24 for the art meme

24. How do you deal with artblock?

I am a very, VERY stubborn person. Most of the time I try to just push my way through it. Just start doodling faces/expressions/squiggles whatever comes out of my hands. I like to think of it as "getting the bad drawings out". No matter your skill level, you're always going to make art that you don't think looks good some of the time- that's okay! It happens to everyone as far as I've seen! In my experience, the act of just scribbling out nonsense things can get your creative juices going- and if not? If I'm still frustrated after that? Usually that means it's time for either a nap or a video game break. Possibly both.

#i was actually starting to get one yesterday!#it took me a few hours to work out how i wanted the layout of page 8 to look #when it usually takes me 30-45 minutes!#it was very frustrating!#but mercifully it seems to have abated already #just going ham on Ingo's face in the sketch i uploaded earlier today was what did it for me this time #last time i was frustrated with my work i booted up sonic frontiers and beat the snot out of some giant robots and then went to bed #art block had fizzled by morning #anyway Ursula the painter from Kikis Delivery Service was right about creative blocks actually #sometimes you just need a break and that's okay
