Art block; something we all struggle with

I love when i have art ideas but real ones only come so often and only half i can execute the way i want to…. Anyway im writing this blog about art block and ways i overcome it.

So i get art block a lot as my school and work is very demanding of my time and i get sucked into this rhythm where i forget to sketch and then it keeps going until i get a rush of ideas like a cool breeze in a meadow and i just need to sit down and DRAW.

Ways i overcome art block;

Listen to favourite music and draw what i hear
Sit down with a pencil and sketchbook and draw still life’s from around my room
Pinterest.
Organise desk
Gather art materials
Force yourself to draw(this one can be difficult)
Eat or drink something(sometimes im so hungry or thirsty it effects my art)
MAKE YOUR DESK/DRAWSPACE FEEL LIKE HOME(so important)
Walk around.(doesn’t matter where, with who, what weather- it could even just be around your home)
Make yourself comfy(big hoodie and shirts go brrrr - my preference)
Practice self care and love(love your brain your brain loves you)
Sharpen your pencils
Do some homework(thinking about ime pressure and how you will have to do it later can Really suck)
Think about thing that made you have a certain strong emotion
Have a nap(allow yourself to be tired)

I hope this helps whoever it reaches and if you know an artist feel free to share to them

I want to make my place a safe space for anyone who’s struggling in any way dms are always open. Proud of you all don’t give up ever.

Xoxo
