i mostly sketch random things in my notebook for fun, when i dont know what to draw i just start doodling at random and i'll figure out what to make out of it in the middle of drawing it

[@chillinwithfrogs9708]

some ideas for people who dont have the money to regularly go out to places : -try cooking ,theres plenty of cheap recepies ,and it could be as fun as a restaurant -create flower crowns , bracelets, put flowers in our hair , or maybe draw them (even if you dont do copys of real life / still pictures or whatever theyre called , its great to try that sometimes ,maybe try doing them in your own style) -go to the library and read there ,it can be really aesthetic if you romantisize it with music(with headphones ofc / very quietly next to your ear on 1 vol), fave snacks/drink -draw some people in the wild -do a color collection( collect lil trinkets , flowers of every color of the rainbow) Im in a pretty good situation myself so im not speaking from expierience , i just tried to think of things, if you liked them let me know ill try to think of more

The tracing part is SO. REAL. I’ve been drawing for like eight years and because of internet culture I kept forbidding myself from tracing anything, but tracing and referencing really helps your art grow. Ofc that’s a whole different story when it comes to ACTUAL art theft tho

[@ernie39]

exactly!!

[@therealopaartist]

My final for my senior year art class got denied because it was deemed ‘too sad’ and ‘inappropriate’. It was a girl shrouded in darkness, a cloudy monster chained to her looming over her shoulder, and a bright hand reaching out towards her. I had to scrap it for a ‘happier’ idea. Kinda bummed me out because I put ALL my emotions and time into it.

[@isabellechapmanart]

Girl, you are so freaking funny! Also, I loved these tips. I definitely need to take care of my body’s needs more 😅 why is it so hard for us to slow down and take care of ourselves?

[@OwONekko]

Thank you!! ❤😭 I'm so glad you liked them! We got society telling us to focus on work and responsibility, Even before taking care of yourself! Doesn't help if your parents didn't take care of you (cuz then you wouldn't know how to take care of you either) it's hard to break out of but it's possible with practice! ❤️ you got this!!

[@isabellechapmanart]

@@OwONekko yes! So true. Thank you for replying, that’s very sweet of you. Definitely a subscribe from me 😊

[@ajdraws3721]

Mine is I have been waking up early and listening to music and just drawing random doodles or redrawing some old drawings or taking a shower or trying new art supplies or programme and just getting out and it's been helping a lot the past 2 weeks lol and then I sometimes post old drawings I did a week ago or sketches or I just take a break and relax

[@ernie39]

"Dont get stuck in the secondhand experience loop," you described that So Well augh!! It's seriously so easy to fall into; when I'm tired after all my required tasks like work and school it can feel so exhausting to go out and experiencing creatively stimulating things, but it's so necessary and refreshing! When i dont i feel like i stagnate, which just makes my routine feel more miserable.

[@cindersun]

this got recommended in my feed, commenting so it gets recommended to more people! I definitely have to subscribe bc within the first 20 seconds your sona's SO expressive and super cute as well. The advice is very sound and really well put! Keeping some of this stuff in mind is very especially with the basic needs helping with creative flow 😓

[@hanyouchick89123]

Back to basics. You don’t have to do anything grandiose. Draw like an eye ball or a nose mouth lips hands something relatively simple.

[@miakaupaite1988]

I'm honestly not even a creative (i've done some writing, mostly years ago) but I will take some of these tips to see if a creative little bugger shows up! thanks for the great video :)

[@skriddle]

DAAAAAANG i appreciated this for real, like a lot of art block advice doesn’t really connect with me. but this hit! i esp liked being given the go-ahead on allowing myself the freedom to just trace for practice!! i did it all the time as a kid & it truly helped SO MUCH, but as i aged i told myself i wasn’t allowed anymore. this year in particular i just kept demanding the little kid in my brain to crack down HARD on learning fundamentals, never waste time, study harder, draw the boring stuff i avoided for years… so essentially, i just put a sign up saying No Fun Allowed. no wonder i’ve resented drawing and had no interesting ideas of my own recently even though i’m actively ‘improving’. awesome vid thanks for posting !!!! (probably also helps to be hearing this stuff from another southern girlie too, it’s validating 💕 LMAOO)

[@VelvetPie]

I know I’m late 🥲 but these tips you’ve given us are extremely helpful! Thank you so much for the wise input 🙏 Off-topic, but I felt the need to say sumn about that song at the end… 🔥 🔥 🔥 WHY DOES IT ACTUALLY SOUND SO FIRE?! When you droppin it 🤯 Overall, thank you for this video, a lot of us could really use it! 😁

Quickest new favorite artist/creator ever 💖

[@L0ver0fHumanity]

Most of what helps my artblock is to just draw the most self-indulgent "cringe" shit I can summon. Usually anything that's from a media I like, self-inserts I find that they help me not have to worry about it being "good" I just need to have fun with it

[@ernie39]

yess!

[@SpeakerTea]

You are my new fav YT artist 👀

[@PartTimePhillip]

i know i'm super late but thanks so much for all these type of videos, been battling depressed artblock for 2 YEARS. (gahdamn help me) so i'm gonna try the tracing one out and hope for the best

[@Shoelacespider]

CURRENTLY SEEING THIS ON ART BLOCK TYSM YOUR SO COOL I WATCH YOUR VEDIOS HEAPS NOW YOUR SO FUNNY

[@Tigerness132]

I found your channel through the helluva boss redesigns and I. Am. So. GLAD. I. FOUND. IT!! Your contest is SO inspiring!!!! LOVE YOUR STYLE TWIN!!

[@sigh9257]

Last one was so powerful for me. When I stop for a few days because of art block, it always turns into weeks and then months. Creating is worth the effort 100%!

[@HORNET-Animations]

GODDAMN, thanks Nekko bro.

[@Frankie-Ak]

My favorite thing to do to beat art block is to treat myself to a "luxury bath". Basically, grab a snack, grab three drinks(sugary, pure water, and caffeine), watch a good show(i often combine that with reading a fanfiction, dont judge, it stimulates my brain pan), all while relaxing in some hot water with a bathbomb. It covers food, drink, stress, inspiration, and allows your brain to work in a nice environment. I HIGHLY recommend. Even if it doesnt work, you got to treat yourself and that will feel good, and you'll be a bit more relaxed that day ^-^

[@RioDoodlez]

you are so interesting!!! I love your videos :D

[@SayuBaka]

Cara, eu estou treinando meu inglês com seus vídeos e eu achei muito bom de ouvir e conseguir entender (mesmo que parcialmente) seu vídeo! Eu realmente estou passando por um bloqueio extreeeeemo, chega a ser realmenre horrível.

[@OwONekko]

Estou feliz que você esteja praticando, mesmo com a voz do meu country! Aprender um idioma não é fácil! Estou muito orgulhoso de você por seguir em frente enquanto aprende! Obrigado por assistir e me usar como guia haha! Estarei sempre torcendo por você!
