Honestly, i find myself discouraged everyday. Whether it be interacting with people socially or becoming extremely frustrated with an image i’ve been working on for hours. This is normal, although its easy to let that hold you back. Finding a good tutorial is often difficult because most tutorials are set up to show you very specific little bits and pieces of an idea but not the full picture. On the other hand, if you force yourself to watch a tutorial you may learn a technique that allows you to explore new ideas in your own creative way. A good place to start in general is finding a concept that resonates with you. You can use an image as a model and then figure out ways to build those ideas in the program you are working with. Others may see this as “copying” but you should really be looking at it as a learning experience. For example, i’ve been super inspired by Beeple lately andi have been using his images as a tool to boost my performance and familiarity with Cinema 4d. Once you build up a solid knowledge base of techniques you can then begin to develop your own concepts and ideas. I often find inspiration just by digging through this page https://www.pinterest.com/munkowitz/ , just looking at images may spark some ideas. I guess for now, find an artist that inspires you and learn from what they are doing. You can learn a lot just by looking at a picture. That the best advice i have to offer at the moment. Good luck!
