Always & Forever
I've been drawing as far back as I can remember. It was always something enjoyable for me and I found it to be a great stress-reliever...kindof an escape from some of the garbage that was going on in my life at the time. Unfortunately that seems to have changed. Lately doing art has become extremely irritating, and I really don't like what I'm able to produce 8 times out of 10 (Y'all don't see the piles of crumpled drawings over here...)
Perhaps I've been working with the same materials for too long and I just need to switch things back to colored pencils for awhile to reignite that spark. I dunno. Maybe it boils down to stress and bouts of insomnia taking their toll. If that's the case I'm hoping things will get better after Quin & I get married and he moves in with me, which should hopefully be pretty soon. Still a few things hanging in the balance that are making it tough to set a date.
Anywho, short version is I don't think I'm going to just give up drawing altogether (that'd be kind of a shame). I just need to regroup.

Nothing I seem to draw comes out right and that is even if I get the inspiration TO draw anything. I've just been.. meh about it all.
I hope it gets better for you! Maybe we will both come out of it soon.
Either way, taking a break for a while might be good for you! I think about art constantly lately and I think that's what's stressing me out. I think I need to just forget about it for a while and do other things.
Either way, best of luck to you! C: and I hope you and Quin are very happy together <3
Really hope you'll be designing you guys' wedding cake, assuming it can be made "Synth safe".
Slow down and focus on yourself for a while. I mean, you are the bride to be.
=( I hope my rambling somewhat helps.
when i first lost it i went from digital to traditional with pens
then when that dried up ive moved onto coloured pencils
now thats gone cold i use both, i've been filling and filling sketch books and now im hoping to move back onto my digital colouring
ITS ALL ABOUT KEEPING IT FRESH!
i find i useually that my art suffers when i'm down or stressed (which is very often these days)
Definitely been down and stressed lately, but hopefully that'll lighten soon once Mr. Rudderbutt gets here <3
Mine has happened due to being forced to do art i don't wanna do for college :/
Maybe changing materials would be good maybe you just need to take a break, regroup, then try again when you feel that urge to make magic on paper (:
And congratulations on you and your man getting married i wish you all the best (: xxx
Because it is what you do your arts amazing :) xxx
A little unnerving to say the least
