Wondering if I'm just done with art.
7 years ago
Longest motivation dry spell I've ever had. But it feels like more than that. Like...nothing's inspiring me, even.
I'd at least have ideas before and a lack of motivation to make use of them. Now I see an inked piece I like and I think nothing more of it. Used to be "Ooohh, I could colour that!"
Maybe it's just the circumstance I'm in. Unstable life, job that's going to change, moral at work pretty damn low, general stress about my future...
Or maybe I'm just done.

It's worth noting though the things you brought up, do cause stress and that causes a lot of artist block. I hope things get better for you on those fronts soon!
You're one of my favorite Sally Artists ever, so I hope you don't leave art but if you do, I hope you do so for YOU not for everyone else.
I'm not a great artist but I keep hitting dry spells too. ~_~ I'll never get good hehe.
In a way, your situation sounds close to my own. Though rather than thinking about being done, my issue is feeling like I have virtually no time to myself to work on any of the ideas I have in mind.
I hope it doesn't turn out to be 'the end' for you. But if it should, you've certainly lasted a lot longer than many others I've seen come and go. And for that, I commend ya.
Good luck....
For most of us it's the one and only time we win the lottery.
That said, platitudes and reenforcing words like this rarely help. The person tends to focus on why it's not true, rather than being uplifted by it.
I did my best!
