-- Posted by TechnoShark at 11:50 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 I'm losing my sense of creativity. I don't know what it is, but it's draining out. I'm frustrated that I haven't really found my "artistic style". My drive and motivation for drawing is withering. What are some ways I can try to boost this again? It's like some sort of creative depression, it sucks. -- Posted by blufindr at 11:55 pm on Nov. 16, 2008 I don't know. I have that same problem. -- Posted by BackPorch at 12:25 am on Nov. 17, 2008 Try something new. -- Posted by cutie2 at 2:49 am on Nov. 18, 2008 For writer's block they reckon sitting down with pen and paper and just writing everything that comes into your head, even if it's just like "I think we've run out of milk, maybe I should go get some more. I like frogs. i ate a mango today", the idea is to not censor yourself, and to just keep going for a set amount of time. Freewriting. Maybe you should try freearting! I did that once with paint. I hate wasting precious canvases but I was so depressed I grabbed one and just put lines on it and coloured bits in and painted shapes and a few words, as the whim took me. It didn't cure my depression but it was very therapeutic. :p alternatively you could just use some paper. but yeah, freewriting helps loosen up a writer, and I think there's definitely such a thing as artist's block. If you like drawing, you could randomly pick out a few photos, maybe from deviantart (are you aware of the Stock and Resources section - photos you can use for your art? they're awesomely handy) and practise drawing them (I'm thinking of people but that's only because that's what I usually draw). -- Posted by s9babe101 at 1:59 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 you should talk to someone...only if you trust them though. maybe your too stressed out and so the constant influx of your emotions is stunting your ability to create things. like all the confusion or attention towards issue's you have is clouding your creative ability. i dont know, but i hope that sort of helps
