ART BLOCK - Why You Have It And How To Cure It

Some artists claim art block doesn't exist, some say it's an excuse. I think it's a funk, for a lack of a better term... here are THREE reasons why you MIGHT have art block and THREE ways to help you overcome art block. At least... a few tricks that work for me. No guarantees, but I hope they help!
Good luck out there!

Y'all ever just forget how to draw

[@gachaash3467]

yes its painful.

[@angie-ve2ds]

i used to be the best artist in my school, then i lost my courage. i didnt involve myself with art for 5 months and after that, i tried to come back but completely lost it. i tried to draw, but i couldn’t draw anything. i imagine an image and i draw it in my head, its great, but then when i try to draw it, i started drawing then it just didnt work, it all just became some 5 year olds little drawing. i got it rushed and it looked nothing like what i wanted. i became lazy and didnt do it no matter how hard i pushed myself i was just so lazy and discouraged i couldnt complete the drawing. i ended up completing it by rushing it and drawing stickmen. i still have this problem and it only gets worse, whenever i try to use these stuff that she recommended it just makes it worse so i just gave up drawing, even though its my favorite hobby.

[@StarStarParty]

Being art blocked is a great time to work on fundamentals. I've found the largest part of my art block is when I am noticing my art isn't coming out as well as I'd hope. Looking up tutorials or how-to guides are nice because you don't have to come up with ideas, leaving your brain more energy to learn and re-evaluate how to get some nice looking results. If your art block results from seeing "bad" work, doing studies and honing your skills is helpful! I completely relate to the big life changes = art block. Our minds need time to process huge shifts in our lifestyle or environment, which means adding the critical element of art making can just not WORK when we are overwhelmed with new situations.

[@elk3407]

StarStar Party Often when I have art block, I practice a little bit of the fundamentals, then force my way through a drawing. Often this is when I have a major style shift, or the quality of my art majorly improves.

[@carnydave139]

StarStar Party 🎉

[@chockitkat3776]

Okay that is true. Whenever I have art block I do some studies and the art just gets better. Maybe it's time to do studies again!!

[@71degrees]

Agreed. Artists are usually deeply affected by environmental changes.

[@legoworkshop2908]

A lot of artist I meet, I feel like a lot of their excitement for drawing is being forced. Growing up, I've always loved drawing and was fortunate enough to also be pretty decent at it. Anyway my point is, art for me is a freeing medium, just something to express myself through. I never forced myself to draw if I didn't feel like it nor did I ever feel the need to, I just did it whenever I felt like it. Art should be freeing, not a restraint!

[@sir1179]

this really opened my eyes. i’ve always felt as though i needed to constantly draw or i would lose my skills and become bad at it. i realize how unhealthy that is. keeping that constant pressure on myself like that

I've been trying to make my own cartoon characters. But it is so hard to redraw the same character over and over again and make them look alike, it is also hard to even create new ones. So my question is, how were you able to create your own characters? ... If that makes any sense

[@mr.morronic2099]

I have the same problem, but I think I've solved mine. All I've done is... So I draw the character, and then look at it and try to make it as close as the original as possible. Then I would do the same thing but with different expressions. Keep doing that for a couple of days and your hand will know what you're trying to draw. After I tried doing some new poses. I draw cartoon comics I guess, and that's what I've been doing. Sometimes my hand gets tired of drawing the same thing over and over, but you just got to push yourself and play around. You'll get it. Don't give up! 😊

[@keyah010]

Franchesca's Life thank you so much, I'm going to try this method out, hopefully it works for me because I have so many comic ideas but never have the confidence to draw them 😊

[@mr.morronic2099]

Tkeyah Windrom your welcome! If this helps, my art style is kind of just little mini chibi people with round hands and black eyes, I don't really take the time to use color. For coloring, I just try and make some parts of the characters black. (Not trying to be racist) Youll get better in drawing, I promise! Just keep practicing! 😊

[@mr.morronic2099]

Tkeyah Windrom also if you run out of comic ideas, what I do is try to think of something funny that happened to my life, or take a little inspiration from already made comics from other people

[@keyah010]

Franchesca's Life I've also been drawing chibi characters in my comics because I find it so much easier to draw their little bodies lol and their hands are soooooo easy to draw

Here's something about artblock. When you're stressed, you can't do anything and if you try it ends up being bad. And noticing that you have an artblock going on can easily lead to more and more stress. So instead of battling the artblock, try your best to get rid of the stress. Do whatever you feel like doing, even if it's nothing, and get back to art once you feel like it.

Art is making something that wasn’t there before. If you doodle on a piece of paper that’s art, if you make a 10m sculpture that’s art, if you sing, dance or cook that’s art. Art is in our blood and we don’t need to fear it. I am an artist helping guide people into a creativity they are comfortable with, in my case watercolour and pencil painting, and my channel is doing well as people discover the value of just doing it. No judgment, just make something.

Art block Is just frustrating. My problem I get is I want to draw but I don’t know what to draw and/or I can’t draw well or I just don’t want to draw.

[@stellarr_joy]

I’m a digital painter, most of me pieces take around 5-8 hours to complete. This isn’t a huge problem because I tend to have lots of free time (I don’t have friends :)) but late last year I started sharing my art on social media. I managed to gain 70k+ followers on tiktok, and most of them expect a new painting or something every few days. Honestly the the expectation of having to have a new art piece art stresses me out. Lately, I’ve been trying to rush and get stuff done, which is making the art come out bad and make me even for stressed. Last week was especially hectic, so this week I kinda just want to take a long relaxing break, and hopefully I’ll be back up on my feet next week.

I've had an art block for about 3 years, now. It's really painful. And it spans ALL of my art forms: writing, scripting, jewelry, drawing/painting and wood burning. Sewing or crocheting (which is more my mom's thing) aren't really an option. I'm REALLY bad at it. It would just stress me out more. I have tried pushing through it. Tried ignoring it. Tried working with/around it.... Nothing works. It just adds to my depression.... I know mostly WHY I am blocked. But I haven't figured out how to get around it. Anyway- your video was ok. It just doesn't seem to have given me ideas to work around it. But thank you, anyway.

So it's always been my normal. For a fix: sometimes just buying a new pen or some fresh paper can help. Maybe a new lamp or moving your art space. Sometimes just looking at old drawings will get it going, or visiting an art gallery, or looking at art online. Good luck to everyone 🖐👁👁

I've had a two year art block... So much time I've missed out on practice and expression

[@kdbee1258]

school took ALL my motivation and inspiration to draw. Even though school is over for me, I haven’t been feeling like drawing for a while🥲

I’m dealing with art block right now.. it sucks TT^TT

[@lars6595]

I draw things and I sketch, but when I sketch I always don’t like how it turns out, and then I erase the whole thing. I keep repeating this. I become frustrated and I feel I lost my creativity or I can’t actually draw. I’ve been drawing since a kid, I’ve watched so many videos and tutorials, but still repeating the same thing. 😭

I have art block right now and the reason I have art block, is because I'm trying to work on my anatomy!!!!!

[@Morgiana-i8z]

To be honest. It's surprisingly a mix of a lot of things. I love and hate my art at times and a lot of the time I wanna draw fanart for my friend and draw the characters she likes. But- it just doesn't turn out the way I want. So it ends up making me discouraged and frustrated. That and I always say oh there's so many other better artists then me. It just sucks and I guess when people say my arts good or cute. That's like a "it's not good enough." For me, I don't want to feel that way but I guess it's difficult because as an artist your hard on yourself. That and I wanna get better at drawing but at the same time I'm stubborn and want to just do what I can now.

I thought artblock was like a learning thing for school or something 💀

"Or you're just not feeling it" This is me 500%

[@youdontknowmebutiknowyou391]

Possible reasons why you have an art block is maybe because you are lazy😆 i have all the art supplies i need but I'm so lazy i don't know if there's a cure for that😅

[@maviramallo5382]

My art block comes from not being confident of drawings because I want to draw cool things I imagine but I'm not able to do it. I think I've never drawn somerhing of my own
