How Does One Overcome Artist's Block? (EDIT)

Tue Sep 15, 2009, 1:15 PM
So, have you ever had one of those times where everything you draw comes out as absolute rubbish? That seems to be happening to me. I don't know if it because I have been stressed or being a bit emotional, but I can't seem to draw anything worthwhile. I mean, I enjoy drawing and I enjoy putting my work up on DeviantArt for people to see and comment on but if it isn't good enough by my standards then I get frustrated and end up not enjoying it anymore.
So my question is, how does one get out of this?

EDIT - - -

Okay, new plan. Post anything random or creative that you think I should draw. I seriously can't get any ideas. So post post post!

Any help greatly appreciated :)

You talk about it with a friend, try to pinpoint your block point, and try to fix it. That's my opinion.

Hmm yeah. I talked to my boyfriend a bit about it, but I could talk it over with my best friend as well. Thanks for the advice :)

Just don't worry about it and it will get better quite soon :) It's not something you have to fight but embrace. If you approach it relaxed and calm you will come out a better artist out of it :) It's completely natural, don't worry, happens to everyone :hug:
