WHY DO ART BLOCKS KEEP ATTACKING ME??? by Dragonologist

I want to draw, but whenever I try to draw it turns out like some crappy worthless scribbles. I just can't art no matter what I try. Music doesn't help, looking up inspiration doesn't help, trying to draw fanart for others doesn't help, THIS ART BLOCK JUST DOESN'T LET ME DRAW!

Idk why I keep getting attacked by art blocks.

Go away artblock, no one likes you.

No one.

NO OOOOONEEEEEE!

#artblock

Idk when it will go away. But until then expect inactivity.

@messy NOOOOOOOOO WHY DID YOU GO TO LOOK AT THAT OLD CR.AP?? And about the Rechor thing. There are to Rechor's now. Rechor junior (The Rechor that is in the nightclaw and Torcher story) who doesn't speak French. And French Rechor (the father of Rechor Jr.) the steriotypical French arrogant jerk who is Edward's rival. I changed that fairly recently though.

Yeah french rechor has the most outrageous accent ever.

And idk. I mean I really can't draw. I can only scribble. Like I can't make an actual drawing.

I sugggest you look at pictures and try to copy them (without tracing) to improve your anatomy. I also suggest you work on your shading and backgrounds though I know backgrounds can be a huge pain. (if you've seen my old crap you know i used to absolutely suck at backgrounds).

And your art doesn't suck, it looks quite nice. It just doesn't look the way you want it to look and trust me i've been there. But it takes time to form your style and art skills. My style used to be seriously different from now. My old style was really cartoony and simple and it wasn't shaded. But over the years, by looking at playbacks/tutorials, looking at other people's art to see how they do things (but not copying them) and by looking at references I've improved a lot. I'm still not completely happy with my art but It looks a lot better than it used to look.

If you just keep practicing, draw something every day (even if it's just a doodle), and never give up your passion for art, then you will become an amazing artist. It just takes time.

What I do is try to draw with emptiness until it goes away

There's this thing called thumbnailing.
You basically draw the same thing until you like how it looks.
That might help a bit?... whenever I have an art block I practice poses and stuff
