Hi!
My proven method to feel better about the drawing I'm about to make, is to warm up real good first. Get my hand loose, stimulate my imagination, let lines flow freely.
I wanted to share with you a timelapse of that kind of practice + a video process of my recent painting of Tonny.
That last one was really time consuming, I was experimenting a lot and mostly going blind through it, making many mistakes, going back and forth with shading that didn't feel good, so it's mostly a mess but I'm sure you can take something for yourself from it.
