i cant explain what is going on with me right now. i feel crippled art wise. the skills and what ever talent i had, is still there. but something huge and horrible and stinks of fear, an old fear, is blocking it all right now.
i can get a small bit of art done before it closes in and i have to stop.
its like the stars aligned, but they are the evil kind. everything is against helping. the very mood of the land outside is making me feel bed.

i hope it passes soon. no one should ever get this!

It's okay to take a break from art sometimes too. Too much of something starts to feel grueling.

As artists of any kind I think we're more internal than the average person. We sink into these sort of thoughts and just can't stop thinking them. They become more powerful than talent and common sense. Fear of not being good enough, of never having been good...(my fear) and that if your talent can't move forward that you've wasted so much time with it already! It's scary. I think maybe the trick is getting out of your head. Trying NOT to think because thoughts are what's blocking you. Thoughts are where the fear come from. If we could find a way to shut down just that part of our brain that doubts everything would fall into place. I know, I know, I'm rambling. For what it's wroth, I think you're talent is above and beyond the average artist, and I DO see you moving forward with every project you do. Especially the ones you do for YOU. I LOVE the sketches you've been working on, they're great! And I really hope that the looming wall that is stopping your forward momentum suddenly grows an open gate!

Every artist has this kind of fear. Right now, I'm in the "art-block-phase" to... I feel like I'm not improving, and I'm afraid that I won't reach my goal of becoming an illustrator.
But at the same time I know it will pass eventually, as long as I won't stop drawing! :)

My thoughts exactly. This sometimes keeps me awake at night; I mean, I just start thinking about all these things and I can't make it stop.
But at the same time I realize that the only thing I can do is draw and draw and that sooner or later I'll be okay. What would be the point in being an artist or anything at all, really, if I didn't believe in myself in the end? Or at least if I didn't try? (:

*le pinch* Wake up from this artistic nightmare
You are amazing and your style is unique. You crank out art like no other. I look forward to your comic, when you aren't on hiatus due to life. I wish I could be as awesome as you. I have been trying to draw the same person for weeks, but every time I try I over think it and just flop. I am drawing him right now any barely have a base up for the body. Don't even get me started on the animals in this picture. My animals look like three year olds spat on a piece of paper. Well You could best me with out looking. You are awesome. Don't doubt it, ever *hugs* You are amazing and talented in away no one else could ever be, be glad you don't have someone else's talent or drive.

Don't worry! You'll get past it and make the best artwork ever! I know how you feel, art block... Just try and make your best art piece with something new in your own style but from other's art.

I feel the same way, if it's any consolation I think you're doing great.

I think that this is common in artists, at lest it is for me. these periods come and go for me sometimes months pass with out the ability to create. . I have found that being surrounded by other creative people helps me the most . I hope that these feelings of foreboding pass you by soon, and you can create once again
