can't draw
16 years ago
Pretty much I feel like I can't draw anymore
I let it go too long. I'm completely lost.
I have been trying to learn and do things right and I lost how I used to be able to just draw things. I can't ever draw my favourite personal character. I pretended forever that animal people were stupid and I didn't need to draw them but I can't shake it. I love it. And I can't do it. Look at my gallery, it's so random.
I have been an artist for my entire life and I have no body of work. I feel like I have a ton of puzzle pieces but no part of the puzzle completed.
I feel like I need some kind of training to go anywhere but that's not an option for me. I need to figure it out as a hobby but it requires a ton of personal drive and commitment and kicking my own ass but I need to use that for my master's degree right now. In the mean time how do I continue to pursue my hobby when I feel like I've lost the ability to draw for fun?

Maybe just assemble a portfolio? It doesn't matter what you draw and It'll give you a goal.

I'll try to do that.
How many pieces do I need? :)
If you've made a commitment to do your Master's degree, then it's reasonable that you might not have the time or energy (right now) to be self-teaching a whole course in graphic arts.
And the randomness? That's probably an indication you *have* been self-teaching yourself graphic arts. That's a standard art teaching thing, forcing a student to try a large variety of subjects and styles, to loosen you up and expose you to new visual ideas. Then you realize that all the new, strange, random art stuff you have done is slipping into your original interests (furry critters?) and blending into your own unique style. If you are lucky & skilled, this randomness will blend-in many times in your life.
