Artist block sucks, but it doesn't have to happen to you!



I find a few things help. Going to a movie, going for a walk, reading a book. Sometimes drawing other things, either fanart for other people or drawing stuff you've been meaning to, or have been intimidated to draw. After all, you've got nothing to lose.

Last thing is to set aside a certain amount of time. Give a drawing at least 15 minutes chance to impress you before scraping it. I find you do better than originally intended.

Hmm... reading might be a good idea. As well as drawing other things... that I haven't tried. I keep trying to draw for the gallery, which is probably why I keep hitting a wall. lol

I shall try these methods. Thanks!

I've been, there before, mostly last year, well I knew what I had to draw I just didn't know how to do it If you want to make more wrestling matches, you might want to look for some wrestling videos over at youtube, always a source for inspiration for ideas, wrestling or otherwise. Look for my account over at youtube, I got tons saved as favorites if you ever need poses and match idea. I also agree with albonia don't get stuck in one drawing, it's a mistake I've been making thus progress has been halted or really slow. If an idea seems good but you just can't seem to do it, just move on, trust me it's happened as of late with some requests I got.

Yes, I definitively need to do the moving on thing. I've been trying to force myself to do the same three drawings and it's just not working at the moment.
I'll definitively look you up on youtube. Every now and then I drop in to check videos for inspiration, but I admit I haven't been doing it very often as of late.
thanks for the support

You're welcom! and what you're saying is exactly what's been happening to me! o_O Well with 4 drawings, I have inked the first one half way twice and one of my friends (or I noticed) that there's something very wrong in the anatomy and before I just been screwing up sketches, but I think I have it solved with the latest re-sketch. I am kind of in a rush to finish at least 1 of them cause I feel bad for my requester, been waiting for a long time and I got this contest coming up. I know I can do those fast though cause I got everyone's refrences quite well, and did a quick sketch of a few contestants and I got it down pretty well. As for my youtube page, here you go: [link] I got pretty much ALOT of good matches or clips (sometimes alot of these are previews for pay sites but the little bits they got are quite good)

YOUR NOT ALONE!! LOL
