Oh well here we go. As one nice guys said - Im overworked. It seems totally because I cant draw. I wish to draw but when I`m trarting to doodle - thats it. Frustration - " Oh my God how dere you? Stop making shit and do something uselfull!" - my inner dialog says. Traditional, digital, craft - any kind of art makes me feel shitty each time I try to make something even for me personally D:
I dunno what to do..This has never happend to me before and Im in some sort of panic.
So please, guys, give me some advices or I dunno what else? Mybe morivation? Oh...Im so srry for complaing -_- But I really worry about all this shit. I still need to stay in touch with people and help some guys with designs and other art stuff but I just cant.
And Vorona has problems with internet connection so we even cant finish some comissions stuff. Of course he`s drawing all what he need to draw, but we cant upload it untill hiw internet we be repaired <__<

maybe don't do art for a lil while, maybe a week or so, try to get that drive back.
Another thing you could do as well, is to experiment and branch out into other things. Try out some new stuff, have some fun! Maybe try animation after your break? Who knows!

All I can do is give you advices that MIGHT work, it depends.
When I need to create something, for work, school or anything, and it just doesn't work, I take a step back. I either go do something entirely different or just relax and do nothing while trying to not think about what has to be done (hence why it is better to find something to do rather than nothing). I return to the work after this complete break, sometimes it helps.
Another thing I do sometimes is to try and work at a complete different times that I usually do. I know I am more productive in the afternoons, but if it doesn't work, I'll try to wake up early and do it then or stay up at night and do it then. Sometimes it works, surprisingly, especially the latter one because I keep telling myself no sleep until I am at a certain point. :P
I wish you good luck on finding a solution though!
Also, since I got a few commissions from you, if it helps, I am impatient to see them, but I do not require them any time soon, so as long as you keep us(all the commissioners) up to date, I'll be happy and maybe that will push some of that stress away?
Take care!
Taking a break could help too. But I know all through out the mean time you are just thinking about what you need to get done, and that is just frustrating too.
Could go out of your comfort zone and draw something, or have watchers make suggestions - that way if you doesn't turn out 100% how you like it, that is okay because it's something new so you can't beat yourself up vs per se if you draw an anthro canine, but can't cause you've drawn it 99 times and you should be able to without fail by now. If I am explaining that right xD;;
I hope it gets better!
Like, say I NEEDED to do a digital commission an just could not work through it. I would then try to relax and do some pottery until my head could get back on track.
Music is also a good thing to groove to. If you do not normally listen to music when you work, try doing some doodles while listening to some of your favorite songs.
If none of these work, try taking a few days off. Go to the movies, do stuff that will keep you busy and that you enjoy doing. Go swimming, ice skating. Whatever will help you relax and get your mind off of this.
