What is your best way to get over art block?
Ah ha ha, the age-old artist's enemy OTL
My best way to get rid of it is to write before I draw owo""
It sounds like a weird method, but think about it. I like to write stories of certain characters of mine, and when I do, it sets a mood, gives a scene emotion, gets everything ready. Then I bring it to life with a picture. Sometimes it's only a little paragraph or something, but it always makes a picture and it always comes out very well. Typically, it breaks art block for me too, because it's inspirational !

Ah, I haven't posted here in forever.

What is your best way to get over art block?
Generally when I have art block, I don't try to force myself to draw. Still, it can be helpful to write for some of your characters and see if any scenes in their stories would be fun to draw or spark some inspiration. Listening to music that you like also helps to a certain extent.

I guess I'll just leave a bunch of my somewhat recent drawings here as well.

I also currently have an art contest going on which is linked to in my signature and ends soon if anyone would like to join. ^^

owo Welcome to the club Bold!
Those are some neat drawings Aibo uvu I like the WIP of the dog, looks very detailed.

Here's a question for you ;3

Do you prefer to draw humans? Feral? Anthro? Something else?

Personally, I much prefer drawing feral. Humans are too hard so I never do them eme and then anthro is annoying, and I can't get it to look right. OTL

Also, London, I have an idea for the thread. Seeing as we are art addicts, would it be okay to 'challenge' people to draw something/in a specific way?? Like, with the opposite hand that you usually use. It's kind of a silly idea, but I thought it might be fun, and a good chance for club members to practice new things c;

Pretty much only feral x3
Humans and anthros don't turn out right for me.

And I really like the challenges idea you got there c:

I prefer feral I know the anatomy much better. But I will do humans sometimes. That is if I am in the mood. And if I do I usually make it a lineart for myself. Like I currently have two new human characters drawn out both with the same lines. as for anthro, yeah i can do them. They sometimes work out better than humans

What is your best way to get over art block?
I like sketching to get over art block. Sometimes I will get online and just take out a pencil and notebook then find an image rotater site and just sketch. Or I will listen to random recommended songs on my Youtube.

It's not a silly idea, I quite like it. :3
Would you want to challenge a specific person, or should we have like a weekly challenge that the whole group participates in (or those who want)?

And I reallly need to update the front page, I'll do that asap. ^^"

    that's a really good idea ^^ drawing with my opposite hand will look like crap but it's a challenge after all haha. we should try drawing something we've never drawn before.
