Put a poster of your waifu on your wall. Kiss her good morning and good night. It helps.
Stay away from /ic/.
Early stage artists are a massive filter pile. Most give up there. Few pro artists made long lasting connections at this stage. Get it over with as quickly as possible.
There are no good public discord servers, the good stuff are friends groups.
Maybe try to find a nice little community on twitter.
A non artist friend is fine too. They can be supportive and give you a genuine response of an art lover over an artist.
The younger and less jaded the community you go for is, the more likely they are to be a high quality community and make it.
Do yourself a favor and wash away all the memes you heard on /ic/.
They do a good job at filtering out "muh style" garbage that you see from the common no quality bar art school, but they also make their own stupid ass memes.

I am heavily technical. I constantly try to figure things out in my mind. I hate the "art is whatever you want it to be" attitude. I had to figure out how to zen and how to be less stressed. I got to thew point that I was bullying myself, where I was afraid of the paper. I ruined many projects I created for myself, telling myself I need to grind more technical, preventing myself from growing horizontally to balance out the vertical, technical tower. This is something I am still trying to patch. The greatest favor you can do to yourself is learning to be more zen about art. I think technical is the fun itself, describing it as zen is the best way I can think to put it.
>2 hours a day
2 hours a day to draw can be an insane amount if you are working right. If you are properly solving through your problems and building up on it. If you actually got 2 hours every single day, a year down the line you are likely going to be a lot damn better than the guy who is waiting for an 8 hour muse to hit him.
