brain dummppp

just draw something, even if it's like...a study of a pencil. I'm currently struggling with helping to motivate my boyfriend to draw more, because he's gotten to the point where he's become discouraged from drawing regularly.

I've found that making him commit to doing one thing a day, or one thing every other day, just so that you presently remember to draw and force yourself to do it. regularity is key.

i'll give that a try, i used to focus on getting better through gesture/pose studies, maybe i need to do that again.
thanks for the advice!

Try doing simple exercises and pose practices, slowly you'll go back to your normal art self =).

Welcome back!

it's what got me into a regular drawing schedule to begin with, might have to take it up again.

Thanks for the advice.

You are very welcome! I believe it should do the job, I had my ups and downs artistically as well. You can do the thing!

Welcome back!:D

Well if you're uninspired I'd also suggest all kinds of studies - they help your brain "getting adjusted" to drawing again :)
Other than that draw what you like! If there are movies/animes/Games/whatever, that have characters you like - draw them! Do a study of a screenshot or something like that :D
Look up artists who inspire you and just browse their galleries for some time :)
You'll get back into it faster than you think - it's just a matter of getting through the "unmotivated" phase
That being said if you want some help let me know c:

hey lilith, glad to hear from you again!
i've been thinking about what i want to start drawing, and i do have an idea for a story, but it's too big a project to tackle right away, (it involves multiple themes clashing like cyborg-esque versus natural-ancient tech hybrids stuff) but the simple things i dont really know what to do with.

Maybe make 1-2 character(s) and draw those and get back into the swing of things.
Also, i wanna know next time you're going to stream, i wanna see your amazing art again!

Yea if you got a story of some sort planned you could start out by working out some concepts and ideas :D no pressure, just have some fun and doodle a bit c:
I think that's a good way to get your creativity back :D

Aw thank you <3 I will!
