Bird studies I drew of sparrows and woodpeckers to try to identify them better. Almost a year later and I still get the sparrows mixed up.

I drew a building for practice. I want to improve.
Just setting time to start for a solid 15min is the hardest part. More so as I've been struggling to work on my comic.
I have to rememver it's not a waste of time.
Heck, I should apply this to my comic work. 15min of work is better than none.

Unpopular motivation hack for drawing:
Start drawing immediately, even if it feels impossible.
After 15 minutes, your brain will recognize the difficult task and create dopamine to help you keep going.
Agonizing endlessly before the drawing doesn't help your creative process.
