Re-Thinking My Art

Hey there guys. It's been a while since I've actually written anything on here, huh? And unfortunately, it's going to be something like this.

Recently, I found myself no longer really enjoying what I draw anymore. It feels like I'm more forcing myself to draw anything whenever I actually get to drawing and I shouldn't be feeling that way about it. I'm not sure if it's just because I'm having to balance a lot of things in life or if the path I took with my drawings is just making it harder to actually draw anything. I wish I had a solid answer to that, then I would feel less crazy and have a proper solution to my problem.

For the time being, I think I'll just stop drawing for the rest of the year. I need to re-gather my feelings about all of this and hopefully I'll have a proper answer for myself when the year ends.

When I start feeling that way about drawing, it's usually because I feel imprisoned by my current process. So I just try out new mediums, new methods, new ways of approaching art. For instance, I felt stymied by inking early on in my art career, so I just freehanded for a while. Then that felt stale, so I tried Blob Composition. Then I tried painting. Now I've been sketching with airbrushes and doing long stroke. Oh, and I also draw on my shower walls with bathtub markers and make tie-dye shirts.

Try something different out, it might help!

Probably a good idea to try out new things. Thanks dude, I'll definitely keep that in mind while I take my break! ^^

Take all the time you need to figure things out. Art should never be a chore. It's should be something you enjoy
