Omg I feel the same way. 

I just can't make myself draw again. It's been months and whenever I try again there is no joy or no passion while doing it. 

I don't know what is going on. But whenever I am very busy at school/work I suddenly feel motivated to doodle random stuff. But at home during my free time I can't make myself do it. 

I sometimes wonder if it is the exhaustion that is stopping me or if only the thrill of doing something not related to work makes me draw. 



Wait your onto something, maybe it's like the idea of doing it because when I actually finally make time to do it I just have a blank stare. When I was younger I just drew all the time and I didn't care what it was. Now I just think about all of the things I could do and then when I actually go to it seems so pointless. If I'm being honest it feels totally empty. The most I can do in years is draw a flower and call it a day which sounds so silly, I don't know why but it's always a flower.

Have you tried different media? 

Maybe a new artistic hobby or something fresh. Maybe that could motivate you to do a hobby without feeling forced to draw. 

I think one thing that is stopping me from drawing is my phone. My brain sees my phone and social media as an opportunity. I sometimes wonder if I lock away my phone I could be more motivated to do a hobby or draw.

I was thinking of that, I started coloring in coloring books with crayons just to get myself to do something. I'm also guilty of turning to social media for dopamine because it's too easy.
