melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks agoThanks. I’m sticking to digital art at the moment because it’s more forgiving but it’s still hard.
I have books and it would be easier if I just studied but my brain is just weirdly broken right now. It’s so hard to make myself do it

Digital is a great medium, as one doesn’t have to fork out money for art supplies! And you can really tweak and adjust and form a piece without wasting canvas/paper.
It’s certainly a starkly different medium compared with traditional mediums, and takes practice as well. I like the ability to create layers, with one being the quick sketch, and with more layers adding more detail.
But I totally get that mental block - I have it with my poetry/writing, and even just basic household tasks. It’s a struggle to overcome and sometimes forcing it can help, but can hinder too, making it feel like a chore rather than a mental release.
I blame the weather for my mental block, and you should too imo 😂 nah fr it’s just the nature of a neuro-divergent brain I think, we go through fits and bursts of creativity and stagnation.
Take a little break, and come back with fresh eyes, try not to stress about the mental block, it will lift and you’ll find yourself with that inspiration again 💜
