How do I break out of this and just do it? Every time I force myself to just do it, I do something meaningless for a few minutes and then don't touch the software for months again. Literally Spongebob writing "The" on his essay.

When I first started drawing 'seriously' I traced over 3d models (this is over a decade ago). What I found out is if you finish a project, close it. Don't spend any more to make it your magnum opus. Finish it, post it, and don't look back until a week or months later. Then start new project.
And don't start multiple projects at the same time. If you want to draw something, first you can just copy someone else's stuff for about on Sunday morning or something. For a start, I honestly would recommend people to just copy their favorite artist, so you don't have to spend your brain power on what or how to draw, but make sure you try to finish it.
Then the other half of the time is when you try to learn something and draw your own stuff. It's fine. Drawing is time consuming. You'll probably take a year or two before you can start drawing how you like it. You can cheat if you want to just 'finish' a small project (be it tracing, 3d models, tracing AIslop or whatever). Just note that if you don't spend the other half learning, it will be detrimental to you to keep using shortcuts in the beginning.

I learnt to draw for fun but now that I know how to do it there's nothing to do and no money to be made. It's a useless skill really.

Set up a timer for 15 minutes. You're not done before those 15 minutes have counted down.
Make a habit of working for 15 minutes every day.
Then increase it to 20 minutes. Then 30 minutes.
Or just chain multiple 15 minute timers. 2x 15 minutes is 30 minutes. Four of them is an hour.
You can do it multiple times in different times of the day. It stacks up.

Oh, and don't just "do something". Define what you're going to do during those 15 minutes. "I will draw this specific figure". "I will color this background element".
Your brain procrastinates because your goals are vague. If you can define the task in a specific manner (including the amount of time you're going to spend on it) it's much easier to convince the brain to do it.

Blender is difficult
FL Studio is unusable if you don't have theory. To learn theory you need to own and know how to play the piano.

I don't know shit about music theory but you can absolutely use FL Studio if you wanna make music. It takes a bit of messing around but it's doable. If you're really unfamilliar with the software just start with MIDI-slaps to understand how it works

what's that

>>7956388
Taking MIDIs and slapping a soundfont on the instrument channels. There's a bunch of videos on youtube that go "X but in the Y soundfont". Thing is you want to start looking into the piano roll and experiment instead of mindlessly changing the instruments. Kinda like making a dumb little edit/remix just to get the gist of the DAW. Turning instrument channels on and off also helps, like analyzing each one individually to see what goes into making a full song. You can start by downloading MIDIs of any vidya music you like. Mind you these are just training wheels and won't make you suddenly godlike at music

>imagine not just doing something for the love of the game

after a decade with maybe 20 pieces or so to show for it and procrastinating because i felt ashamed that i missed out on years of progress and let my natural talent go to waste

i just said fuck it and started drawing again regardless of the flaws

why can't you?

if the only love for your craft that you have is the sense of competency then you should just quit; if you actually like doing it then just do it

>>7955301
i started to draw some recently but i still procastinate
why? thankfuly i only have 60 dolar screenless tablet not terabytes of bs references
why do we procastinate? no motivation? no dopamine hit cause lack of immideate gratification?

You can't be drawing constantly but if you don't draw for month or two then something's fucked. When im going off it's usually because im off ideas.

I could start drawing but then whats left of the day is going to piss away and then I'll have to sleep and face tomorrow. Its much better to do nothing and drag the time as much as possible
>>
>>7958465
Why indeed. Why, DIDN'T I ALREADY FUCKING ANSWER THIS ONCE, MOTHERFUCKER.
Anyway, what's the task you're procrastinating on? How did you define it? How much time did you allocate to it? Did you already split it into the smallest atomic subtasks you could possibly think of? Then did you consider just working on a different task for a while, if the first thing on the list made you balk for some reason?

>>7958465
Easier to get dopamine with doomscrolling than to get dopamine from <<just draw>> or doing chores. Even at work the hard part is getting started.
