My biggest art-related issue at the moment is that each piece takes me way too long to complete. I don't think it's a question of skill, though. I have many bad habits that I need to curb in order to address this issue. Primarily, I procrastinate working on my art. If I spent more time at the desk, I'd get more progress. I also stop often to just look at the art and contemplate my next move. Problem is that it kills the momentum and once I slow down, it gets harder and harder to start up again. At present, my priority is being able to open the canvas and work for 30 minutes unabated. It is a small goal but no journey is completed without taking a first step.

I don't know, to be honest. Every week it changes and it's frustrating. Does it happen to anyone else? I'm between 3 choices at present: digital illustration (there's lots of sub-options in this one alone), animation and maybe photobashing. I need to decide and stick to one because if I were to try and do all 3 it would just come off as mediocre and a waste of time. All 3 are fun to do for me so motivation would't be a problem. My problem is indecisiveness, lack of commitment. I watch tutorials all the time and when I watch, say... a Flash tutorial, I get really pumped to do Flash animation. But then I watch a speedpaint and suddenly I want to do that. So far, weighing all the pros and cons I want to do animation, cause with that I can draw, animate and make art for games, which I've always wanted to do. I need to stop wasting time deceding, I'd appreciate any advice.

I've been drawing ever since I was little and naturally, from drawing comes the interest in animation. I played a lot of videogames as a youth and my interest in making them grew and grew. Nowadays, I'm trying to become a good Flash game 2d artist, learning all the tips and tricks of the software.
