My Process by sonderjen
My process is a continual cycle of accidental discovery followed by forgetting how to draw, then rediscovery followed by more forgetting and sharp increase of anxiety. I will hit moments of surprise (ie "Wait, I did this?"), but they usually precede a mini art slump where I question my abilities.
And then I make more art. It's best not to think about it too much.

I try to always expose myself to tutorials, and rarely one will make something click in a big way.
What I've found to be most helpful is to always be focusing on at least 6 different projects at a time - focusing on whatever I need to to keep the wheels running. The trick is to make sure to not wrap up all of your interests into one project, but spread them out a bit so you don't feel like you're always working on the same thing every day (or you don't come up with a good idea that you can't use because you don't have a pulp space opera comic to work on).

this pretty much sums up mine too

Haha, it happens with music, too
My biggest works were usually when I learned about a new era, or the workings of a style, and used what I knew about it from other artists to patch together something of my own
Without a framework like that, there were usually way too many different places to go, and so I would go to both all and none of them-
Yeah, that's part of it too. I guess you keep the techniques that resonate with you until a particular style emerges.

Oh thank God, I'm not the only one.
How do you get back on track? Do you find books or look at tutorials on YouTube or whatnot?
