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 :(

    +1 to this.

    I once heard someone say something like: “Art isn’t about being all inspired and then magically doing it. Art is about the grind. Art is hard work.”

    And this really stuck with mw because it’s so true for me. Most of it is just grinding on, on pieces that look shit and you don’t wanna do it but for me - luckely - there most often comes a turning point when it actually suddenly looks ok.

      We have a similar saying in my language that goes something like this: “The Muse (inspiration) should find you working”

      I sounded all doomer in my og comment 'cause I’ve been in a really bad place artistically the last few months, but It’s true that producing art is tough and sometimes you just gotta power through…
