I do art from time to time. My philosophy towards art might be different from yours, so mileage may vary.
I typically find that the sheer open endedness of creative art makes it hard to truly get into and put serious effort into, and it was only when I learned the proper techniques of drawing that creative art became more approachable. I think sometimes, people subconsciously get a bit of decision paralysis, and having a more structured approach to art helps you get into it more easily.
If that sounds vaguely like you, then what could really help is to start off with some still life art. Just search on Google images random flowers, animal, objects, etc. Then spend around 15 minutes trying to recreate the image as accurately as possible. The trick is to pace yourself so that you don’t nitpick tiny details, but still spending enough time on it to get the sketch down accurately. This sort of practice helps build drawing technique, but also helps you develop an artistic sense for space and scale - skills that you can then apply to creative art to help it feel more structured
