basis, and your art was absolutely amazing. I realize you don't have the time or energy to really draw anymore thanks to switching careers, but I can tell you one thing: You're deluded if you think you're a bad artist.
You. Do. Not. Suck. I can't draw to save my life; when I try it comes out absolutely hideous. Even if you don't think you're good at it, you're miles ahead of me and most other people watching you. And I say that counts for a helluva lot.

the only way out of this little hole and back to great art is... well, to keep drawing. you didn't draw for a long time, so you are not as good as you used to be. normal.
just keep drawing and practicing stuff and you'll be back to your old self sooner or later :)
also, it might be better if you just jump over your shadow and upload the stuff you draw into your scraps. even if you are not satisfied with it, maybe it would help you a lot if you see how others react to it

I've despaired at times about writing stories as well, so desperate to do it and my fingers just don't wanna type. This is still better then I can draw, so have a bit of faith in yourself; it's simply sleeping, waiting to get woken up, and even asleep is still capable of doing nice things.
Well, maybe just do some research for awhile and do small doodles. It could just be a block. Another thing you could try is draw something completely different for awhile. Like, do a complex perspective exercise. Perhaps if you do something YOU feel you succeeded at, maybe it will help with the depression. Make you feel accomplished. Chin up, we all have things like this happen. :D *pets*
