Depression? Anger? About personal art.
6 months ago
I have been dealing for a long time with the issue of trying to get back into drawing kink stuff for fun again, because it's very weird, like
I used to be able to pick a character, figure out something fast for them, and draw something in like an hour or two, and I was happy getting to do that! But now if I think of an idea, I don't know what to do with it visually, or like I do figure something out but it stagnates for months or years, and I can't do my own thing the way I used to.
Like I can think of a lot of normal art ideas pretty easily every day, and I still have a passion drawing like ideas friends share with me and such, but yea, for some reason drawing my own kink stuff for fun has been a struggle, one that I still have not cracked, and I have no idea why. Like maybe I'm depressed, and the only thing I can do is work on non-kink stuff for a bit, and maybe that'll help. Or maybe I need to find something that will help me find that fun in drawing this stuff I used to again. Or maybe I'm only good for visualizing other people's ideas, and I should just stick with that and expend my own personal creative energy solely on normal things. I don't know.
I still enjoy drawing this stuff a lot, I just don't feel that fun like I used to exactly, like 4, 5 years ago.

I can relate. Remember, it's normal and a good sign if you grow over the years - you may not be the same person you were then, but that's okay.
