My MC has 3 ahoge that are hard to draw from behind 
after so many years I guess I have to finally make some proper references from a few angles xD
Also "I used that nice brush for blank half a year ago... I wonder which one was that" opens a list of 5000 brushes, starts crying
When my cat eats my kneaded eraser a when I leave them out. Or that my kneaded eraser a always get a ton of animal fur in them! Or maybe that any of my art supplies get eaten by my dog when I leave them out. Having cats walk across my paper or my tablet as I'm drawing. The fact that I have no where to store oil paintings while they dry where animal fur won't get on it! Or when I have a full palette of paint and a cat steps on it and proceeds to track it all over the place!
And the quiet female's emerald orbs dragged slowly across the chiseled visage of the man that makes her scarlet life's liquid rush faster through her veins. Her painted lips split wide to reveal her almost pearl white teeth in a joyous reflection of her inner feelings that get evoked like wild fire any time her presence mingles with his.

She smiled at Bob.
.... Yep I know that struggle :')
I freak out every time I resize a page in Clip Studio as it pretends to freeze and threaten me with a crash to desktop.

When I'm doing traditional art, sometimes there are just those erasers that smudge instead of erase. You had ONE JOB
I do this too! I do most of my 'writing' in the shower or car, where I can speak through dialogue and conversations out loud! I jot it down afterwards.
Old age school students tip: clean the eraser first by rubbing it on the nearby wall (or any surfaces that won't dirty the eraser), it will scrape the troublesome part that will make the smudge.
Also, I believe in Pentel eraser superiority.
Some panels I dread making so much that I hold off on drawing them until the very last minute. Including backgrounds.
top 10 art related problems that I've (stupidly) done:
Dipping the paint tube in the solvent instead of the brush 
Fortunately, I have not yet tried to drink the solvent. 
Yeah! This is the reason why I have my own bathroom at my house. I even opted for a higher-price, cramped storage-like dorm room on my last college. Although the dorm room literally looks like a CR (Comfort Room. Don't know what term other countries use but it's like lavatory) up to the walls, I still went for it because that's the only place available with a bathroom (bathroom = CR).
I, most of the time, spend 2 hours inside and sometimes if the scene is intense, it'll take 5. It's to the point that I dread going to the bathroom sometimes because I don't know what'll happen once I'm inside.
When I was at my dorm, I usually wake up at 3 in the morning even though my classes starts at 7. And I'll only have enough time to put on my uniform - no makeup, no combing. wet like a chicken, off I go to school. I HATE MY BRAIN FOR AUTOMATICALLY PLAYING A SCENE ONCE I STEP INSIDE THE BATHROOM URRRGH!
FWIW I label all of my layers (mostly because I don't want the program telling me how many layers I've got -- it can be scary) and I STILL DO THIS.
Forgot about a semi-huge artist problem I had last year (and am still dealing with a little bit right now): supply shortages.
This isn't an issue for digital artists (unless your tablet dies, in which case, you're outta luck...), but I spent half of last year wrestling with getting refills for my Copic markers, because Copic was redesigning them, and that, combined with the pandemic, meant that basically everything was out/unavailable or in extremely short supply for months. It's better now, the new refills are finally available for the most part, but there was a while there where I was out or nearly out of like ten critical colors, including several skin tones I rely on heavily.
How many colors have I had to wrestle with getting my hands on? Well, since last year, I've replaced 44 colors. I'm still waiting on two that have been infuriatingly hard to find. (YG13 and YG41, fwiw.)
...sometimes it'd be nice to just be able to use a color selector, not gonna lie. XD

Writing
@Rocksteady_Comics I went to sleep once, forgetting my apple pencil was on my bed. That thing's $100!
@migxmeg I've tried to pinch zoom and rotate paper before too
@WhateverTheTurtle that happens to me everytime I'm in a situation where I can't write or draw
@Yulek That's the curse of school settings, even universities. I think I'd die trying to attempt an auditorium or lecture hall.
Stupid writer brain problem:
"Yeah, this music is perfect! Choreographing this fight scene in my head is so easy right now."
Song ends.
"Welp, I guess I'll never get that flow back without that music now. Time to listen to it on repeat and struggle to sync up the scene futilely for an hour before begrudgingly finishing it in silence."
