#artistic block

Me: "I Think my burnout is getting better"

Also me having a literal nightmare of being forced to draw at gun point: "Okay maybe not?"

Been having some block problems lately so I made a little comic about it.

And if you haven’t noticed, I picked up a new fountain pen ink that’s a brighter shade of blue with a touch of purple undertones. 💙 

I use Pilot Iroshizuku inks. I had started with a blue/black deep sea Shin Kai and now I’ve added a bottle of blue/purple morning glory Asa Gao.

Hello^^ Please don't take this the wrong way! I- I miss your Helsa fanart ^_^ Is there any chance you will continue drawing Helsa? Please I'm not trying to rush you and you don't have to draw because I want to see more of your art. I was just wondering if there would be any Helsa by you in the (near)future?^^ Your fanart is just wonderful and it fills my heart that's all

Ok, this message made me feel even worst about not being able to post more Helsa fan art yet :(

Truth is I have started four pieces and I have even more ideas. But I’m going through an artistic block that doesn’t let me finish anything Dx I’m sure I’ll post more Helsa. I just really can’t tell when X(

Thank you for the support though. It does lift my spirit. And I know I shouldn’t be, but I’m sorry I’m stuck these days.

no creativity left in me

I hate the winter time - All I want to do is sleep and hibernate - When it comes to creativity it’s mega hard work - Usually I am a slow worker but in the winter I am extra slow - I need to keep going and keep creating no matter how bad the work is - Artistic Block is hard work 😓

Finally feeling inspired to take pictures again. Thank goodness

All i ever do is copying things. The only drawings i´ve been proud of lately have been portraits or comic´s i´ve copied. Whenever i draw an OC my mind gets filled with stories about them, and all i wanna do is get rid of all them, because i know i´m not gonna write them down, and that if i do, i will never finish them. I used to write, but now i just want to quit. It would be easier if i didn´t have ideas, because the problem is that i have too many and none of them are good. I have only done two or three comics that i´m kinda proud of, things that i have put my effort and my heart in, just for me, really. I felt that i was doing something. They were adapted novels or fan comics. I thought that one day i would put so much love in my own story, with my own characters, but i guess that´s not going to happen. I´m going to a creative writing class this summer, but being like this i don´t know what i´ll be able to do there. I want to do something again, but what i lack is the motivation that i had before, when i spent three years of my life drawing a comic, while drawing and writing  another one (a Game of thrones parody that i spent one year or so doing) , a few short comics for comic contests, and writing stories and novels. I feel empty, but i don´t seem to be able to finish any of the things i start. 

My friends think i´m very productive, because i draw a lot of stuff, but i am really frustrated. I don´t know why this is happening, but if it goes on, i just don´t know what i´m going to do.
