i am deep in the "what the hell" valley, i have been struggling all month please let me out
[lays a hand gently on your shoulder] Diesel can you think of any large stressors that might be influencing your general mental well-being that have occurred in, say, the last month's time
i know i know, but this is getting in the way of my ability to REMEDY those things and its driving me insane
big same honestly, I find those are the best times to make some truly weird art though.
I keep trying to start something, anything, and get completely overwhelmed before I even have a proper gesture to work with.
I meant getting into more abstract stuff.
Gestures, anatomy, anything with too much structure, those are really hard when you're in a slump.
I feel the same, but everyone else is like "holy shit ur art is so good rn whatever you've been doing do it more" and I'm just. artist brain.
an artist I admire was like "damn i wish i got art block like u do" and. I get it. but. the emotional part isn't great even if it looks like i'm still producing.
as for u, I was told ages ago that art blocks were when your hand can no longer keep up with your brain and all you need is some time and it'll catch up and you'll have improved. <3
