Art is Hard
11 years ago
Drawing has been really tough on me these few years. i feel discontent with my art. I feel like quitting. I lose energy immediately when my pencil hits the paper. I don't know what to do anymore at this point. I don't even have a scanner or a tablet anymore to show the massive piles of drawings I've done. I really want to connect with my friends on this site, I've been away and I miss you all. I feel like quitting art everyday even though i keep trying.
I also like playing the guitar and I'm the same there too. When I draw or play I don't even know what I am doing. I'm not sure I can even learn to draw or play anymore. I love drawing and playing but I just can't reach the vision that is in my head. This on top of some big personal problems in my life that I am just starting to get out of. I have depression and it has really been punching me i the stomach. I am taking a step in the right direction so I feel great about that.
But all the while I have been battling my art and music difficulties on top of it all. I just finally thought to express it here to anyone who may watch me. Thank you for watching me.
Drawing. I just don't get it anymore. It upsets me. Just venting because I've never vented before and it feels good.
Thank you all.

Sounds to me you might have inspiration issues. I think the best thing to do is try other stuff in your routine. Take a chance and maybe find new shows or games you never tried. Try a completely different form of music to get into and play.
Give your characters a whole new angle you never explored. Think sbout them moving and breathing. Stuff like that.
Art is haard for me too. I have college so I have little time to draw. Practice is hard to get around doing.
