Hi!
Umm..
Can you please help me? I'm a beginner artist ...
I'm in very long art block.. like 8 months..
it's like I forget how to draw.. I really want to draw but
I have no desire to draw
I want to draw but I'm like scared / anxious .. I tried drawing after this months but my linse are very bad that I became like this.. unable to even try again because I'm scared >..< I know I'm pathetic šŸ˜­.... sorry about this serious question ..
any advice / tips are very appreciated šŸ„²

iā€™m really not the expert here since i donā€™t draw at all but this sounds a bit like my recent writers blockā€”i got out of it by writing super short low effort stories where i didnā€™t care if they were good or bad bc nobody but me would read them. so like if you get nervous every time you go to draw, iā€™d go for quick drawings of things you donā€™t have much emotional attachment to (ie, youā€™ll be more upset drawing your favorite character and getting things wrong vs drawing like the ladybug sitting on your windowsill) and just do that until drawing becomes fun again. lots of luck to you !!
