I love it!! Thank you!

Firstly sorry to hear you're in a rut. It's honestly never fun.

There's not too much advice I can give aside from doing small doodles that don't mean much to you or you put much effort or thought in. Stuff you do'nt care that it may not look good at all. Eventuallyit kinda fixes itself.

The other trick that can help me is doing various studies, working on an art style or medium I haven't used. or a new art program. So you're focusing more on the technical study than the art itself.

Anyway I do hope you come out of it soon and there really is no pressure on my commission.

Yeah I've been doing some doodling here and there hoping it'll fix itself over eventually! >.< buh so far no luck, but I feel it might come back soon! Doing studies is a great idea! Thank you for the comment uwu

Try drawing in a new place!
I got off of my computer, and took my sketchbook up to the rooftop, and was able to draw there. Changing the environment you work in can sort of reset your brain. :)

this is a good idea, I might go sketch outside or something then ahhh uwu thank you

:( I hope you feel better soon Chu. All artists get in a rut sometimes I think. Things happen. But you'll get out of it soon, just keep pushing ~

Yeah, ruts just suck so much especially when theres nothing to distract you >.< thanks pal!

yah I just force my self

Ahh epicness!

Thank you!!!

Look up sci-fi and fantasy short films(both separately cause they tend to get confused) on YouTube! Trust me, there are Great vids of both to a scale of almost epic!

And maybe after, watch two animated films. If I had to recommend, one would be Fievel Goes West and the other Cats Don't Dance. By yourself or with someone. With ice cream.

Sorry your feeling in the way of stale and in a rut, bud.

All really good ideas, Ahhhh I love Cats Don't Dance!!! Such a good film X) Thank you <33

going out and about can refresh your mind and physical exercise also causes endorphins which makes you feel extra good about yourself.

Thats a good idea! I probably just need to leave the house more. buh!

I was going through that a few months back (still kinda am. ;.;) but what helped me get back into drawing was speed painting random objects. For me, the point was just to paint even if whatever I was drawing was drawn badly. I mostly did skulls but that helped me get back into the swing of things. Maybe try speed painting? It's fun! :D

I can't paint for beans! XD I suck at it so bad! But maybe thats a sign I should get better at it haha! #artist problems

I get like that REALLY frequently, and I suspect that I have bipolar disorder. For me, I just wait until it goes away. *lays in a corner and dies*

oh no ;__; that's not good…

Don't force yourself to draw, drawing is a huge part of an artist (obviously) and we can wear it out. Just let your mind and hands take a break, read some books, watch some anime, watch other people draw, but don't force yourself to do it and don't worry about the fact that you aren't. Just take it easy for a bit and eventually the desire will return on its own, if you force it you could end up just making it worse! The best thing is to just let the inspirations flow in, whatever you personally tend to gather it from, it usually makes me really crave drawing when I have a ton of ideas ;)

It's really hard not to worry about not doing it but you're right! I just hope I get the vibes back soon, being unmotivated is the worst XO this is a good idea though, <:3

Partly from having major depression (it's been kicking my ass for the last eight months or so), I've felt the same way. I haven't played my instruments in almost two years - hell, I haven't done any significant amount of mixing in almost a year. I've found, though, that it helps to get out. Do things you wouldn't normally do, be places you wouldn't normally be. Inspiration tends to come more easily when we're a little out of our complacent comfort zones. A little nudge, if you will.

Trust me, I'm right there with ya, Chu Chu. You're very talented, and will get out of this rut. You're too good not to!

Ahhh depression is a huge bummer I hope you feel lots better soon! Leaving the house is probably a really good idea I should definitely do that, buh! I'm such a comfort zoney person! Thank you for the comment <33

I know how you feel, don't force yourself to draw though. You'll end up hating anything you draw and cause more depression
Going for long walks in new places helps me forget about things and clear my mind

And in terms of music, I hope this cheers you up a little http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QlW9jnedoL8

Yeah I've been forcing myself and its' been a bit bland, walks sound like a good idea. And thank you for the music and comment!! <3

What always gets me moving again is jumping on something I never touch. I'm not the best with drawing humans,especially males, so I start drawing them. I usually slip up and go back to what I'm used to at one point. I suppose it's kinda odd, but it always helps me owo

practicing new stuff is always good! I need to work on females X'3

It's always a pain when you finally realize that you're better at one gender than another xD I simply love the curves of the female body, so drawing them is fun for me, males are so dang alien ;w;

I honestly know how you feel there, I've been in that position way too many times.

I would say take some time off to do something you like; play games, draw for yourself, or just have fun loafing.

For motivation though, I'm not sure what to suggest there; doing art or fan art might help since that would be for yourself and for fun. Art trades may help if you wanted to see what other people could suggest; different characters or creatures could help move things along, but that is kind of a risk as well.
I dunno if I have much in the way of music or videos, but if you like odd listening, I can recommend Night Vale, that's a fun little podcast with some nice creepy humor: http://commonplacebooks.com/

These are all really good ideas, thank you pal! And thanks for the link I'll check it out :3

Sure thing, I hope they help out. And i hope you enjoy Night Vale. :3

Sounds kind of dumb, but maybe watch another artist do a live stream? I've been thinking of picking up drawing after viewing a few.

I love watching other artists livestream! Why didn't I think of that? Thanks for the comment <3

I know that feeling, sometimes the best thing to do to feel better is just step out the house for a bit and just hangout with friends, just to make you feel better

This video, my professor showed me when I was feeling down http://youtu.be/-op-vJqNR_Y

I hope you feel better Chu Chu

Thank you for the comment and link pal <3

Trying a new genre of music might help! Good music always helps. Also gesture drawing, just fast scribbling and seeing what comes out of it.

You could also try new mediums! Like painting or sculpting. And of course another boring route to go is studying life. Drawing you pets, furniture, backyard, etc.

yesss music is great! I haven't found anything new I liked quite yet, I should do some digging. And new mediums sounds like a good idea to!

yes! I hope all that helps x3 try Pandora too
