BOOGER AGED UP?!
That moment when your hand gets sore due to sharpening your pencil too hard...
1. When you draw in front of some one and they try to draw it them selves
2. When the person basically copies the basics of what you just drew and call it their own
3. [When that drawing is a character and they try to make it their own]
4. When you make too complex of designs that it's near impossible to draw them correctly in your mind's eye
5. Coming up with beautiful ideas, attempting to do them, and the result is a offense to that idea.
6. When you mis-proportion
7. When you mess up your drawing planning lines and made no room for some part of the face
8. When you do two or more different versions of a piece and you need like 3 different people to decide for you what looks better.

Omg so true
^^^^^^^
or if i see someone drawing and there's a mistake but i can't just point it out ;v;
Oh yeah. Though some people don't want critique. So whenever someone shows me a drawing and asks for opinion, I always go "do you want me to praise you or do you want me to help you" first.

Prepare for a grand list of a person who breathes art:
- Artist's block or lack of motivation... like my god. Or, procrastinating because I don't feel like doing art. That's even worse and I hate when it happens. Sort of like today, planned to draw all day but in the end got around to it at 4AM.
- I am mostly a digital artist so losing my eraser doesn't ruffle me that much (I rarely traditional) BUT. But. I always lose my tablet pen somewhere in the abyss known as my bed. Not that big of a problem, though. What is more annoying though, my tablet drivers often freak out (gg Wacom) and instead of drawing I have to fiddle with stuff until it works again.
- "Art lows" where I am frustrated with how my style looks and generally thinking my art is poop. I get very irritated and no matter what I draw, feel like it's not good enough.
- Being unable to get something right when drawing or having trouble putting my concept down on the canvas. Sometimes I have an idea but just can't find the right way to portray it.
- Not feeling like drawing commissions, ever. When I feel no attachment whatsoever to what I am drawing, it's very hard to get into it and even though I try my darn best, those drawings often come sub-par to my personal art.
- Being slow.
- Sort of feeling insecure due to not getting recognized on art sharing sites. I am a shy butt so I am really bad at marketing myself.
- Starting a drawing and putting it away for later and then never finding motivation to finish it. I have like 50 WIPs just from this and last year.
- My back being ouchie from uncomfortable positions I tend to automatically get in while focused on drawing.
- The biggest and actually serious problem, which is also a warning to all the younger artists out there. I am a freelancer, which means my only means of getting money at the moment is drawing for people. Which equals to having to put a lot of work into it at times. Back in summer, when I wasn't studying, I had tons of work and overworked myself. It killed my wrist. I've had wrist pains ever since then. So, to everyone, please remember not to strain yourself and take breaks.
This is not a complete list but I've pulled an all nighter so my brain is potatoes now.
yup yup this pretty much sums my issues up. Except for the WIP part. I always finish it in one sitting OR I just put it down for a second and come back.
The things that probably bother me the most is smudging my work/getting stuff on me and my sleeves/clothes as well as back and neck pains from being hunched over whilst working on a piece, I could go on much more but a lot of the stuff has already been said

Lack of motivation
Being able to see a huge epic project in my head, but not having nearly enough skill to bring it to life
Having so many ideas that I'll never be able to get around to them all

I do that all the time. It hurts.
I wish I could do that! I take forever with my art, 8 hours is usually a minimum, mostly I take 2 days. It's usually impossible to do it in one sitting for me.
This feel.
New one: When you wanna draw but you can't because your wrist is dead. Like I mentioned in my first post here, been having wrist issues because I overworked it while drawing. Ended up with having to schedule a doctor appointment soon and buying a brace-like glove today so I could ease the pain a bit. Honestly, do not ever take this lightly... take breaks, don't draw too much in one go.
