Art Block - Motivation and Inspiration Boosters

All artist hate it - I certainly do. I've had it for the past two months now. I'm happy with what little I have drawn lately. Maybe because of lack of time or the fact i'm depressed about financial situations. Perhaps the fact I'm living with my parents for the summer is getting to me.

Lack of time also means no listening to music, that good 'ol inspiration. Plus I've been looking for books, but found nothing that suites me.

I not really asking how to cure the art block, more perhaps I need motivation, and discussion if need be.

I'm trying to post more around the different forums after GFF recent threat to closure to, I suppose, get some kind of inspiration. Or just getting non arty thoughts out of my head and onto http.

I draw figurative and anthropromorph mainly - a fusion between american comic art and manga - though my anatomy skills suck as of late and my faces seem to be lacking expression, and I want to broaden my costume knowledge as well. I'm also looking for something more dynamic. I find that I've been writing down ideas as drawing them usually fails because I can be over ambitious.

I was thinking about drawing landscapes, but they aren't my strong point.

To boost my motivation, I was thinking about doing comissions for people, but after a while I get tired of not doing my own stuff

I don't know ><

My deviant art page (http://ryufan.deviantart.com) - please look and see if can give me some lost inspiration. It hasn't been updated lately due to the obvious (and that my scanner is a spaze)

And I suppose commissions are open as well if nessisary - but plz keep it simple :doh:

P.s - sorry if the grammer etc of this post is a little off - I've been up for about seventeen and a half hours and I'm writing without the aid of my full consious lol. ^^

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hmm - I'll give it a shot
Though I find imagery more inspiring than words. Stuff that makes me angry usually gets me going - I suppose that's a kind of hate.
I see how I go with that
Thanks agreatguy6

There's nowhere I can't reach.

True - thanks for your advise Magi ^^

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Thanks
I'll see how I go

Most amazing jew boots

I guess I just need a small push, and then I get going
It's more of an ego boost I suppose

I managed to wake out two descent linearts out of five
I going to proceed to start colouring some things, maybe that will set things going again

cheers everyone

I was speaking idiomatically.

I think it was chuck jones who said something along the lines of;

"You get one great drawing out of a thousand concepts"

And I have to agree - alot of things come to me out of the blue, it's just questionable whether or it is drawable

This block is slowly going, and I starting to get a lot happier with my work again. Practice makes perfect; you can improve something by working on it over a long period of time, but of course it is how you practice

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
