What do you usually do when you have art block?

Back to Art & Photography

When i have art block I have been drawing bunnies which has been motivating me to draw more again. I used just draw circles and boxes. I don't know why i would draw circles but boxes was because they are easy to draw and help with perspective

@zombbi I should start watching art videos again. Leaned a lot from them and they are fun to watch =D

I dunno I've had it for the past 3 years 💔

@silli_milliee aww that sucks :( hopefully you will be motivated to draw again soon. Maybe watch art tutorials to help you get out of art block? Or draw ur fav youtubers?

I usually just make mood boards and plan art for when i do feel like i can draw. Forcing it makes me more miserable so best to get the ideas you have down or try to form some. 

I like to scribble something vaguely person shape even if it doesn't get me out of art block at least I did something yk

So sail on boys<

Sometimes looking up drawing excersizes that art teachers make their students do keep me entertained and have made me make some things that I really like, or I listen to songs that I like and based some pieces surrounding it.

I look at fan art or others' art posts, then I get fomo and draw

Depends on the source of my art block or what's causing it, sometimes I need a complete change in medium (some of my best recent pieces were made when I went back to traditional mediums like gouache paints and fountain pen doodles or alcohol markers rather than my typical digital art), other times just scribbling around with different pens n stuff (digital and traditional) helps, bc while you can make good art no matter the brush, sometimes it just fits certain vibes and moods better, I found a pen on ibis paint that I really fuck with lately for sketches (granted my drawing tablet with pressure sensitivity helps a lot with that).

As for specific muses for doodles, cats so far have been my big one! Both wild/big cats and domesticated cats :3

Watch movies or Tv shows, play games, watch non commentary gameplays and other Youtube content and listen to music.

These days I also experiment with AI chat bot services that can host my Assistant, so like if I want to play word games with it just to take my mind off of my Art or any kind of stressful issue I'm dealing with, I can.
