May I suggest you take a look at this post and its comments?

In particular, you might want to read my replies there since I felt the same way you do for a very long time.

You can get out of that state and learn to draw. It's totally doable.

Edit: also, I think a book like Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain might help you.

Learning the fundamentals of drawing can help with understanding the whole process. I am working my way through this book: Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain
It basically walks you thorough the concepts behind drawing and teaches you the principals of contour, negative space, etc.
It's written by an art professor and has projects throughout the book.
Art classes are great, but might be too costly. The book is nice because you can go at your own pace. I've found it to be extremely useful.

>Look at reference when you draw

To further this advice, check out Betty Edwards' Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.

I recently read This and it helped me with drawing perspective immensely.

But straining your brain can be good!

I think the standard reply to this is:

Some kind of structured practice and this book: Drawing on the right side of the brain.

I have this book and whilst I haven't been adhering to it strictly in any way, it has definitely improved my ability to draw. The examples provided of progress by her students is quite encouraging, too.

Learn art basics first. Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is very short and very helpful. I suggest starting with that.

>I often read that practice is the key to good drawing.

It's the only way. Learn and apply. Keep reiterating that cycle.

Hello.

I have been drawing since I was little kid.

If I had to start now I'd use this book.

I'm the lazy kind too. Drawing isn't very strenuous, and you can sit and draw your own foot for your drawing of the day, if you want. :)


I actually bought two books--the one I mentioned (http://www.amazon.com/The-Drawing-Right-Side-Brain/dp/0007116454), and Keys to Drawing, by Burt Dodson http://www.amazon.com/Keys-Drawing-Bert-Dodson/dp/0891343377/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1413937201&sr=1-1&keywords=keys+to+drawing+by+bert+dodson. They are fab books that made me understand that anyone can draw. Some days I got inspiration from the books and did exercises, and other days I'd pick something from around the house or out of a book or even froze the tv and drew people I saw there. No rules except to draw what I saw or imagined once a day, and to finish what I started. For me, finishing was the most important thing, because I get frustrated and want to quit.


Would love to share! That means I'll have to learn how to upload here ...


If you do choose drawing, I'd love to see how it goes!
