I'm in a slump😭

Posted by choconyan - 3 weeks ago


Well, as the title suggests, I'm in a slump. No matter what I draw, I'm not satisfied with it. I feel like I'm going to hate my art.


But I want to be able to draw better, so please let me know your opinions and advice about my drawings for my motivation.

Well, taking a pause might work!
But if you do want to continue drawing, then you have to find what motivates you! Your art is amazing! I followed you :3
So, what does motivate you? Is it money? Attention? Simply seeing the work done? Maybe you lounge to do bigger projects?

How to motivate yourself depends on your feelings, on what would make you feel good.

Then, if your asking about how to draw better, study and practice are equally important. Study what you want, the way you want, but study. It's very important.

Then you have to practice. To practice is to make mistakes. Experiment new things!!!

Finally, "draw like a child would" is something I often tell myself when I feel bad about my drawings. When you see a child drawing, do you see them wondering how to make a drawing look good? No, they just draw, and use everything and anything : glue, glitter, cardboard boxes...

So make art the way a child would : stop worrying, start creating. Tell yourself, I'm the BEST artist ever. And then, do whatever you want.

Art isn't supposed "to look good". Art is the expression of oneself, so express yourself, GO CRAZYY :3

My motivation is to have my paintings seen by many people and to know that someone likes my paintings, so I'm really glad you followed me!! Thank you so much(*^^*) I'll practice drawing more

It’s okay to have “artist’s block” sometimes! Characters or ideas with characters you like will eventually come to you and you’ll be satisfied again! I think you have a really cool and cute art style, and what better way to improve than to keep drawing and experimenting!

It's not fun for me to force myself to come up with an idea, so I'll try to draw it casually(。-ω-) Thank you for complimenting my drawing!!

Here are a few suggestions on my end.

Either find the time to take breaks, stretch, exercise, or meditate.

or

Explore more on anatomy and the outside as your canvas reference.

You can try out both, these are my suggestions.

You're right, anatomy helps me draw the body. Your opinion is very helpful! thank you!!

As I often suggest to other friends that are having art block, I suggest the following:
Draw random nonsense.
Doodles, scribbles, so on and so forth.

By drawing things that you AREN'T concerned with making to the top of your ability, you keep the hands busy, and eventually have enough fun with it that the pressure to create something complicated and detailed slowly fades away.

Once the stress is off, it's much easier to pick up the pencil/tablet and try again.
Best of luck!

Thank you so much!! I think I need to practice drawing more😅

行き詰まっていると感じたり、自分の絵が醜いと感じる場合は、休憩を取ってリラックスできることをしたり、絵を描く意欲を高めたいと思うことをしたほうがよいでしょう :3

おねがいマイメロディを見たら?落ち着くのと、絵を描くモチベーションが上がるのでオススメしました>w<

イラストレーターも自分の絵が気に入らないと感じることもありますが、心配しないでください。応援させていただきます^w^

日本語でコメントありがとう(*T^T)ゆっくり寝ます

@choconyan 私は友達を助けたいだけです>w<
