☆ Hello! ☆
Hey Everybody!,
Been a couple of months since I've posted a journal / update.
Nothing too exciting, but I did find a cheap Steelbook I've been searching for for a long time for an affordable price.
So selling some designs to hopefully round up enough money to grab it. I'll need roughly $28 USD for item(s) I want.

☆ Art Blocked / Freebies? ☆
I've been under an awful art block for a couple months now, just been unmotivated.
And hating on my style, and never happy with the results of my work. I'm tried playing around with styles.
But still uhhappy with the final results, so I think I might open up some freebies to my followers. To see if I can push out some art and finally start posting again.
So drop me a ref and if you like share some advice that helps you out of a funk?.
I think part of the reason is just feeling blah/depressed. But any advice would be awesome!.
☆ Questions ☆
1) What Helps you get Motivated to draw again / Cure Art block
2) Seen any good Movies / TV Shows lately if so what ones?.
3) Who is your current favorite OC of yours?

My situation is a little different from yours' as I'm a musician and audio engineer, but I am an "artist" nonetheless.
1. When I get stuck in a rut and can't motivate myself, I take a little break and absorb the styles around me. Watch what other people do and try to replicate is with my own unique twist. Just let it come to you, you can't force creativity :3
2. I've recently been watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and I love it. It's outrageous, and I love cheesy adult humor stuff like that.
3. If by OC you mean original character, then my first fursona, Akuba, is definitely my favorite :3 V V V V V

The first thing is; art block often makes way for improvement. Sometimes when you're just stuck and you can't figure out why you cannot draw anything you can stand it's because your brain is processing a certain bit of information and trying to figure out how to signal your hand to create it. So don't let art block discourage you, instead let it motivate you.
Instead of trying to create polished pieces, I often use this time to draw many different things, sometimes as many as I can stand. This helps my hand work out the kinks, and my eyes to realize what it is I am doing that I just don't like so much.
I suggest doing all of these WITHOUT the use of an eraser or eraser tool if you're drawing on the computer. Sketch your heart out; none of these need to be seen by anyone but you.
Other suggestions: When you get off your art block, try redrawing the first thing you drew when your art block started. // Try drawing things you don't normally draw, like backgrounds or objects such as food or plants. // Try to fill an entire page with little doodles so almost no empty spots remain. // Scribble on a page, and with a different color or darker pencil strength draw what you see in the scribbles. // Try a drawing challenge and remember it's supposed to be a challenge and used for practice, not perfection. (Good suggestions for this are drawing in a variety of styles or trying to draw the same character multiple times with multiple angles or expressions while keeping your style as similar as possible.) // Last but not least, if none of these seem to be working it doesn't hurt to 'act like a kid again' and bust out some coloring book pages and just have fun with doing different techniques.
2) Seen any good Movies / TV Shows lately if so what ones?.
Fresh off the Boat (TV) this shit is hilarious and everything I wanted in a TV show I never knew I was missing.
Burn Notice (TV) Spy as heck man. Spy as heck.
3) Who is your current favorite OC of yours?
