Art block ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

Okay so I'm trying to get back into my passion for drawing and doing art competitions, but I have no inspiration right now. The art block hits me like a train, and I can usually imagine ideas, but it's been a year and a half since I've touched my sketchbooks. The only reason I'm also asking for help is so I can start planning for my art portfolio so I can apply to Art school/ College. Please help, even if it's a 'Stupid idea' anything helps.

I'm kinda in similar position and I'm really bad about drawing consistently so i can't say much. but i usually do alright when its like a doodle with no particular meaning behind it. Usually also late at night when i absolutely have no brain left to think poorly about art lol.

sometimes i stream drawing digitally to a couple of friends and doodle as we talk. and sometimes i end up overworking a sketch into something that resembles finished art

Just overall i think just reach as far as you can for a bunch of different things that makes it slightly easier? maybe you could simplify it into a task like drawing the same kind of thing a bunch and then branching out? try to turn scribbles into a sketch? design a character based on something. I think for me the best thing is just feeling like i have to do it lol. My friends are too nice so i cant always use them for that kind of pressure but if theres a deadline maybe it works. kind of hard to get something like that and maybe not what you want to do. but idk sry/ whatever helps ✨

Good luck, genuinely ✨

Stupid idea, I don't even draw, but maybe watch something thats visually inspiring? Like a show or videogame that has a frame so beautiful you cant help but draw
