Anyone have advice for art block?
8 years ago
I've been feeling really disenchanted / uninspired with my art lately and am wondering how to deal with it. I can't seem to motivate myself at all.
If you are someone who has experienced these feelings and overcome them, what do you recommend?

unfortunately the only cure for art block seems to be powering through it :/
the site i used was this:

There are also some kinds of game that help with getting creativity going, like building games.
All I ever do is wait it out, for me the phases where I'm really itching to draw something are way worse.
(Looking at idea generators is also fun though! I don't often immediately draw anything off of them, but I'll bookmark a few favorites for future reference. I also have a folder where I collect idea generators, so I can totally toss a few at ya if you're curious :V )
http://spipes.deviantart.com/art/Th.....ator-190882155 This is a simple & fun one for animal fusions. Just for 2-part fusions, but I like the wide variety of animals in the database, and it also has a nice image search button that instantly opens 2 tabs with results.

Just a fun & simple way to spit out some random character designs to riff on. ^^
the site Seventh Sanctum also has a nice selection of idea generators! But I think that one is a little more well known, so you may have heard of it.
In general, I also like to find doll makers that have randomize buttons. Sometimes I like to tinker around with designs that get spit out of those ^^; Or even customize something myself & then improve it to my liking in a redraw.
I find that when I am not out doing things I have nothing to write about and I just kinda don't.
