For me Art is something i loved to do but always sucked at :(
Sadly now im at a Point in my Life where even tho i do have the Time i just feel like the “flow” has gotten completely out of me even tho i do have all these Cool Ideas :(

Like i literally have my Drawing Tablet right next to me hooked up and nope just seem to get anything on Paper even at an Cringey MSPaint Level :(

Does anyone have any Tips for it? :(
Like i woudlnt consider myself Lazy or being Ashamed of creating even Noob Lebvel ARt but yea just thats something that is annoying me right now :(

    I was there years ago. For me it was “draw X minutes a day, X days a week” and as I saw progress it helped.

    I got the idea from a few artists on videos, and one in person (Jim Lee) say something to the effect professional artists can’t wait for motivation. They just have to have a discipline of drawing / painting and the motivation or inspiration will eventually come along.

      Seconding this, sometimes you just have to sit down and draw/make even if the end result looks like shit, and even then you can rip it up, use it for collage, over paint it and make it into something else

      Maybe go on a tangent? Explore colour theory? A different medium? Look at other people’s work for inspiration?

      Even a crappy doodle can be the start of something new and interesting 👍
