I will gladly donate my body to the noble cause of stamping out the heartbreak of What To Draw disorder ^_^

...ok, I just wanna be drawn, but my heart's in the right place, right? :3

Yes, your heart is definitely in the right place, Takota. But since that is sorta internal and not easily visible without some very unpleasant stuff being done to you, I think I'll just focus on the more visible aspects of your anatomy. Please send your "donation" along. I'll pay for the postage.
;)

*giggles and gets in a package with your adress* Shouldn't cost you too much, I've been losing weight ;3

*laughs* I'll be waiting. :D

Ah the eternal burning question :) I usually end up thinking of things I could draw for friends or asking them what they might want to see (if I'm truly stymied). Hope you can find more things to draw Lionus *hugs*

I usually do, Indagare. Things around the house that are mostly boring; typing e-mail, mowing the lawn, listening to particular types of music for instance. Then it's just slipping off the chains of my imagination and seeing where it takes me with those subjects. I am very often surprised with the results.
:)

Heh, i know that feeling veeery well since it happened to me pretty much everytime i've wanted to draw for the past 2-3 years. :P

It's only recently my imagination seems to have woken up so i'm drawing pretty much every night now, heh. =)

May you NEVER EVER AGAIN have to experience another dry spell Torque.
:)

Oh, that's me sometimes as well:p Good capture^^, Taken right before the pencil slips and almost hits your eye:p hehe

*actually bursts out laughing at the thought -- which has often happened to me*

Thanks for the good laugh, Kaine.
:D

Kitties!
Can never go wrong with kitties!
And pandabears. Can't really go wrong with them either.
To lessen the chance of doing wrong even more.. one can draw BOTH! X3

Ahh, but what are those kitties and pandabears doing? Hmmm? That's usually the problem.
;)

What a silly question.. Juggling goslings ofcourse! X3

Of course. :)

Heh, I've been like that every now and then. c.c

I think we all have, Seven, and usually come out of it eventually. But since we know what it feels like to be suffering a 'dry spell' then it's a subject that should be drawn up occasionally if for no other reason than there's an audience out there that will be nodding their heads and saying, 'Yeah, I've been like that every now and then".
:D

Lunch break drawing sucks. You get in the groove and you have to clock back in. XD

Praise be for the comment! :)

Ah and that's where we learn to draw quickly and try to capture the essence of the subject in the time we have.

Sorta like Life me thinks.
;)

Draw quickly? Never. It's blasphemy. XD

no, I'm not anal . . . . >.>

UGH...thats' really irritating...it happens to me many times......but hey it's all part of creativity right?

I honestly wish I could understand what it was exactly that occasionally blocks me. Is it some sort of subconscious rebellion on my mind's part against my drawing only furry subjects? Is it because my creativity (subconscious) is bored with those subjects and wants me to do something that IT finds interesting?

I find an answer of sorts in doing random subjects that occasionally are later turned into full-fleged furry pictures such as “What To Draw”. That apparently pleases my creative spirit enough so that in the end I only rarely go through the dreaded "dry spell".

hmmm that could be it....maybe u were runni out of ideas of what themes to draw for ur pics...or what should ur character do in the pic...so maybe ur mind was brainstormin ideas to make one good one!

heh* with me, it's normally quite the contrary: i have ideas galore, but either not the time or the muse/right mood setting for it.
of course, a hot summer making me stick to everything with sweat is most likely bound to dry up my creative juices for a while. :)

*nods in agreement* The time of the year also can contribute to not wanting to draw. Sticking to the paper is not helpful to either you or your Muse. :D

*Smiles* i gent in those moods to often, wonderign what to draw next. cool pic! :)

From what you post in your gallery it does not seem as though you have any real problem coming up with a interesting subjects, FirestormSix.
:)

I have been lately.. *Grins* :P

Wow. . . the thinking lion XD GREAT Sir ^^

Now there is a perfect example of having a subject for drawing coming to one. Your comment "the thinking lion". That caused me to think of Rodan's sculpture "The Thinker" which might make an interesting drawing.

Merci, Beritz. :)

Not a problem, it's a pleasure for me. I'm veey happy for give to you an inspiration. ^_^

XD I hate that except with me its writting. You get the unmistakable WRITE explosion in your head and then go blank. Great work.

Oh I think that "dry spells" occur to most of us in the Arts whether it's drawing, writing, sculpting, or composing music. You've shown your writing talents very well, Nine, by described it so well. "You get the unmistakable WRITE explosion in your head and then go blank".
:D

Dealing with one's creativity is like trying to deal with a willful six-year-old. You can't beat them into doing what you want, you have to think around their stubbornness and either cajole them out of it or turn your back on them and ignore them until they come around to getting your attention again by doing what you wanted from them in the first place.
:)

XD great metaphor! But I do beat my muse, with lots of fast techno music, caffine, and then some inspiring movies. Seems to work. :)

It sucks when that happens! XD

*nods in agreement* Then it's just time to go do something else, Bob. Even housework helps.
:)

it actually does XD better than watch TV ;)

Heh, how recursive! Drawing thinking about what you want to draw.

That's the problem with us self-analytical people. We think about the fact that we're thinking about something. Sorta like seeing our image in a mirror looking into the mirror with a mirror behind us reflecting the image of us looking into a mirror an infinity of times. Try posing that to your Creativity and it'll be darn happy to just produce furry drawings, HA!
:D

LOL i hate it when i get artist block!! what i do is star t playing my fav. music that usually inspires alot of stuff!!!>#3

That's usually one of the best ways to deal with it, Cinheartshuskys. Give your mind something for it to process in the way of free-form ideas. Food for your Muse. Even your muse gets hungry occasionally.
;)

hehe great pic lionus ^^
artists block sucks >.>

Thanks Cooki. We all get it and probably have our own ways of digging out of it.

Another way for me is to go to the mall and look at the diversity of things there. Joke shops are a gold mine of ideas. That and poster shops.
:)

joke shop is a good idea ^^
i usually just stare at the computer until i get ideas ^^

Grrrrrrr.
:)

Hee.... Oddly enough that reminds me of me when I am having a writer's block.

Keep up the good work

*chuckles* Yeah, we all run into that block every so often. I merely turned that particular “lemon” into the proverbial “lemonade”.
:)

Thanks.

Why on earth didn't I comment on this one? I must have just faved then wandered off sorry! This is awsome! And I totally agree!!

No apologies necessary, Stevenc. As enjoyable as receiving them are, I'm not in it for collecting favs. What I am in art for is to make people think, or laugh, or in some way enjoy being themselves through the feelings that hopefully my art awakens in them. Favs to me are a way for viewers' to "applaud" the success in my artwork in doing that.

Heh, and sometimes silly drawings like this one achieve that distinction.

Thanks.

You're welcome!! I like your silly pics, all your art is very enjoyable. I really like this one because as artist we've all sat there waiting for insperation to finally drop in(and it usually takes its sweet time too!) Can't wait to see more of your awsome art!!

Thank you.

You're very welcome!
