You put pen to paper and butt stuff magically appears

yeah youd think, right?

You're telling me... that's not how it works?

Just start doodling. Draw random things you want to draw. ^_^

If the "everything is bad all the time" thing is related to news in the real world, just start avoiding social media and news websites because they are designed to depress and enrage people to keep them addicted. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss.

yeah, maybe... but thats kinda like telling someone whos depressed to "just cheer up!"
i have tried to do this a few times and nothing comes out.

do drugs and forget which program you use and just pull up mspaint or gimp

i have no drugs, though. life is pain. :>

Copious amounts of weed and making out with other friends while listening to vibe music and then drawing when your muse slaps you upside the head and tells you to because you can temporarily see into the infinite and have magical powers to illustrate like never before.

i hate weed though.
i guess i will just eat many fentanyls

Well damn. Well I guess you can drink or something instead? I just don't like the fire belly and pissing constantly. Careful with the fenta, that shit'll ruin reality on its backswing in ways almost nobody is ready for. Wouldn't touch it unless you know you have a friend that can overpower you who're able to put on orders to do so while you come down off it.

Start with a pun that makes you giggle and then turn it into porn

I dunno.
Maybe do only things that make you happy, if that's possible. Might not be artwork for a while.
