Unlock Your Creativity: 4 Proven Cures for Art Block in Concept Art

Art block comes for us all...You have a vague idea, you pick up your stylus and...nothing. This might be especially true when you have a deadline looming or are feeling creatively drained. Sometimes it can be hard to get inspired.
In this video, I share my 4 professional cures for art block-that have helped me and many other artists to get unstuck and back to creation.
From changing your environment to trying new techniques, these cures will help you to reignite your creativity and get those creative juices flowing again. No more staring at the blank canvas, no more doubting every artistic decision, no more endlessly wondering when a project is actually "done".

Awesome as always Hardy thanks! I’m fresh off my vaca, with hundreds of new reference photos (shared a few with the class)!

Thank you so much for these tips on how to cure art block! Now, where can I find the playlist you spoke of, Is it the Vitamin String Quartet playlist or is it something else?

Hardy, another awesome video! Thank you man. And so cool to see Aphex Twin’s Xtal on your playlist! Have loved that track since it first released. Keep the vids coming please mate. So good.

[@fowlerillus]

That's so cool to hear - I love that song :) Thanks for the kind words - more coming soon!

[@punklogix]

LOL, That was good. Thanks, Hardy. I agree with Mercer on the tree study. I've been struggling with that as well. The foliage has been a real issue for me. It would be great if you could touch on trees in the future. just a thought. Thanks. Your videos have been so helpful for me. I have 4 of them so far. Thanks again

[@fowlerillus]

Right on! Two votes for foliage :) I'll queue that up. Thanks Kevin.

Your content and work are gigantic! But your actor skills are just surprising in the beginning of the video... it was funny😂... I miss the Academy. But I carry every single word from you with me. 👍👍👍 HIMOBACORE🤘

[@fowlerillus]

Miss you too Leandro! Haha. HIMOBACORE! :) I told the next design house after your cohort about that and they loved it. I hope you are doing well and always feel free to reach out if I can be helpful.

[@leandroxavier8063]

@@fowlerillus Haha... Yeah... It's crazy you saying "if I can be helpful"... Hahaha... Not just helpful, Hardy, reading the comments section here (and everywhere) You're not just helpful, you are necessary to digital painting world. I'll reach out, be sure. Thank you, Master.

[@bobc4d]

that is a terrific model, love the line, color and details. it kinda looks like a1948 Buick Roadmaster.

[@fowlerillus]

I had to look up that car but wow, you are exactly right about that! Definitely the era I was hoping to evoke. Thanks.

[@jayta906]

“Finalv5” … I feel targeted lol

[@fowlerillus]

I've been there :) adding "final" to a file name seems to curse it

[@MercerMusic1]

Can you make a video about how to draw tree branches?

[@fowlerillus]

That sounds like it would be cool. Branches specifically or foliage in general?

[@MercerMusic1]

@@fowlerillus ranches :( It is way harder than I initially though I dont have a plan or technique for it and cant find any content about that on youtube. I dont know why but my brain cant comprehend the shapes of branches even if I look at references😮‍💨

[@fowlerillus]

@@MercerMusic1 Gotcha! I'll remember that and I'll try and work it into the stuff I have planned. Thanks for the suggestion

[@MercerMusic1]

@@fowlerillus Can't wait to watch more of your videos. 🙂

[@Joeistheone_]

Hey bud i had a question that nobody answered.... how can you make blue prints based on this fo 3d modeling? I mean now that we have concept ... who's gonna make the accurate blue prints ? And "how"???

[@fowlerillus]

oh sorry if I missed a previous comment. I'm not sure how much help I can be there - designs like this are made to look and feel plausible but it is definitely not engineered to the level of anything that could actually be built or fly. If something like this was going to be modeled for a film or video game, a 3D modeler could just take this view (and I would have to paint a front or possibly top/bottom views) and just create it within a 3D program like blender. Is that what you're asking?
