Mental Block for 2D
I need help/advice from seasoned 2D artists who know what they're doing or have been in a similar situation. Long story short I basically gave up drawing in my youth since I could never do it but after figuring out 3D I want to try and tackle 2D for real since it's a completely different skill set.
I've been watching a wide variety of tutorials(most of them are SFW but some on tiktok and YouTube are those covert ones, you probably know what I mean) but nothing sticks. I seem to have some sort of mental block that prevents me from drawing anything other than a cylinder or cube from imagination. Anytime I try to draw a face it's just a blob and I give up. Watching NSFW artists on Picarto doesn't help either since half of the lines they place seem to just be random yet they obviously are not.
What's worse is I'm scatterbrained with 6 different styles that I would want to emulate, unable to pick one which would likely make my life a lot easier. They also seem to range in difficulty, some emphasizing rendering while others hone in on proportions, line art and expressiveness.
Obviously based on where this is I want to make characters, NSFW focuses. Does anyone have any advice? Maybe a really good tutorial series that focuses in on NSFW 2d? How to find a mentor? Or how to remove this mental block in my head?
