One of those oh vae days...

[FeatheredSeclude]

Welll... more like a week+
The past week I've not had any mood for drawing. I've been feeling mentaly zapped from energy. I near wrneched my back on the sedond, don't know how...
I haven't been getting much of any sleep, couple hours here, a couple there, etc. I feel I should take sometime off of drawing like I normaly do. I've been able to put some attention into some Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy, but that is burning out. KH2FM really was the only game I never got tired of playing. I think not being able to play it, and really starting to drive me bonkers.
Thatand everyone around me, esecially online, I see are having a lot oftrouble with their, and aren't getting appreciated for it. That isn't good to always see day after after. It seems artblock is turning into a genuine virus to artists. Though being hot and muggy for a week would give similar results.
I can't draw when I'm hot and sweaty, doubt an artist can. I can when I cold. The blood is flowing in my mind.
Yes, I have trades and prizes to do, but I want ask you guys for suggestions, to help relieve this case artblock+

I had this problem a while back. How I overcame it was by drawing a grid and filling in the names of some canon characters, some of my characters, and some of things I needed to get done. (It was quite a big grid!) Then I closed my eyes and randomly pointed at the page. Whatever box it landed in I drew it! Sometimes I picked 2 boxes (Man I got some weird combinations!!!) and drew them together. For extra fun I drew 2 more grids, one for age and one for type of drawing. I filled in cub, teen and adult for the age and headshot, part of a drawing and a full body. I managed to get things like a full body Mufasa cub with an adult Simba. and an adult Aa Moja (my fursona) with a cub Kiara as a part picture (normally I do head and shoulders!)
Otherwise (as my method isn't for everyone) I would suggest creating a powerpoint or a document full of pictures of lions. Adults, cubs, males, females, cartoon, realistic, Lion King, etc. They help with art block and inspiration.
Or, do a collab. I wouldn't mind doing one! But really, its up to you.
Be creative and have fun!

I'm in the collabing mood... I think I might have found a solution for myself.
I personally don't like telling people irl about my problems. Annoyances and such. They build up after a while, and I literally wound up balling about it private. I tend to talk to myself as well while in these fits. And I vent.Then I don't know why, but I had an overpowering urge to listen to some Breaking Benjamin. I did that, and sang along for an hour. Since then, I've been rather calm. And that was literally a couple of hours ago.
Then I tried drawing somethin' turns out I needed to make an animation. It's traditional, nor is finished. I got 4 frames roughed out, and I am pleased for now. I thought about maing one around the sametime the couldn't draw jank. Guessing that when I think of somethin' I haveto draw that... that sounds superstishes doesn't it?
I'll try drawing some canon characters, I actually have neverreally done it. Out the four years I have been here. Fail!
I am more than willing to do a collab with ya. It will give me something specific to draw.
How's the others sona? Cuz I wanna do Aja Moja. The brown one, I believe.
And fyi, this won't be counted as a prize. I have had someone do that with me before.

My reply is above your comment.
I failed by commenting to myself.

I'd love to do a collab! If you're drawing Aa Moja then I might draw Juanra because I love his design! Hmm... I wonder which form I'll do him in?

put on some music and just scribble! Don't even attempt to draw anything! Be like a kid and grab markers, crayons colored pencils and just drag it across the page. You can draw repetitive designs or little stick people. I made a few things with drawing practices and pretty much its like fill a paper with different sized circles that all touch or work on shading cross hatching. for me that helps and then not looking at other art. I dunno why but that helps I hope your art block goes away soon!

Kay!
He isn't my primary sona, but a... I don't how to put this... uh--special--personal character to me. So I'm down with that.
Do ya Want my half digital or taditional btw? And I am gonna wildy guess Saber.

[FeatheredSeclude]

It's easing up... been really stressed the past week or so. and wrenching your back twice could be a good source of stress. DX
And thank ya! I put a lot of my free time today into Dissidia 012 modding. Do you want Link from Zelda inthe game, well, he is now.
He fromNintendo and D12 is Sony. but both are Japan. So what is the difference.

[lionobsession]

Oh, is Feral your primary sona? I get the two mixed up (Sorry!). As for traditional or digital, I don't mind! Surprise me!

[FeatheredSeclude]

Well, surprise me as well, I fine with either one being drawn!
