[humble fox]

so uh bro genuinely how do i get motivation to wanna draw again...😭😭😭😭

[untold dirge]

personally i just force myself to get up and draw or i look for ideas
maybe do little doodles and see if u want to draw something more than that !

[fiery tulip]

become obscenely obsessed with smth

or figure out whats satisfying to draw

[tawdry jay]

Maybe go to pinterest look for some references that would inspire you

[humble fox]

genuinely i get close to starting again and then just scroll or do smt else

[humble fox]

i just wait until the motivation comes back to me at the best/worst possible moment. one of the reasons i hate art block😭

[humble fox]

idk when it'll ever come back

[candid iron]

uhmm here are some potential things that might help for you that i know have worked for me in the past!

Getting a new interest and making ocs for it usually helps me personally to get motivation especially if its one ive been putting off for a while

another is going on Pinterest and finding something random to draw and putting it in your own style instead of trying to directly copy it

or just gaslight yourself LOL

[muted oxide]

same thing here, you dont know, one second you have art block, the next your sitting around making a masterpiece(in rough sketch, if it looks good rough imagine what it would look like if its neat😭 ) in half the time you usually take.

[humble fox]

hopefully broo

[humble fox]

honestly yea i just need to start again and go

thanks guys🥹

[candid iron]

Np!!

just draw. Dont wait for motivation.
I improved a lot just by drawing every day around 10min
once you start sitting down, your drawing session will get longer without noticing.
do gesture drawings for warm up
set timer
dont expect a masterpiece.
For 425 days I drew every day. Even with art block.
if you get into art block, focus on studys. Copy references. Copy your favorite artist. Watch tutorials to get the spark again.
if you want to get better dont expect drawing to be always fun. Sometimes its hard work to force yourself. Often you dont see any improvement for weeks but you will get better over time.
set goals. Why are you drawing? What do you like about drawing? What topic is the most interesting to you?
And focus on them

[humble fox]

wow i mean yea this is really great bro but i wish i could just make myself do stuff😭

whenever i try to draw idek i just never get to it or i make up some dumb excuse, then normally distract myself with something else

Then you have to first learn discipline
