Drawing is not what it used to be...
13 years ago
There used to be a time where lots and lots of pictures were forming in my head that eventually got drawn out. It used to be so much fun to doodle and to see how a sketch got turned into a full picture of one my characters. But for some reason or another, it just doesn't work out any more for me.
What's particularly frustrating for me is the lack of motivation and ideas. I thought it was just some kind of block and that I'll get over it or something but it has been going on for months now and nothing really changed. I really have to force myself to finish a picture or even come up with an idea to start with. What's even worse is that it also starts to happen with my stories and it feels as if I'm losing grip on my characters. It's the reason why I envy and look up to the people who are doing commissions for their creativity. They make it seem so easy to draw an idea out...
I really, really don't want this to be end of my drawings and writings but it feels as if it already ended months ago and I'm really desperate to go back to the way it once was. Perhaps this block takes a lot longer than any blocks I've ever had before but it feels as if I've already drawn out everything I can about my characters, like theirs nothing to draw out any more. And I know that's rubbish because there's always something I can try but the lack of motivation and inspiration makes it just so much more difficult...
So perhaps its wise to take a break and leave it alone for a while and maybe ideas start coming back. Or not... Either way, it certainly isn't fun... If anyone who is reading this have tips to beat this major block, please share them with me.
Also got a friggin' headache right now because of all this... Bah...
