![]() ![]() ![]() The second time, it was also uninspiring, but I recognized another bad habit. Right after the crappy drawing, I would journal, and I uncovered a bad habit, and writing about this inspired me to set it right by doing another drawing the next day (same theme, not the same drawing). When I got back to drawing, I felt like it wasn’t coming out in any way that made me happy. I’ve been swamped for the past month, so I didn’t have time to draw after work. Since I’ve been doing it all day (in between drawing), I’ve uncovered many issues and limiting beliefs that I’ve had. I know how you feel! I’ve been writing a lot in a journal – and this past week, I’ve had time to journal quite a lot. If you are uninspired just draw the world around you then all that practice will be there for you when you are inspired once again. But above all don't quit or stop if you can help it. Beware of what pressure you put on yourself and make sure you love and celebrate all the art that you do - it's yours and its a part of you, and your journey. This is me putting standards on my own work and it just stops motivation for me all together. It makes me thing UGH I will never be better or get good. Stop looking at all the amazing artists on the internet - its so overwhelming too look at someone on their art journey that is miles ahead of me. Your practice should bring you back around and inspire you. Find joy in drawing the most pointless of things just for the sake of drawing or doing. Draw the world around you like a salt shaker or spoon. And if you hate the results just dedicate your drawing time to honing your skills to be better at drawing. Try to focus on why you are doing art, not the result. My lack of motivation comes from me thinking my work is pointless or meaningless or simply just a waste of my time. If you feel unmotivated or uninspired one thing to try and not do is to stop working or practicing.
