Drawing obsession

[superguy123]

Hello, I have a problem. I can't stop thinking about drawing and drawing this one thing over and over and its taking over my mind. Can you please help?

What kind of drawing is it

[superguy123 in reply to Hidden]

Well its sort of a lot to go into but, i'm trying to make my own original character who is a girl and has a device from a childhood tv show i used to watch that lets her turn into aliens. And i made her. But i have a hard time deciding her personality and color scheme and I've been focusing on this drawing for a long time, so much that i only want to pay attention to it. And if i try to move to some other drawing my mind keeps forcing me to go back and only focus on it.

Its causing me physical pain in my head. I put so many standards on how it should look like. It may partially have to do with some sexual feelings i've been having which may explain why i'm so torn on whether she should be a regular girl or attractive looking. My mind is screaming to do something different but i can't seem to move on. Never had an obsession like this before. And when i try to move on to making another character i keep comparing it to the first.

You can call it the pain of an artist as well. It doesn't impede my daily functions but it keeps me from doing other recreational things. Its like something in my mind wants me to do this before anything else and i can't stop. I also want to do this for a friend i have online so that's another contributor.

I probably need some therapy or something.

Have u tried drawing her both ways and see which one you like best, put both ideas on papers then you can move on from there
