For so many weeks I've been trying to do art, in whatever form it may be, whether it's coloring, drawing, painting, writing or even making music, I try. But the infamous art block has swallowed me whole in its rageful waves.
There's so many tools out there to help artists that go through this, but none of those tend to help me, because here's the thing: I know what I want to do and convey, I just... can't.
I think my ideas are nothing but creation ideas beyond my abilities. I want to paint, but I want to paint intricate landscapes and portraits, I want to draw but I want to draw my original characters in all their otherwordly adventures, I want to make music but I want to create a well-crafted concept album, all of these things are possible, but not right now, and that pains me.
I want this to be proof of an artist's ambition. I'm a stranger on the internet with a flame inside that burns with the fuel of their passion, it will keep burning forever.
And to those who are going through this too: we will figure it out, we will be able to do these things, and every step of the road is as important as the next. Let's try to start slow, with our goal in mind. People will tell you to create every day, and while it's true that it helps so much, don't press yourself, there's a fine line between being consistent and torturing yourself, especially if you're not in a great mental state and motivation is lacking. Go at your own pace, believe me, it's worth it.
Thank you for reading this... uh... however you want to call it!! XD I wanted to elaborate more, but there's too much going around in my current environment, so I couldn't focus well. Hope it was okay-ish to read tho!! :^
K bye :3
