ya cant make creativity and inspiration come whenever you want it to. but when it does come, ya know its gonna be awsome! just do something different for awhile, and the inspiration that makes your draws awsome WILL come back. just gotta give it a little time.

and, like gerry said, doodling IS fun.

I know how you feel, I had the same thing about 1-2 months ago. And the more I looked at the wonderful drawings everyone else was making, the worse I felt about my own stuff... I guess Gerry's advice really says it all; most important is to have fun, and doodling sounds like a good way to do that :) You're very loved and respected here, so it's not like you have to prove anything to us.. *hugs*
(Now all I have to do is listen to my own advice)

My solution is...doodle. Post it or not post it. I like color and the feel of the pen in my hand but MOST of the time I just cannot muster the effort it takes to make a piece of really good work. So I have given myself permission (see, I am OLD and wise now *giggle*), to NOt draw but to just play. I usually publish my efforts for I DO mostly make my stuff for me. My realism is actually for others *L* To show them that yes, she really is an art teacher and she really can "make art" if she feels like it. But the rest of the time i do what i feel like, be it communal draw, patterns or cartoons or just even looking. Many times I dont want to work so I look.

the major thing is this, don't let it become a chore or it will lose both it's freshness and appeal. You are only 16 darling Mary, you have lots of time to produce your lifes body of work. I am 58 today and should have already done that *L* So, in retrospect, maybe you should ignore all I just said *L* No, just joking,i gave you good advice, don't stress, just enjoy!!! *warm hug*

we cant make things happen sometimes its just a flow of energy that grips you... When I finished art college I became so self critical that i didnt paint for 3 years! Have a break, take a rest, but know that it will come back- possibly when you least expect it... this is Normal, Honestly!

Don't worry about it, Luthien ... you can't force it ... take a breather and it'll come back to you in its own good time. You have such talent! Chill...

I'm a genuine Sketchfu flake now. I wanted to get so much done, but it's not happening and I can't make it happen at the moment. My brain simply won't think and my hands refuse to create. I'm sorry.

As you've probably noticed, the quality of my artwork is quickly falling...or, at least, that's the way I see it going. I want to draw, I really do, I just *can't*. It'll drive me batty and my art will get worse from there. It's upsetting to not be able to draw what you want to draw. I'm going to assume that I'm creatively pooped out, this isn't the first time it's happened. I am just not enthused about drawing anything, It's pretty distressing.

I'll see what I can do about it in future. This stuff is also affecting how I'm reacting to other's galleries, comments and new sketches. I'm not enthusiastic about anything. :(

It'll wear off eventually and then I hope to be back at going strong with the drawings and communication. This isn't to say I'm leaving, certainly not. Just don't expect any eye-popping goodness out of me. Thanks for being so patient, everyone. I really appreciate your support and no, I'm definitely NOT ignoring you.
