When this happens to me, I try coloring a previous drawing and coming back. I eventually get tired of coloring stuff that I'll be itching to sketch.
Also thumbnails in sketchbook help ALOT. It's a shame I'm too lazy to do that most of the time though ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Always sketch it out first that way you get a feel for what you're trying to draw.

You need to be feeling it or it just won't come out. Music helps.

Are you feeling it now Mr. Krabs?
:iconbitchpleaseplz:

Anyway on a serious note..just keep drawing the image if it bothers you, even if you spend like 10-15 minutes on it per try, you'll eventually see and learn your mistakes or weakness.

Well. Either try again, or pick it up later. :shrug: It's not that difficult.

I believe it's the belief of not being able to that keep people away from drawing. I believe everyone can improve if they put down the time to^^

To be honest, I wish there was a version of Photoshop or SAI that allowed it to connect to your brain or mind, letting it bypass the stupid concepts of hands.

seriously though, I have awesome ideas, but my hands are of Michael J fox in an earthquake.

I personally think it's your belief and doubts that hold you back from drawing. I experience it all the time and it can leave me in frustrated moods for hours. One trick that helps me is act like no one but yourself is going to see your drawing and get rid of the notion that it has to be "perfect". It gives you a whole lot of freedom to draw what you wish.
