Hey Lale, is it the mechanics of it that wears you down?
I used to feel worn down by that stuff... I mean like, I draw out a house, spinning the page, drawing a line, spinning the page, drawing etc etc, then it's like... I want to put a window there... I need to spin / draw like 20 times to add all the frame and protruding bits etc etc... it feels so long and tiring. Then I want to add a door... same process over and over. I don't feel like that anymore, I wouldn't say I'm too much quicker at it now, since if I go too fast I end up drawing inaccurate lines, but I guess that whole mechanical process of spinning and drawing has become more automated, so I don't really notice it so much, and can think more about the fun stuff. If that's the same for you, it should pass and get more fun - it shouldn't take so long either, only a few of those long careful building constructions and it should feel less of a burden (although doing really complex repeated details on a cathedral or something... that's a whole other level of monotony, I don't really know if that stuff can ever be as fun as more free, organic drawing - I guess doing it well and getting a really nice result is the payoff for going through something like that and should make the next time feel less of a struggle, since you can be confident the result will look nice). Hope that helps ^^
