So basically i have this problem where i am relativly good at art but i cant get my thoughts and ideas down on paper. I love to draw sketch paint ect, but when i go to draw or something, i cant think of anything to draw and if i do think of something its something really depressing about like death, or suicide or something like that. I dont know what my problem is. like i have depression but im not on any meds; and im happy most of the time [mostly when im with my Boyfriend <3] but why would my medical problems be affecting my artwork?

If you feel like drawing suicide all the time then draw suicide all the time.

You don't have depression if you're "happy most of the time".

Sorry.

edit:: if you're between 14-16.. well that's probably why.

Art is a direct expresion of the artist.

you can probably only think of depressing imagery because right now in your life, your feeling down. Which you already said is true. There's nothing wrong with depressing imagery, hell i love an imagery from any artist as long as it's expressive of them.

My style has been called, grungy and depressing at times, it's also been called whimsical. Thats because when i do art, how I'm feeling directly affects what I'm going to do subconsciously.

I would draw what you think of. It could be a good way to get some pent up feelings out of your system. And the more you draw the better you become.

maybe you should draw what you are feeling, it could be (perhaps) a "best" work without you even knowing. Art and poetry, words and pictures.. they are a form of feelings of emotions.... let it out!

just sit down with your pen and paper and just DRAW dont hold back. because you need to let out what your holding it. yah you MIGHT not draw like that but it's away to get it out. I do the same thing. I dont like drawing lovey dovey stuff but i do it anyway so I know Im not holding it back and I can get it outta my system really quickly
