I wish I wouldn't lose my creative spark so much..
8 years ago
I'm always trying to find ways to give me that boost I need to pick up and draw something, perhaps I just try to hard and always see everything that is incorrect instead of enjoying myself while I draw. Maybe I begin to make drawing feel like work instead of relaxing and letting my creativity flow. But I really hope I can break that barrier and really just start enjoying it for its creativity and fun! I love art so much and I need to stop setting standards on myself that begin to become a burden, it may even make everything I draw look to forced? I do certainly hope I can create a new path that can give me the enjoyment I so much want, one that will have me looking forward to sketching and drawing for the shear fun of it! Yup, I just needed to write something to ease my mind a little. Hope everybody is doing great!!! =D
Basically, when you're tired or well rested, your mind tends to "forget" things like rigid adherence to anatomical structure, and you don't feel as much pressure. If you're stuck on a piece, let it sit and come back either late at night or early in the morning, before you have a chance to wake up and beat yourself down because a line is slightly squiggly in an unnoticeable spot.
Do this for a while until you can build up your confidence and won't need to obsess over things like you may do now.
