#rambling but i relate to this problem a lot personally

Have you ever wanted to draw something but you fought due to your skill level at the time you decide not to do it

Oh 100% and still do!

A lot of my fighting comes from me skipping many fundamentals when i started doing "better" art (went from doodling dogs to trying to do nice muscle anatomy), like shapes/color theory/base structuring and going straight into trying to get good at anatomy/colors/painting/etc, so I definitely get frustration and "art block" from it. Sometimes I've had to simply sit on an idea for years before I actually got to it and did it and and I personally think "that's fine, i just needed to grow some more skill and confidence to do it" is fine and works for me to get out of those art lows.

It is such a repeated advice, but even i am finally starting to try and follow it, to relearn some basics; but practice shapes/forms/your fundamentals and the workflow to create what you envision in your head will come easier. It may not be perfect for a good while, but that's what practice and growth is, a process that takes time depending on the person. <:)

It's a-okay to set a piece/idea aside for a little while or a long while, don't try and force it if it isn't working. Try new angles, new colors, make loose doodles of the idea and build from there. Many times the first idea might be too rigid, the angle isn't working, so playing around with it early on will help you tremendously in the later parts of making it.
