Bleh by FayV

I hate those art moods where just, nothing is good enough. I just can't stop thinking how lazy i've been. How much i've avoided actually working on art and fundamentals, so now I struggle at every turn. Bleh.

Hopefully I get over this soon and have my next little break through. If I had half a mind I'd sit down and start studying, but then other work comes up and I just go "no I shall just derp"

    Yep. Definitely an artist.

      we are such fickle people

    I have the same feeling all the time. I know I should do more anatomy-studies because it is biting me in the ass. Hard.
    But at the same time, I keep putting it off?

    You could always make a sketchbookthread? I personally feel like having a boot behind my bum at least helps me to keep going on the dry anatomy-stuff.

      I've considered it. I don't want to be one of those twerps that gets lovely advice and then is just "nah!"

      We'll see after I get some of this work done.

        I mean, you don't have to take all advice on board and immediately show that you've taken it on board in the next sketch that you post.
        Just an acknowledgement is plenty for most people.

        And it's more about keeping the motivation up and sort of obliging yourself to do at least one sketch a day because you have to update your sketchbook, rather than putting it off because there are no people waiting for updates. Hope I'm not being to fuzzy in my explanation. D:

    i often fall into slums where i dont really feel like doing anything i like to do. when i get in these moods, i force my self to do something. i pick something and i force myself to do it. that way i am still productive and at the end of it all, i will have not let the time go to waste.

    if you dont know what to draw, force yourself to draw something. if you need an idea, my answer is Ninja Dragon-Riders. (great movie btw) so get drawing! draw an encyclopedia of derp.

    • Link

      Yeah. I have things I need to draw. I just keep going "wow I could be so much better if I just tried" but...I didn't so meh.

    Derpers gotta Derp. Motivation comes and goes. And when you've been working as much as you have on stuff it's hard to go that extra mile. Hope you get outta the slump soon Fay. I know we all love your work.

    Every once in a while it's just in our nature to want to slow down and relax. Don't beat yourself up. I think we all deserve a rest now and then!

    • Link

      eh I'm not too bothered. I've had lots of rest, I just don't really feel motivated at the moment, but then I'll be doodling lazily at some point and go "omg I am amazing, lookit that hand"

        I know what you mean, I got to the same point building fursuits. I have been burnt out or just not motivated to want to make any for about a year now.

  • Link

    Bu...but...you're my hero! If you can't draw, I can't...I believed in you :'C (seriously though, hope your motivation returns soon!)

    • Link

      I'm sorry, so so sorry

  • Link

    Yea, I get that feel often. But us artists gotta find inspiration in odd places! Like the old PS2 game from 2004 that you haven't played in forever. >.>

    • Link

      Yeah I'll get better. I'm just grumpy because I need to finish up some work and I just hate everything I draw right now.

  • Link

    Pretty much me the entire half of last year. It was only until recently that I am enjoying the art I make.

  • Link

    I'm in a slump as well...

    I've been gaming with friends or going out and about with friends.
    Sometimes.... You just need to back away for a few days (hopefully not weeks)...

    Also, just randomly messing with sketching and colors sometimes help. Cuz it's like....... Bam! Inspiration happens!
